I see the point. Sorry to be so dumb as not to see that before. Well my second game also, as with Jenny.

I'm tempted to see your argument being valid and our chances good.

But what is the worst scenario? We find out three gifteds (and the wolf too finds them) - of which the ranger gets killed the next night and the seer will have one dream more, before being killed the next night. If we kill an innocent tonight, and the "dreamed one" being an innocent, and we don't get it right tomorrow, it comes down to:
tomorrow morning: seer, hunter + 4 villagers + 1 wolf
the day after tomorrow: hunter + 3 villagers + 1 wolf

Compared to our situation now:
This morning: 7 villagers, no roles known, hunces only + 1 wolf

I was just wondering, whether there is something like a very-very cunning plan that a wolf would be looking at?

You say:

Victory for the wolf is now impossible. What matters is the manner of our victory.
Well, it would be winning with real style to conquer the village from this point! I just look at the wolves as real cunning ones, sorry... probably I'm mistaken.

PS. Some nauseating RL stuff. I'm checking some exams right now and have some to do before going to sleep (11.15PM here now), and tomorrow is a tight one. I try to follow any action here for maybe an hour+ from now on. Then I may have time between 14-16PM (GMT) tomorrow and then, at earliest, an hour before the vote.

EDIT: added (and the wolf too...) to the "worst scenario" starting... + "Compared to this morning" lines...
