Aha. Officer
She would walk around the officer.
Your saying that the Sk would be at a disadvantage because he is alone and can kill once? Isnt that what makes the Sk role so much more challenging but just as hard to capture? Plus this realization of yours: why is it relevant? Why should how hard this scum has it to win be relvant to us officers. Unless you sympathize with them? Do you officer? Do you?

It is challenging but the SK has the comfort of being uninformed, he doesn't have things like TMI. And SK's are often having some kind of tool that allows them to confirm as town. In this game it is the role who identifies cannibals. The SK can be identified as vig. Also he is RB immune.
Its just that mafia and SK should have the same killing power.
That's why having 2 equal mafia roles in a two man mafia is super balanced for mafia.
But imho this is resolved and we spin circles if we talk about this. Right now it is balanced. Mafia will quickly gain information and town will remain quite dumb. Town can turn this into their favour by being very inquisitive this game, especially in the D2/D3 switch which might be the core of the setup again.
