FWIW, Elsa, you should be looking at it this way. As it is, you're a slot that is low accountability and low EV. Functionally, by leashing yourself to the majority you simply give every player in the game the hated modifier, fucking with VCA and such. Not only is that proving yourself completely useless, but the optimal play there is simply to coast until LYLO and vote with the scum, meaning we can't leave you alive until LYLO. By claiming, you have literally guaranteed you have to be lynched before the endgame if town is losing. You can't win with scum now, it simply doesn't work.
OTOH, you could choose to townside, in which case your best chance of survival is to aim to protect town power and lynch scum. (The same goal as a town doctor, actually.) In this case, your best bet at survival is to lynch all of the scum as fast as humanly possible, ending the game before they can kill you. Which, coincidentally is also my goal. So I'd like to offer you this chance to join the Serenity's crew in random acts of Chaotic Good piracy.
