Here is what I don't like about the meta argument exculpating me:
I wasn't holding the game to ransom, until I was the last player to arrive. I think it would be perfectly fine for the wolves to game the meta in that way. The game can't really continue until all the villagers have turned up, so make it so that one of the wolves turns up in the last wave. Calibrate it off the villager arrivals.
I don't think it would be a nasty or underhanded thing for the wolves to do. They would in fact be protecting the game from meta arguments. Anybody who has taken me off their suspect list for that reason, bear in mind that I think this. I'd like to not be a suspect for rather less shaky meta reasons.
