Mafia 87. At the Dawn of War

Well, I'm a maniac! How can I decide for the whole town? :) I'm a bit out there, so don't pay attention.

Assuming Nefela is a maniac and Haynes is ginger, I suggest the following: Malcolm Eisen redirects Haynes to Nefela. If Haynes goes to kill, the maniac loses one protection, and the town loses one corpse. If, after reading this and thinking, Haynes doesn't go to kill, then a novice goes instead.

Simple arithmetic. According to my table, the maniac is currently at 0. To stay at 0 and not lose protection from 1 attack and from execution, he needs to either not kill and do something from his pile of neutral roles in the range of +/- 1-2, or kill and raise someone. In the middle of the game, a non-killing maniac is a faux pas. That is, the maniac will kill. He can only compensate for the killing by raising someone. If the maniac raises Haynes, she will kill someone, and there is no way to block or redirect her. The same goes for the maniac. I assume that the Guardian will also kill. The maniac currently has 2 full protections, and the Ginger and the Guardian have 50% each. Considering the peculiarity of the Novice, I don't see much point in shooting Rienne. If the AFK/cowardly Jacob is still alive, he has protection, but then the town can only defend itself. The maniac has a very interesting random outcome - 2 shots, and both at the mafia. But there is also little point in relying on him, because it is better for him to continue hitting the town, since we currently have a situation of 5/1/2/1. A good option would be to eliminate either the mafia from the first team or the maniac now. But we won't hang the maniac on the first try. And considering the experience of previous days, we won't hang anyone at all. If we take into account that we have no protection, except for traps, and there is 1 healing, I suggest Malcolm figure out who might be Rienne or Ellen and buff them. Although, no, if Rienne is alive, she has only 2 mana points left, and today she will either restore them or check, and the latter is also pointless. That is, Malcolm should still look for Ellen. Ellen needs to think about who to save tonight. I assume we still don't have a block. I want to draw attention to the Novice's neutral role.

Killing does not save the victim from healing.

Taking this into account, it seems to me that she will still kill, although I don't know... Well, honestly, I don't know what we should do tonight.
