Awaclus, you win with whatever faction wins, as long as you are alive. Is that correct?
Yes.
Given what I've been reading of your ethical code in RSP, I think this is very bad for town. You want us to believe you will ensure a town win, but what we know of your actual beliefs is that you'll do whatever it takes to ensure your own happiness (which, in the mafia game context, is winning).
How can we trust you to put the town's needs/wants/happiness ahead of yours, when you have stated the exact opposite as your way of life?

What? There are 1-2 scum left if awaclus really is survivor (which I think he is)... That puts us at 7-2 or 8-1... Town's looking really good here and he's picking the easiest way to find a win...... survivor!awaclus would definitely work for town here since it's his best chance of winning.

I'm obviously not going to put the town's needs ahead of mine. If I did, that would ruin the game for everyone. You are not supposed to trust that I kingmake town, you are supposed to ensure that playing towards town's needs/wants/happiness is also in my best interests.
But say we mislynch someone, and then one or more town get killed. All of a sudden, it's not in your best interest to help the town anymore, and you've got this possible lynchproof stopping town from taking you out.
It's a knife's edge you are standing on, and it's so easy for you to tip in scum's favor. This is why it is ALWAYS bad for town to let survivor's survive. It's also why scum NEVER kills survivors. They know they can just claim at the end, the survivor will join them, and they win.
A survivor is a free additional team member for scum.
Regardless of all else, lynching the survivor is the play that is in the best interest of the town.
This is assuming we don't get mail-mi's reads and assuming awaclus wouldn't use his powers to help us (even though it's in his interest)... if you are able to protect mail-mi and we lynch umbridge we know if awaclus is really a survivor or scum by tomorrow (both from flip and from mail-mi). And either way, it's still easiest for him to use his power just to help us. If umbridge is not scum, we lynch awaclus and still have mail-mi's results confirming is he's a survivor or if he's scum
You know who else wants to know if I can doctor mail-mi? Scum who want to kill mail-mi.
If you can doctor mail-mi, that knowledge isn't going to save scum.
It'll tell them who they should try to shoot.
It doesn't matter who they shoot, as long as it isn't mail-mi.
So do they take the chance of wasting a nightkill by shooting at mail-mi, unsure if I'm doctoring or not? Of course not.
But if they do, that's good for us. Unless I can't doctor, right? But they don't know.
They ought to just shoot me, though.
Definitely agree with this though. You shouldn't claim this. I still think the plan works without this claim.
