@Drain, it was surmised in N0:

> In addition, the number 37 is interesting. 37 is not 41. And 4 “Third party Roles”… seems about fair for a game this size. We could be looking at 14 Scum, 37 Townies, and 4 3rd Party Roles.

> Assuming 37 Town and that only town get lynched and NKed, with 3 kills per Night (Mafia, Wolves, Vig)

(Aside - Sario is playing this game???)  
And continued toDay:

> 36 bullet holes? The mayor had 37… of course, now we are down a townie.

Sachertorte and I doubted it had any meaning:

> Yes. It does seem like a statement that there are 36 Town roles. But the color doesn’t really make sense. Why would there be a bullet hole for each Town Player? I would make more sense that there is a bullet hole for each Mafia. It could be like a puzzle room or Myst where clues are just scattered about and don’t necessarily make logical sense, but it seems like a strange clue to give.
