Though my method only requires one line of input in Mathematica to solve and can take any number of players or any desired word count. Am I competitive? .... maybe

    Also, if we want to get REAL complex, we can run simulations to determine the general expected outcome on the exact day the game would end and run our calculations using that as our end round, instead of assuming the highly unlikely case that the game goes to the very last villager/wolf. In any case, our figured word count per player per day of about 450-500 words is likely going to go up... for instance, if the game ends Round 7 (which is way more likely than Round 15), word count goes up to 3479ish per round or 696 per day.
