Doesn't matter if you think you've won, treat it as if the game's still going and you could lose.
Inverse is also true; doesn't matter if you think you've lost, treat it as if it's still winnable and fight to the bitter end.
Is one of the main reasons effort != alignment for me; provided real-life constraints don't get in the way (which they often do, especially since my timezone clashes with most scummers so I'm not around to defend myself against being hammered at crucial times), I never give up so I'll always put in the requisite effort--and then some.
I recently refused to end a game when mafia reached majority, because the wincon "kill everyone else" has not been met. While a massclaim had occured guaranteeing a successful kill, I wanted to leave open the possibility that the townies were lying in the massclaim.
