DAY ONEs are just bad all the way around.
Your proposed plan lends credence to your presumed innocence, but I will not completely leave off questioning you, good sir. Um, it's hanged, not hung, by the way, my good man. To, shall we say, unpack my plan, there being 12 innocents and only 3 wolves, the innocents will out-vote the innocents in choosing the proposed leader; on the other hand, the wolves could hide amongst these votes as easily as those cast for lynching. But it does have the benefit of giving us two voting sessions per Day instead of just one, providing twice as much evidence per Day.
