Ok, I see now. And that's what I accused RC for, the both of you believe it's not necessary, but for my plan, it is
completely
necessary if we're going by it.
Realistically speaking, he's probably getting nkd if he's town. If he's not getting nkd, that should even raise more suspicion on him being scum. With him leading town like he is, he presents a threat to scum. The whole idea of my plan revolved around RC staying alive, which would raise his percentage of being scum.
If mafia wanted to play mind games with us and keep him alive, that's why we'd need to shoot him, to confirm he is indeed town and not mafia. It's not wasting a shot, we're letting the strongest town pick 2 people that should go to AP.
