I mean, it's just math and game theory, if we wait, scum get the initiative. We'd be abandoning the first-play advantage to skip the first vote. And Mafia does have first-play advantage. There's three ways this can go.
1: Execute, hit scum. Excellent, they're one down. There's probably two scum, maybe three. That's a loss of a half to a third of the team. They get one nightkill
2: Execute, hit innocent. There's more of us. We take less damage losing one and a second to the nightkill than the scum will take if they lose one member.
3: No execution. We lose one person to the nightkill and thus, may lose three town before one Mafia drops. That's enough to erase the advantage that we'd have even if we hit an innocent this round.
2: Execute, hit innocent. There's more of us. We take less damage losing one and a second to the nightkill than the scum will take if they lose one member.
I am the They who says it!
