If they kill me then TL can confirm the player she blocked is town (assuming only one scum left). If there’s no kill well then we’ve almost certainly caught scum and we lynch them. If they kill pede or HM it’s unfortunate but it’ll still mean TL confirmed a town and we can try again the next Night if the game’s still ongoing. > > Did that make sense? Nope. This goes back to roadmaps again - if the scum thinks we’re certainly going to lynch whoever TL blocks if there’s no kill, then they won’t kill. I don’t think TL is important enough to us to lose you, AH. It’s your role to play, but I’d rather see you play chicken with the scum, and maybe force him/her to tag a mason or unconfirmed rather than risk knocking heads with you. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-day-night-nine/484169)._
