I would like to remind ourselves of the widely-known fact that the villagers come forwards with much more imaginative ploys than the wolves normally do execute. Also the wolves come up with much more sophisticated schemes some people might be at to cast suspicion on innocents.

This surely seems not to be a "normal game" and Spm & tp might be ones to come up with pretty imaginative stuff. But still I'm afraid lmp is overthinking it here.

Also, thus far I have an impression that those two are making actively the most sense in here even though they do not share all the points. That doesn't mean they are not wolves. Not the least. The best wolves speak sense and are thence trusted. But this far I wouldn't wish to lynch them (even though the magnitude of their posting makes the reading of this thread pretty laborous...). Naming someone innocent at this point I would call a bit hasty, but not to be lynched might do well with me, now.

The latter point I think is also more complicated than lmp considers it to be. Surely the existence of a rival wolf will interfere with any plans the other wolf would like to execute. That fits beautifully with the general dynamics of this game where all rational approaches are discouraged and partly barred. So the other one will hinder her/him and should be removed. The killed wolf has been granted bragging rights but we all would know who was it that won in the end.
