There's another point of view this time around, though.
Out of a purely relational point of view, I want Soup to die. If Soup dies, I can expect me and No Hetero to get **** done.
If Handorin dies, then I wouldn't mind, I had him down as a good alternative, but No Hetero disagrees. It creates less direction (ESPECIALLY tomorrow) and more *****ing.
Mafia has an unlimited amount of variables, and this is one of them. It might not have to do with scum hunting, but it does have a lot to do with the game, the pace and the relationships, which in turn affect scumhunting.
That's just one of the reasons to have Soup dead, though.
