sonds weird.  would the werewolves know who he was?  would he know who 
the werewolves are?

sounds like he's a non voting, non getting counted in the score werewolf.

"choose one of the two nominees for lynching?"   huh?

i like this idea ... and would encourage hamster to be implemented    
he'd be very powerful in a villager -vs- wolves -vs- mafia game as he'd
