There’s also this from DemonTree:

I don’t think that storyteller0910 has yet said anything about his name.

Oh, and in the unlikely event that, somehow, everyone ended up dead, that would satisfy the Town win condition (no Villains alive), but would not satisfy the Villain win condition (if everyone’s dead, there’s no vote to control).

You should see the notes I keep in these games, sometimes. If anyone but me ever runs one again, at a time when I have time to actually play.
