Bad Apple Mafia - Mafia Victory

Unless you are thinking of lynching the doctor, I don't see why we should ask him to come out. That would only invite the Mafia to kill him, or one of the cops. If our 3 most important roles are out in the open, it would only be a short matter of time before the Mafia eliminates them. And if they get the doctor, the cops will die shortly afterwards.

But I do agree, we should probably decide if inactives are important or not. If we kill them off, we could possibly get a mafia member that has been staying silent, worst case we kill off a townapple that was not contributing.

The problem with asking the doctor to come out is that an inactive could claim to be a doctor and was staying silent to avoid the mafia looking at them. We can't really prove a doctor, unlike a cop. Claiming to be the doctor gives immunity to lynching, but if a mafia member claims it first it would be harder to prove. At least in the cops case, you can lynch and see if he was right.

I maintain that inactives are not important right now. There is absolutely no chance that there's only one mafia member left, and the only major inactive is TheBirds. It's illogical to vote for him, because we have other people who are far more suspicious and our first inactive lynch did absolutely nothing productive. The more innocents we lynch the more likely we will lose. Eventually mafia will reach majority, and we're already down 3 people. I have no idea how many people the mafia have, but we need to consider avoiding lynching people off of inactive claims because that just makes it easier to hit a majority on mafia side. Even though TheBirds isn't contributing anything verbally, as long as he is innocent he reduces the chances of a majority win for the mafia.

I also don't think the doctor should role claim at all unless they have a large majority vote with less than 12 hours left. The doctor cannot protect themself, and as a result them roleclaiming will get them killed. There is absolutely no reason for the doctor to roleclaim without being voted for.
