What I do when death is inevitable is usually accept it, vote for myself, and ask the host if I can be let in on the info so I can watch the game from a clearer POV since I know what actually goes on. Usually if the host trusts you it becomes a very fun experience to watch knowing roles. Part of why I like hosting, to see what people do. I would love to co host a future game, writing a few roles and watching the game. Maybe Matt can let me do that for his next game.
To me suiciding simply represents the last choice you have in the game - it's the same thing as voting for yourself, in essence. In flavor, it's tantamount to your character putting a gun to their head and saying "NO MORE!" before blowing their brains out. For me, it was (at least intended to be, at first) my way of saying "Ok, I'll die, but not by your hands damnit." When surrounded on all sides with naught but a single bullet, what else is one to do?
