I would not put it past wolves to briefly entertain voting a partner and then pull off if they think the wagon will gain traction
It’ll be a different story if they get stuck unintentionally bussing, but everyone’s attitude today has pretty much been “lol I will vote this player because idk” and there’s like no fucking reasoning other than narrowing of PoE, but it hasn’t narrowed, it’s gotten wider. Wolves can hide behind this justification the same as town can legitimately state it.
