I'm going to go ahead and assume competent enough play that the wolves sent in a kill PM both nights. 0 deaths and 1 death during the night really don't point to a vigi being in the game, but it does point to some form of guardian.

Quick role elimination: seer
I'm going to wager that we don't have a seer, since we have a greenmaster and having both would both be awkward, and give the humans a huge advantage (dependent on rng).

Based on last game's roll, we'll have equal Human PRs as wolf PRs. Last game had an interesting turnout where colour PRs were basically mirrored between teams. I don't think that's a pattern to look for so much as a basis for balancing teams.

seer/freeze - grey
vigi/sabo - red
guard/mw - green
Pink ranger/chaos - pink/(choose)

I'll take a moment here to say that, if you're a human PR and you claimed VT, fix that shit right now. We can theorycraft the hell out of this game and every piece of meaningful data closes more holes.

What bothers me a lot right now is that greenmaster, pink ranger, adept guardian is a valid human PR team, and that it fits our current situation. However, including the pink ranger and greenmaster on the same team is a bit of a dick move as it fucks the greenmaster. Why? The greenmaster has two abilities:
-set up a green alliance by proxy where any green indirectly targeted is made aware of a confirmed human
-is notified if said green is no longer green.

Now let's quickly check the pink ranger's abilities:
-paints someone's adversary pink each night (3-shot)
-is informed if they stop flipping pink
-finds out how many wolves flip pink once they've three-shot

Pink ranger + greenmaster is literally a giant clusterfuck for the humans to try and decipher if they were ever put on a team together. Each role is somewhat designed to weed out whether a chaos wolf exists, although moreso with the greenmaster. I'll just hope that tokzic isn't that cruel.

It does seem like roles have been swapped around a bit, though.

So, what are our probable wolves? Doublecross(Xel), chaos, janitor(Xiz).
What are our probably PR humans? greenmaster, adept guardian(inD)

Why? Because I'm pretty sure Tokzic did some basic checks to make sure that there weren't any clearly broken strats, and this is a fairly balanced PR split. In addition, this setup allows for a lot of colour shenanigans that the wolves can use to help them without breaking anything. This setup doesn't have MW in it, but MW would be a dick move for humans in this setup in lieu of chaos.

The one other setup I'd consider right now would be doublecross, chaos, mw, greenmaster, ag, pink ranger. That would be colour hell, though. If that were so, I'd rather take a feel good shot in the dark every day than actually try analyzing colour for any value.

So it's almost 4am, and I think what I've said makes sense. Maybe it doesn't, but I have job fair round 2 at 10am tomorrow, so I'll deal with any fallout tomorrow when I get home. I will be present for EoD.
fuck i forgot about janitor, pink ranger is a useless role then
