For your consideration...
OK, there is a LOT of details in the Night post. But I want to hone in on one detail and extrapolate a bit on it. It confirms one of my MAJOR assumptions from the start of the game but chose not to act on until now.
1) Team Black Hole has/had a pokemon.
EVIDENCE: Night 3 recap
In the morning everyone had found out that someone…or something had dragged the Pokémon’s dead body to the center of town. Everyone saw that PokeChampofPokeBeach was dead as a doorknob, a bullet drilled into his head, his arms up as if he had been trying to defend himself.
PokechampofPokebeach - Mr. Mime
You are an Evil Mr. Mime who was captured by Team Black Hole. You will do whatever it takes to help Cyrus. You will help Cyrus solve the puzzle and command the ultimate power.
You are a member of Team Black Hole with (MOUNTIN DEW IS THE BEST SODA EVER!!!!
You may communicate with them whenever you like via AIM, PM, E-mail, etc. to decide what you guys want to do.
You as a Mr. Mime have the ability to mimic anyone you want.
If you are targeted during the night by a role, you have a 50% chance of using reflect and reflecting the role back on to the person who used it on you (you benefit from any effects of the role).
Win Condition Team Black Hole Wins
2) There are AT LEAST two teams in the game: Team Black Hole and Team Galactic
EVIDENCE: Start of Day 1 post and overview story
from opening post said:
The two walked out of the room. Meanwhile, Team Galactic was currently at the Ruins of Origins, seeking classified secrets, secrets that Team Black Hole would need. Team Galactic currently had the mining town that lived nearby taken hostage. Their agents remained secretly hidden amongst the townspeople. They were not ordinary Team Galactic Agents either. They were the top commanders of Team Galactic. Some possessed skills that no other member possessed. They were a force to be reckoned with. The threat of being taken out from the inside scared many from taking action. No one noticed when SEVERAL PEOPLE who did not belong to Team Galactic sneaked in and became part of the town.
from Day 1 Post said:
37 people and Pokémon gathered around town center. Everyone knew what had to be done. Food and water would run low. There were too many people here, and the tablet said they must eliminate the good or bad people from the town to lower the walls and free them from this prison.
“I’ve got it!” someone yelled out, “WHO IS A MEMBER OF TEAM GALACTIC?” He yelled out to the crowd…
Surprisingly no one raised their hand…
These evidences support the idea that both Team Galactic and Black Hole are in the towns.
3) Absoltrainer likes patterns.
EVIDENCE: OK, this one is a stretch, but many roles from this game been recycled if players are to be believed. Togepi is dead is his happy-making. Sabrina is rumoured to be a recycled role if Diaz is actually another Seer (I"ll address this one another day since it's NOT my main thrust today). Also, the detective role again was played by a REAL detective and Ditto also seems to have made a reappearance in town. Suffice to say, he likes patterns.
4) Absoltrainer likes to borrow ideas from other OLDER Werewolf games.
EVIDENCE: In his first game, he borrowed the Eevee role from my first game (with my permission granted, but still) and the idea of multiple independents from Spoinkmaster's Stranded at Sea. More or spoinkmaster in a moment...
with these four things established, I put these three propositions forward:
1) There are OTHER teams in this game than just Team Galactic and Black Hole.
EVIDENCE: Again, from the opening post...
As the inhabitants, agents, and ex-Galactic members sat among the townspeople, plotting their individual plans, a large quake shook the area.
Note that this post DOES NOT SPECIFY that the agents are that of Galactic members; it only specifies that ex-Galactics are in the mix.
For me, this means that there are probably other agents in the game. Who has agents from the PKMN universe? Team Rocket, Aqua, and Magma. Yep, I think there are 4 indie groups. let's move on.
2) Each group has AT LEAST one pokemon.
EVIDENCE: Black Hole had a Mr. Mime (which is kinda an awkward pokemon, but w/e. it's role kinda explains it). Each other team probably has at least one iconic pokemon for their group. For Galactic, it could be any of their trainers pokemon but my guess is either a Honchcrow or Toxicroak. Aqua probably has a water-based pokemon, Magma a fire-based, and Rocket a poisoned based. Rocket's pokemon I have a strong guess, but I didn't play during RS so someone needs to fill in that gap.
3) Each team's pokemon has a similar ability.
With mr. mime having a 50% ability along with a team affiliation, I bet that this similar ability flows to other pokemon who are team aligned. Do we know anyone else who has a 50% ability? Why, yes we do!

Fine, thissss isssss my role.
Role: SSSSSensssse
--If i am targeted by a persssson with a non killing role, I have a 75% chance of avoiding it.
--If i am targeted by a perssssson or a wolf with a killing role, i have a 50% chance of avoiding the kill.
--If i am targeted by any role and sssstill live, i have a 25% chance of learning who targeted me and what role they usssssed.
Bolded is the important part. With him sensing with a 50% on an ability, my guess is this bug is really a Snake in disguise. Which means...

...welcome to your Team Rocket pet, an Ekans or Arbok.
Anyone else have insight on this they wanna put forward? I think this is a pretty solid assumption based on given information and our first solid lead of the game.
Also, I STILL haven't gotten a lot of posts claiming human or pokemon which tells me that NO ONE is wanting to be transparent about their roles in the game.
People, lack of transparency means either an Indie or Wolf win. Hands down. If we want a fighting chance at winning, we NEED to start posting some info about ourselves. Without role claiming.
...
...
I'll start: I am a human.
...
...
See, wasn't that easy? Let's try and get a list going with everyone on it. Anyone NOT on this list will be almost immediately up for lynching because of lack of transparency. Trust me, I'll make it bloody and terrible. "I'll see to that in court. But, if we kill Wadsworth, no one but the seven of us will know..."
(SIDE NOTE: If you know what move I just quoted, post another quote from the movie. You'll then become my new favorite person).
Let's get this discussion going. Anyone else want to micro-analyze something from tonight's recap? I think this is the best way to break down this mammoth post.
