I mean, there's a very real risk of getting killed tonight even if we do execute. It's hardly giving up to make the...
Actually, that argument makes even...
okay holy fuck I spotted a perverse incentive there.
Because basically, if "I don't want to get killed so I want to execute someone", is your argument, it's actually in your second best interest in a low-visibility scenario, like this one, to execute a known innocent deliberately because then the killer will be like "ha you're worth keeping alive for a bit longer".
Anyway, that argument is silly. If you have an actual suspect, vote for them, but if you don't actually have any ideas, we can wait for tomorrow and either the killer will conveniently fall off a building and die or they'll leave enough evidence to get caught. We're in a very good position and can afford a skip more than we can afford a bad execution. Anyway, if nothing happens for another 20ish hours, no one gets executed anyway.
