A noisy night. I'm happy we caught a wolf, but obviously chastened.
I'm understandably going to get some heat for my defense of thestick, so let me explain my mindset. I've spent the last three games as a wolf watching the village shoot themselves in the foot day 1. I mentioned this in the lurker thread at the end of last game and Rowain commented that it was a lot easier with a cheat sheet. Having saved thestick from a mislynch last game was prominent in my mind. Funny that I've defended him cross alignment two games in a row now...
Ultimately, I was on a mission to make sure we didn't make a stupid mislynch of an easy target on Day 1, and I thought the argument against thestick was pretty weak. I still think it was, up until his reaction at the very end of the day. As I said in my Gaspar argument little tells matter on Day 1, but I didn't even see the case against thestick until Serdoa broke it down for me. Fortunately this game I don't have a cheat sheet.
So, yeah, time to reevaluate everything. One thing I think we should keep in mind is that it's possible that thestick was bussed. However, I don't think we should care about this at all for at least a few days. If we follow our thestick leads and they don't pan out it's important to have it there in the back of our minds; the villagers that would be willing to radically pivot are likely gone by that point.
