Wow, people really won't believe anything until someone dies.
Alright, so if I can't be trusted, that means I was part of a mafia plot to kill one of our one and hope, because that's all they could do, hope that the medic would protect the fellow mafian we wanted to kill. It has a 14/15 chance of failure and failure means you've been put at such a massive disadvantage from the outset, while success would maybe get you the names of the detective and medic.
Which still wouldn't make up for the fact that you lost a mafian so early on. I mean even in the last game where both the detective and medic died on the very first day, pro-town still won.
But for some reason, the above seems to make perfect sense for people.
