Therefore, I don't really want to see Abe in a runoff. Either we just lynch him or we look for a race between others today.

There's one thing I don't follow here. If Abe is a villager and we all pile on to lynch him, doesn't that completely waste the day's voting? (and show that we may not be able to take a lot from day 1) Whereas if Abe is a villager, ends up getting lynched in a close race, and we have a run-off with an unknown who may be a wolf, wouldn't that at least be better for future days?

I don't understand the idea of piling on Abe. The fact is we don't know for sure if he is a wolf or villager. In the event that he ends up being a villager and gets lynched, I would rather at least have a chance to take something from the voting today.
