Is this you still in character, or are you just spreading panic about schemes that haven't happened yet? The Phantom is not playing, remember.

If it's the first to be tied, they can spread their votes as they like and the first innocent will still be eliminated.
So are you saying that it's safer to do wolf-on-wolf votes in that scenario, because the first innocent got 3 votes first? Except that the wolf has to guarantee that he is the last one voting, otherwise suddenly his wolf-on-wolf vote can actually tip the balance of votes in favour of his packmate. So I still don't get what the wolf advantage is. Unless it's that if a wolf is spotted late in the Day when someone else already got a bunch of votes, there is theoretically more chances of them surviving till the next Day. Is that what you're getting at?

Ah, gotcha. That kind of makes sense.

Speaking of the Cuties, what was the final ruling on when their vote comes in?


ETA: yeeeek! We're just over 2 hours in, and on the second page already!
