If we were talking about an actual **execution**, I would agree. But he wouldn't have stayed alive and would have likely focused on the mafia (redirecting + killing) at night. I don't think the town would have lost if the day had ended in a "pseudo-NNV" (no night, no vote). In any case, Fragment's father was ready to remove the execution protection. :)
You're wrong to think that you're somehow disadvantaged. Everyone plays against everyone else. Maintaining balance is not easy, but people in all teams are working on it; otherwise, they will lose.
