We're really not all that close to losing, if you ask me. I bet there's only one mafia, maybe two left, tops.
I mean, there's eight people left, for crying out loud!
[M] Ma Chao - Mafia
[M] Lu Meng - Double Vote Townie
[M] Cao Cao - Emperor
[M] Xiahou Dun - not sure, earlier role claims leaves me uneasy
[M] Guan Yu - Cop
[M] Huang Gai - not sure but didn't seem to care when others were suspicious of him
[M] Meng Huo - probably vanilla
[M] Sima Yi - most likely town but I don't think he's merely vanilla
Anyway, let's say that I get lynched today, and I end up town. Seven players remain. Mafia kills another tonight, and oh, I don't know, let's say that a cult member also remains. So, that means there are two scums, one cult, and three town roles.
And the twon can still win.
But there probably isn't two of both left. :I
