OK. This so depends on who the Alpha is. A more experienced Alpha is going to choose a different type of team than a less experienced one. So let's look at it both ways.

Experienced Alpha. This is a guy who can come up with the kind of strategy he wants to play the game by, so doesn't need as much experience on his team. More likely to put a less experienced player on his side, as well as a middle tier guy.

Middle tier Alpha. Knows the game either from playing a bunch elsewhere or sporadically around here. Might be more likely to put one well-known wolf on his side, along with another middle tier or less experienced.

Newer Alpha. Will want to surround themself with players who can help advise on strategy. More likely to take experienced players.

Now, if I was Alpha I would want to take people who can drive discussion as a villager in order to both help steer speculation in a way that will benefit us, as well as be out there enough to avoid the dreaded UTR tag.

In order to go through the list of folks and figure out who that might be, I'm going to off the top of my head break us out into categories of: Better wolf than villager, good both ways, Better villager than wolf, and unknown. No offense meant by any of these in advance!

Better wolf than villager: Lathum, RendeR, ntndeacon, path12
Good both ways: Passacaglia, KWhit, jeheinz72
Better villager than wolf: PurdueBrad, Narcizo
Undecided where to place: Jackal, clapham, nfg22, mccollins, Sonic Youth, Eaglefan, ITC

The "good both ways" category is the most dangerous IMO. My vote is going there for today.
