I disagree - Gil is something like a known innocent (or then a known bastard), so how would it profit a wolf to have him around? Wouldn't a wolf be keen on getting rid of him, as he is a number on the village's side and besides if the village spends a Day in lynching Gil the wolf gains one additional Day of not being in danger of getting lynched and also the certainty of one more Night.

As you might have guessed from that, I don't think we should lynch Gil. I don't think anyone seriously considers the possibility of him being our last wolf, so why waste one of our last Days to lynch someone like him when we could actually try and get the wolf caught? Deciding to lynch Gil gives the wolf a free pass through a very critical Day, and I think that is a bit foolish, really. Why not at least try? If we lynch Gil, we have (most probably) lost one innocent. If we lynch someone else, we lose either an innocent or the wolf. From that angle, it is much more reasonable to do a real lynch, so to say. Besides, Gil's death doesn't help us toMorrow, it gives us nothing more to go on with.
