Ooookay...You lose now, Steel. If I die, then this WHOLE THING CRASHES DOWN. The only way to win is by joining me and waiting for the townies to decide.
I lose anyway. Really, of the two choices, this way I go down in a good way. Besides, without me, you don't stand a chance. If the mafia aren't winning, the townies are. Evil doesn't work well in a group. As you so elequantly put it: This game is about betrayal.
