What’re you guys thinking about **Telcontar**. I’m starting to think maybe he’s not a wolf. Unless this is all some elaborate conspiracy.

That role is _incredibly_ valuable to the Werewolves. The only reason for a Werewolf to vote for a Godfather type like that is in the late game to gain huge amounts of cred (for doing something that Werewolves would never do). But it wasn’t late enough to risk that.
