Werewolf LXXXIII: The Nightmare on the East Road

We would have more to go on if we had a cold, dead wolf-kill. At Night 2 in the game, it's arguably more valuable for the village to lose an ordo and gain some concrete evidence than to go kill-less. Obviously, this will vary depending on the situation--for example, in the case of a Ranger-save, at least the Ranger knows who one innocent is, and can do some digging accordingly... but the only people in THIS situation who now know more than they did yesterDay are the BW and the Wolves... none of whom are on the village's side.

You're right there - finding some of the wolves could point us to Barry, finding Barry could point us to the wolves, but at the moment we know neither, so we can't really draw any helpful conclusions from the Night-kill (Shasta has tried to, but his theory doesn't look too promising).
So what do we know?
I still think the wolves will want to keep Barry around for a while, but get rid of xem before xe becomes too much of a nuisance. (In the end, of course, they won't care whether they lose to xem or the village.)
Barry will only gain xer killing power, and be able to win, once the wolves are all gone. So xe has to lie low for now, avoid to get lynched, and might even help us to get rid of them first.
We (the village) want to get rid of all of them, and we certainly don't want Barry to gain xer killing powers. (That's why I'm still wary of Lottie for suggesting we don't lynch Barry in the (unlikely) case that we get a chance to do so; but I'll probably return her courtesy and not vote her toDay in her absence.)
At the moment I don't really have a clue what to conclude from all of this, but it's food for thought.
