Using kill roles early is not a good idea, and never has been. It’s reckless, naive and why I always consider vigs a benefit for mafia.
You say I’m “firmly in PoE”; but it’s Day 2 with no scum caught and there’s been no mech clears or obvious town roles claimed; everyone should be in PoE to some extent. Your most recent comment is that I could “go either way”, but that should apply to nearly every player in the game.
There’s also a contingent of players who are suggesting I use my duel pronto and then they will decide after whether they lynch me, without suggesting any actual targets - which reeks of potential hindsight heroism to mislynch me for.
Also since your vote counts as two, then from the non-towns in my town read list which player would you most like me to duel?
