Now I admit this is something I've thought of just after I finished my previous post, but the merging thing forced me to keep it stashed away in Notepad:
I believe what I'm proposing here is in fact very reasonable and beneficial to the town, and I find it rather fishy Robb refuses to accept that.
The key here is my preferring to lynch Ghost rather than Robb. The rationale behind that is simple: Ghost claims she can 100% vouchsafe for Robb, Robb can't do the same for her. If they have been telling the truth the whole time, this means that if we lynch Ghost and she flips town, Robb is almost certainly town as well. Narrowing our list of suspects down by two people while still keeping one town vote in the game. That is one of the better outcomes you can expect in this game.
Now if Robb were town, his trying to prevent a mislynch would be perfectly correct play. Mislynches are bad for town, no denying that. However, a lynch of his mason partner he can't be 100% sure about which also happens to clear him as town at the same time, that is a trade he should be willing to take. And I'm finding it odd he doesn't.
Now to GoJays, whose reaction I find on the whole very reasonable:
Ask yourself: why would they do that? At this point, confirmed permanent doublevoter roosh is more attractive. Even the chance of hitting a power role with a semi-random nightkill is more attractive. A mason without a partner is for all intents and purposes just another vanilla townie. Not to mention the fact that we're looking at 5v3 after any mislynch. Unless the mafia nightkill one of their own, but that's not paticularly likely.
