At a town hall meeting, a group of individuals gathers to discuss affairs of a fine city. The meeting goes as such meetings typically go, with many ideas raised, much support behind these ideas, and yet conflicting opinions on how to go about implementing the idea, until ultimately some different topic takes priority, shifting discussion and tabling the prior matter until the next meeting.
Usually, as it happens, the only thing the townsfolk actually end up implementing is the last thing to be discussed, frequently something which wasn't even placed on the initial agenda. Quite often, as a result of an aired grievance, shared by a small vocal portion of the citizenry, a change is made abruptly which affects the whole community and not simply those in attendance.
Such bureaucracy doesn't tend to work well, but it is all they really seem to have and it's better than nothing. "It's not the best system in the world, it's just the
only
system in the world" is the common mindset to these proceedings, and as a whole, people tend to simply accept the results for what they are: imperfect, but leading to significant changes to the community that should theoretically be for the better.
"Now, I know we could use some renovation to the town square, but the gallows there are a city treasure! We simply can't replace them."
"But we don't even
use
them anymore. They're a relic of the past."
"Hmph. If I had
my
way, we'd still be using them! Why, so many of our issues would be solved if we could just get rid of the troublesome individuals in our community the old-fashioned way!"
"If you had
your
way, old geezer, those 'troublesome individuals' would be everyone except for you."
"That's beside the point."
"While I might not go to the extremes of ol' gramps here, I share his sentiment. It's undeniable we have our issues, here, and I think we all know what they are."
"Yeah!"
"We should rid our city of dirty cri--"
"Wolves!"
"...Uh, I was talking ab--"
"YEAH! WOLVES!"
"Why, just the other day, I was taking a walk during the night. I saw a wolf prancing about, and I was so startled that I fell on my back! I broke my tailbone from that fall! If it weren't for those damned wolves, I'd be fine!"
"Would you believe the nerve? I saw some wolf assaulting a group of punks! I swear those sweet innocent kids couldn't have done any harm with what I'm pretty sure were just some utility knives, yet that monster was clearly attacking them!"
"And wouldn't you know it? I saw a wolf holding an old lady as she was walking down a street! That was obviously harassment!"
"That's nothing. I was driving my car down Main Street, cruising at a fine 60 mph, and a wolf out of NOWHERE appeared in front of me! I swear it musta jumped out deliberately, to force me to swerve and wreck my car!"
"Isn't the speed limit on Main Street thirty?"
"What? Everyone does it."
"...No argument there."
"You think that's bad? Well, I tell ya. I had one of my chickens disappear overnight, with nothing but a blood stain remaining. And you know what I found? Tracks, tracks through the chicken coop door! There's no way that could have been anything other than a wolf murdering my poor chicken!"
"I think we can all agree then...
"It is time to...
Lynch the Wolves
."
"...Where do we begin?"

Well Jingle was also a reviewer (just not a listed one) in that he gave his blessing on the setup so that can give you an idea of the lolbalance(less)ness involved.

Quick: There is little to no chance this slot is Power-Wolfing.
SR: I want to give him a day
Life is simply unfair, don't you think?
I read the post but did I understand wrong or the setup specs are a secret? I mean, there's no confirmation if it's a single or multiball if not for the flavor suggestion right? We don't have confirmation if there is third parties or not either right?
(Not that I necessarily am trying to get confirmations, just really asking if I understood everything right)

You understood correctly. There is no setup information confirmed beyond the information provided here:
- Lynching Werewolves, thus, all roles have more "werewolf" (rather than mafia) themed names/abilities.
Number of players
- 18
Are hydras allowed (Yes/No)
- Yes
Reviewers
- SirCakez, Ircher, and unofficially technically Jingle too
Reviewers agreed to FINAL version? (Yes/No)
- Explicitly so from SirCakez and Ircher, yes.
Is it possible your game has any of the following: cults, mid-game alignment changes, moderator lies that cannot be reasonably anticipated (for example, Godfather, Tailor, Miller, Ninja, and mechanics like that are generally fine. Telling someone they are a reflexive doctor when they're actually a PGO is not), secret win conditions, un-divulged non-randomness in player role/alignment generation, direct moderator influence during the game? (Yes/No)
- No. Game is explicitly non-bastard.
This is a fully closed setup. No roles, no information, no faction size, known in advance.
