No Lynch

[Thoth]

I've now had several games that came close to an endgame with 2 scum of different groups left alive. These (sometimes theoretical) situations I find quite interesting as well (as most are basically game theory problems).
One of these was in Mafia 15 with one townie and 2 scum left. It looks like the townie should try to achieve a no lynch to let the 2 remaining scum kill each other at night. I actually wondered why MeMe did not try that. Of course she turned out to be one of the remaining scum so that explained it.
Another interesting one which I've not yet seen is with 2 townies and 2 scum left. It looks to me like the best play for the town is to lynch a townie and hope the remaining 2 scum kill each other at night.
