Good point, at least by looking at the last game. However, what happened in Nogrod's game?

We had too good wolves?

But surely we should not assume there's something wrong with a game if the innocents don't win?

But, but, but... I'm always Innocent.

Of course not, I just wanted to prove the good idea wrong.

I know Werewolf in various forms has been played widely on the Internet, but has any other group of people done it as long as we have? We've done almost 50 games thus far (more if you include T-I-G Junior), and we tend to be more articulate than the average online community at the same time. If anybody ever wanted to do a study on long-term Werewolf players, this would be a good place to start.

OK, whatever happened, I'm posting this again:

Adding up all games played thus far, I've noticed a lot of unusual stuff here (games with odd sorts of roles, etc.) but have managed to sort out most of it. WW44, the latest game, has not been posted on this thread yet.

There have been 57 games in all, 44 Tol-in-Gaurhoth games and 13 Junior games.

The innocents and the Good Wizard have won 26 games, 45.6% victory rate.

The wolves, bear, lovers*, Evil Wizard, Things, etc. have won 30 games, 52.6% victory rate.

Tol-in-Gaurhoth 16 was a tie, and thus 1.75% of games were tied.

At present, the Wolves are winning.

*The only Lover victory was WW25, in which there were 4 pairs of lovers and no team of wolves, so I place them with the Wolves for now.

These percentages tell that there is something quite right in the game-mechanics in the 'Downs. It is an even game and thence interesting! Were that something like 70% against 30% one might lose interest...
