I'd like for Deimos to actually have an opportunity to say something before he's lynched within the span of a few hours.

UNVOTE:
"This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent." In re Davis, 557 U.S. 952, 955 (2009) (Scalia, J., dissenting).

Playing to a draw isn't playing to your win condition. I'm a little irked by the presence of the feature in this game but I would rather lose then draw

If you draw, you did not win. If you lose, you did not win.

Draw means "both sides lose".
It doesn't mean "both sides win".
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

Assuming without deciding there's anything desirable about a draw, the ninth rule of the site says you're not allowed to pursue it since it disables your win condition.

Mafia is "guess what win condition everyone is playing to" so not playing to it makes it as fundamentally unplayable as Mario brothers with no jump button
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

i don't feel like arguing the nuances of a rule such as what "playing to win condition" means. I used to prosecute players for Playing against win condition when I was a moderator so many moons ago.

but ill just summarize what "play to win condition" has always meant for those who actually punished players for not following the rule. We always looked to see if the person was intentionally trying to lose the game. A person who played sub-optimally doesn't count. A person playing to draw doesn't count.

I don't want a draw when I think I've solved the game.
