So... I'm wondering when a Thin pack is going to show up...
2,2,2,2,2xsilver,1xsleeper,10? (or 2,2,2,2,2xsilver,2xsleeper,9, but I'm all nicely hung up on there being exactly 10 villagers)
Gratifying to see that the most likely reason for my death was a suspicion about game set-up I'd actually completely discounted by that point 
Also, Bigger is fairly obviously an alpha.

This was WAYYYYY before we ever had revealed to us that there were 2/pack with 3 packs instead of 2 packs of 3 which was the assumption at the time. Basically, Mattimeo really slipped up there.
Lewwyn, are we allowed to lynch like, 3 people?

other than confirming at least 1 other person as innocent - do mason pairs have much value? I mean -- in practical terms, have they been put to good use on any of the WW games here at RB? I could see some interesting traps that might happen - i.e. put pressure on your partner, see who follows. I guess they get much stronger in the late game when each vote means more.
Interesting that we didn't see Meiz come rush to defend anyone yet. Guessing that his mason pair is one of the inactives. Although he did defend Injera a little bit... hmm...
Also would have be interesting to see sleepers as masons - you know you partner is innocent at the start of the game -- but that could change.

Hi!
I'm not even half way through the lurker thread and I see teh setup is more crazy than I thought.
Waterbat's pack had 3 wolves? The heck? If we have 3x3 packs, this game is too crazy. I think I'll hold my comments until the setup is clear (end of the game).
Again, I never manage to lynch who I want... 
Maybe the packs have 3 - 2 - 1 members... That'd be fun...

Well, it was fun, but being a vanilla villager in such a setup sucks. Everyone is playing the "very crazy game X" and you are playing the "what will happen next game Y". Every night I had to reshuffle all my thoughts due to new information. And when it seemed to be over, there was even more.
3 packs, sleepers, silverbloods, masons... all this players have different objectives that I was not aware at the start of the game. So, the vanilla villagers are in a terrible deficit of knowledge. This way, when we start to get the setup, everything turns into meta discussion. It's how post X relates to the meta, how player Y play make sense on the meta. And we don't hunt wolves at all...
If Waterbat pack has indeed 3 members, most of my thoghts in the thread can go to the trash can. Every comment is based on a setup assumption that ends up being more important than the actual content of the post.
I can see the wolves having a really good time here. But as a villager, it was like the setup was heavily against me. It's not exactly about balance, it's about feeling like a useless piece of nothing as a villager. How can I compete against 3 seer wolves, masons, players that know more things about the setup? I could say whatever I wanted in the thread, but it's obvious that the next lynches will be Zak and Bigger. And in the 48h I'd only have the setup to discuss. We now have masons, so let's rethink everything that happened to see how that would fit.
I'm also a bit disappointed about the missing players and the low amount of participation by certain players. How could I try to lynch the guys that don't comment? 1 more mislynch and we are down to almost no villagers at all, there's no way we can waste it...
Besides, I'm not really sure, but I think the village can end up losing in this game even if we lynch a wolf each day...
I have a bit more to say, but no time now. I'll continue later.
