That is okay and still functionally serves its purpose. The nightkill in this case is functionally a town-driven elim.
I would even say this is expected if we choose to investigate Flea as I am not 100% mechanically clear, and neither is Hectic.

Short of throwing, I'm confident town wins.
i feel like i have to be missing something
the plan seems to be
if hectic or costello are mafia, town loses
if farkran or bugspray are mafia, flip a coin for who wins
hope ydrasse or flea are mafia, to avoid the other options
and this is a plan people are like, 'yeah this is good' about
To more directly answer your question regarding holes: Unless Farkran is both town and gets a guilty overnight, we should not expect a mechanical solution to the game.
There are many mechanical possibilities but only two are unambiguous: A hypothetical Day 3 Farkran guilty (He can't 1v1 w/ a miselim) or Flea mechanical clear.
There are interesting side questions like "Will bugspray die N4 or N5? What does Hectic's Body do?"

Can you suggest an alternative? It's not that we think this plan is foolproof: It's absolutely not, and this is why I've put a heavier emphasis on qualitative play.
We have 3 guesses for the mafia in 7 players. With 0 mech info, this nets us a 77.2% chance of winning the game w/ random selections.
The plan here actually nets 4 guesses by maximizing how we utilize Farkran's claimed power.
I mean, technically you have the flexibility to vote us out either today or tomorrow, but functionally they're equivalent, you're right.
I'm going to stop EV punching until I get off work and use real scratch paper because spitballing into Google Calculator without tracking what I'm doing does not work well.
And also while I have gotten sidetracked in the hypothetical........I've been focusing on qualitative work for a reason, we should expect no mechanical solution with what is on the table.
The issue with 937 is scum don't target Fark/bugspray N2. The only scum player who does this is you (Flea) to try and avoid mech autoloss, anyone else shoots me/Hectic/Flea.

yesyes i get it i should be doing this instead of whatever i'm typing just hasn't made sense to me
Mafia either holsters and gives Farkran more time, if bugspray doesn't protect its pretty much a scumclaim. If Farkran sees ELO he should be in there with players hes cleared.

I would encourage you to work this out on paper and see the result of "giving Farkran more time", assuming that you policyvote him in Elo.
