Since this comes up, you can not have a game that is just town vs cult. The DFs achieve victory by killing people off, a cult by conversion. A DF kills a townie, a cult gets more by conversion, they turn someone into a lynch voter for them too, while keeping their effective NK by conversion. A cult therefore only is viable with a DF element, since cults lose the converter when they nominate a DF unknowingly for conversion.

You also have potential defections in cult vs town. Essentially, unless you got the cult in embryo, their victory is an absolute thing.

Example:

Day 1 has 12 players, 1 cult leader and 11 townies. A townie is lynched and someone converted on the first day, now 11-1 is 9-2, day 2 probably ends with a townie lynch, 7-3, the cult now has a powerful vote ability, ensuring a high prob of another townie lynch, day 4 begins 5-4, a lynch of a cult member is still unlikely, but would make day 5 begin 4-4, victory, barring that 3-5, cult victory again.

So unless we have a number of roles designed to combat cults, we can not possible have a cult vs crew without DF option, and those anti-cult roles have done us no favors by failing to alert us to the option formally.

Since the option of a cult only comes up to explain the lack of a NK, as opposed to cult and DF, we can dismiss this option.

Now, this whole mess is started up by nobody dying last night. This is silly. There are any number of reasons, forgetting my own evidence on the matter, to explain why nobody died.

1. Someone was docced and attacked, unlikely but not flat-random unlikely, the doc and the DFs are more likely to target higher profile players, bringing the odds of this occuring down to realistic values. Much better than the 1 in 14/15 the doc had of picking the right person randomly, or 1 in 15 if they could target themself. Atleast 1 in 10, maybe 1 in 3 or 4, pretty realistic really.

2. A roleblocker, that our RB's have tended to be DFs doesn't change the fact that RBs can and often are town. The odds off this are lower than the doc-NK scenario since the DF attacker is as likely, more likely even, to be a more obscure player. When I am a DF I have others do the killing because I consider myself likely to be tracked, it also isn't unusual for the actual killer to be killed in the attack or identified, so our high-profile (i.e. the notorious strategists) will avoid making the kill themselves, no point losing your principal tactician if things go bad. So the RB option is a lower chance, but not too low, a townie RB had a 1 in 14 odd of blocking an attack last night. hardly ridicolous.

3. A bulletproof vest. We have seen this role, had a mor eprominent player had this role as a one-shot, they might well employ it on night 1, figuring that assassins are most likely to go for them in the general day 1 randomness, which usually involves the assassination of the more senior players.

4. Inability to NK. The DFs might not be able to NK on night 1, this isn't very common, but also not rare either. IIRC in game 8 the vig and mafia don both had one-shot NK ability that could not be used on night 1.

I repeat my original comment by the way, I was acted on, it was interrupted. The nature of the action is unknown to me. It could have been a cult conversion, but I sincerely doubt that. Don't bother asking me about my own role or lack there of, by the way, I won't answer that under these circumstances, considering it a bad idea, unless I felt lynch-threatened and a lynch of me today is highly unliklely. I'd advise people not to speculate about it either.

With that out of the way, we have a pair of votes on the table, and a number of players who have been silent, I ask again for everyone to speak up, and not just and empty "I'm here" before you get modkilled, frankly I'm very suspicious of the people being silent too. Besides the fact that participation is expected in this game, your silence is anti-town.
