I’m much more worried about wolves moving us away from a tie than into a tie. Sure, a no-lynch isn’t good, but it’s better than a mis-lynch. (I get that this is a debatable position, but that isn’t critical to my argument.)

There are three outcomes: mis-lynch, no-lynch, wolf-lynch. Wolves probably rank them in that order. If they engineered a no-lynch, that says to me they are trying to avoid a wolf-lynch.

Does anybody else read it differently?
