We had no idea what kind of seer or bodyguard was out there which made our game cautious as well. I think the fact that both sides think they were so close to disaster suggests it might have been well balanced.

heh, from the PMs I received, I had a feeling the last 5 days both sides figured they were about to lose the game every day. I think there are things that I can improve before next time I do this game though, but it was kind of fun watching people so unsure of their team's status. The day the cowboys won, Lathum sent a PM almost admitting it was impossible for the cowboys to win.
One thing I liked about this game is I think you all (both the villagers and the cowboys) only scratched the surface on what clues were out there. Perhaps only 60% of the game was even fully recognized. There was alot happening every night, and many possible paths of investigation for people to pursue.
The biggest differences in this game were:
1) THe bodyguard getting lynched early
2) The sheriff locking up the seer with the brutal wolf.
3) Lathum avoiding disaster on 3 different days (day 1, day 3 and the day he revealed).
I think if those things went different, the village would have won a few days ago.
