I have always viewed this game as a team game. If I die, I still root for my team
Even when I was the grumbling, insulting man from Dor-Lomin that said all the villagers deserve to die if I'm lynched...that was me just playing the part, I still wanted the wolves to go down. So, yes, I agree.

I think it's got a lot to do with sports, you want to be on the winning team.

You can die on the winning side but I don't think the dead player can really claim too much credit for the victory.
I would disagree here. Eomer was the first to die in the last game, but I think he deserved credit for being the hunter and bringing down Cailin the wolf with him. He died early, yet he contributed and helped the villagers greatly.

It does have a lot to do with a team game. Everyone's got to work together. The villagers I think especially, since they can't communicate except in the game, have to set aside whatever "grudges" and work together. Where the wolves who can PM with eachother are able to devise strategies and their plan of a attack. I think villagers have to do the same if they want to win. I don't think individualism is what gets villagers to win.

I'm reminded of WWIIX, with the agreed mass lynching of all the innocent villagers (except the two known innocents myself and Sauce), wo we could finally catch the Bear Gurthang. Surely, without all the villagers cooperation in the mass-lynching, who knows what would have happened.
