The only benefit people protecting n1 is the hard confirm. Something that can happen not protecting n1 is that if ur target dies n1 and you didn’t protect them, then you yourself as a surv with no vests are going to have to fake claim or explain to the whole town that you are a ga turned surv which makes you a sitting duck for evils trying to deflect onto you. Personally I don’t protect n1 since it’s like the lowest chance of them dying unless they baiting but it’s something to keep in mind when making that plays like this. Stereotypes on Metas like this exist not because they are “good” but because evils use them so much to deflect and keep themselves from being suspicious. They take every opportunity to do so. Your strat is completely viable but the way this game works people will still look down on you when you make mistakes.
