housenuts: i am villager/saint
irtm: i am villager/saint
don: i am tracker/saint
hardcore: i am villager/saint
wolves.....hmmmm what should we claim?
gad: i am villager/saint
jay: i am villager/saint
ok, well now we know 5 people have claimed villager/saint and it's only possible for there to be 3 villa+1 saint so someone of that group is lying.
we know don is tracker, because saint doesn't claim saint + role other than villager.
so Don can look either left or right and provide info. villagers can all make Don ringleader.
all wolves know now is that Don is not saint. So they have an increased chance of finding saint, but both of them need to be on the same page, and that's difficult.
that's just one example.
this will trivially always happen anyway
the gamestate hasn't changed
your point might be more valid in a game with more villa power roles and thus a narrower slice of the player pool that the wolves have to fit themselves into by claiming villager, but here it just seems like churn
i feel like i'm missing something
(and i do think that house is taking a different tack here than he has in previous games, but since he's been non-villa in all of them -- right? -- he has to feel like he should switch it up regardless)
