if i know i'm town, and i know that by dying i will make town lose a lynch on a better target, it's still bad
Also, everyone's opinion has the same "weight". Unless you have more vote power or something xd But you get my point. Like, I have 0 doubts that Ratchet is better player whether he's scum or town, but I'm not going sit and ignore concerns I have, because in case there's something behind it, I'm just sitting there wasting space waiting for my turn to get killed. And if I'm wrong and let's say I end up lynching townies only, I'll just hear some mad people in post game xd
