Its possible it was done to avoid stall outs or afks holding back majorities, closest i found was on this page. I also am used to mafia being able to chose not to night kill, which in some scenarios can actually increase their odds of winning significantly. But if both sides start playing with that mindset, it can cause a complete stall out and no one ever dies.
" Some moderators will specify that eliminating is compulsive, thus they cannot No Eliminate. Frequently this is for balance reasons, or to break deadlocks (e.g. Happily Ever After situations) and thus force the game to have a definite ending."
dont pay attention, never seen someone vote no elim. Figured not voting was the equiv but i suppose a no elim majority would progress to night faster than time expiring.
that was essentially my day 1 argument I was just unaware that i needed to vote for no-elim, that we were unlikely to hit a non town with d1 vote, cop lives without being forced to role claim and we get an advantage potentially going into d2 voting.
you still get a vote so you're not a stump. Also no guarantee you're gonna get role blocked, if you played it right you coulda just made it look like wifom and even if you got RB'd posture to mafia like you're not really cop and talk like 'obviously I was role blocked so I can't report anything.'
I don't think you were put in such a bad situation, I actually would have not minded playing in your spot so I don't get why you had to be so defeatist about it from the start, I think you went into it with a bad mindset.
Idk why mafia wouldnt role block him with only two prs option 2 if Kkat doc read is strong going into n1 rb Kkat and nk lucky. I am sure there's a scenario where you consider it but it's easy enough to just send the rb till the game ends.
