Like I said, interesting experiment no matter what
And I do hope you run another game, you have a knack for it. Get an alarm clock however.

SpwnX that reminds me, about your role:
I think the hero role is balanced in "most" games, if its expressed as "Wins by being part of a wolf lynch." The key is the ratio of wolves to villagers: 1:20 kind of sucks, because once you win, the village wins. Your victory depends on their victory, with an additional requirement on top.
If its 4:12, your odds are much better: you can easily win even if the rest of the village loses.
If we ever did another single-wolf game (!?), I'd probably recommend removing the Hero role.
Is Vike running the next one? I would expect that to be more "classic with a twist" than anything else.
Me! I won! I was right! *dances on yo graves*
And next time you make a "social experiment", it needs to be a bit, um, more clear. Y'know, like 1984 or something.

All I can think about is how many people I personally pushed hard to kill. I see their names when I try to sleep at night.
My hands...why are they red? Out, damned spot! Out I say! Will these hands never be clean??

I think hidden stuff in games can work, if done carefully. I appreciate that people didn't like my insanity mechanic, but that was never meant for people to be able to factor it into their strategy, it was meant to be out of their control.
In this case? Having the wolf have a perfect alibi, whilst having no way to counteract that alibi? No offence Cheese, but a game where you have to give the town hints in order for them to have any chance is pretty poorly designed. If the wolf is powerful, give the town the means to counteract that wolf if used correctly.

It's the fact that the hints were necessary that is the problem. The Town should be equipped with roles/abilities it needs to defeat the wolves without intercession by the GM.
This isn't a very well thought-out comment squid.
Even if you "guess" what's going on (and look back at the main thread: I specifically say that we might be dealing with a wolf-spy combo) you cannot do anything about it. As a logical individual you are forcibly constrained not to act on it because if you allow for that, you can allow for anything.
Maybe the wolf is Cheese. Maybe the wolf is me and I don't know it. Maybe the wolf is xTordX. Maybe the wolf is Dankey Kang. Who fucking knows; you can't work with "possible" hidden rules because it allows for absolutely anything.
In order to make that scenario work, you ultimately need to convince me that a reasonable number of people would have figured it out before, say, for example, me, Vikestep and Eruantien all working on it together.
Good fucking luck.

The only real hint was that you didn't expect it, and the only you really didn't expect to be a wolf was Gideon.
(And I think we all know that my comments are never well thought)
Technically the hint was "something I said recently was a hint."
And technically I said either eruantien or gideon as a winner would make me laugh. So even deciphered, it was a coin-flip.
(And understood regarding comments)
When given uncertainty, I'd like choices at least. (You don't know if X is Z, Y or W , not that X is simply unknown, because you can't do anything to find out what the heck X is. It is math and probabilistics being softly applied that makes this game interesting). Then you can sort out the possibilities as the game progresses (and X's job is to prevent you from solving that uncertainty).
