Which bring forwards a question of what to do if all the remaining wolves / the last remaining wolf is "on duty" during the Night and there are no "free wolves" to make the kill? As a backbone-reaction I'd say we'd come up with the wolves with a kind of a "pecking order" between them and in such a case the highest ranking wolf would decide the kill. Possibly...
That is problematic... What the wolves have going for them is their ability to communicate, and to have that taken away is very detrimental. On the other hand, setting up something in advance can help. Not a pecking order per se, but a means for them to decide. Perhaps a vote? Each wolf sends you their choice, (or maybe two, depending on village size) and the person/people with the most votes die. In case of a tie, role a dice.

That way each wolf's voice is heard and no one feels put out.

EDIT: of course, this is only if all of the wolves are unable to talk at night. If we have two wolves and they're both NG, there wouldn't be a problem for ex. Or no wolf has a voted upon role. But then, how many wolves should be out of contact before this takes effect? If we have 4 wolves, two are NG's and two have no special role, then do they vote? Or then do the two normal wolves decide? what if 2 wolves are out of contact and one wolf is just normal?
