Mafia 112. Pirates of the HW Sea

I also don't understand the logic here... So you get a "pirate," and what? I would definitely use a block in this situation.

But what does a block give you? Block a Mirka who is going to heal another Mirka? Or block a defender? They have a better chance of saving another Mirka with their action than I do of hitting the Mafia with a block. And the block of the same defender also hurts his Mafia, great move, yeah. And blocking the investigator deprives him of information, which he doesn't have much of anyway. Also a great move. No, if I have a choice between a block and a check, and I don't even have a rough idea who the negative is, then I will choose a check.
