I was thinking 13-3-3 before the game started also, though the rules mention other possibilities:

I don't know if that means a possible neutral role? So for argument's sake I'll say it's something like 12-3-3-1. If we go forward with Lathum's plan:

Pro: We would make more money than the mafia would today and have more to spend on roles.
Con: We lose a day of voting since it'll be a landslide like none ever seen on day 1. I'm not sure how valuable voting record will be in this game though, since we have groups of wolves that will happily vote for other wolves. We also lose a villager when we have a lot of mafia we have to knock off before we can win.
