it’s probably easy for them to change it so that people can sign up privately, or so that sign ups have a random chance to fail, or so that there’s a limited time window before sign ups close, or whatever other mechanic they feel is necessary
just, to me, that’s not MY business. Not my job to speculate about how they might change the rules. my analysis of the actual game rules that are actually in front of me is that it is strategically optimal for town to coordinate event signups and prevent wolves signing up, and so I want to play that way until the situation changes
