Because the whole point of mafia, if you are on the mafia team, is to make townspeople kill each other off and take advantage of their lack of knowledge.
Even if we went along with MITO and lynched Tennis and he came up as innocent, he still has the get out clause that his info is only 66% accurate and it means even if we go for Tennis we might actually learn nothing. If we go for MITO its 100% we learn if he's telling the truth and we get the go ahead to go for Tennis, and if he's mafia then we know to look for people like you who have defended him despite Valley's investigation.
you honestly cannot see my apprehension about this? You don't think it odd that no one challenged him on being the drunk?
That the real drunk would sit back, getting reports, saying nothing, and let MITO run us in circles all in silence?
The only explanation for that is if the real drunk is inactive.....and MITO wouldnt have known that....so claiming to be the drunk was a ballsy move.
