For some reason, people seem to have this idea that if the jailor dies early in ranked practice and similar modes that has it, that town basically has lost which, isn't the case at all. Yes, it can mean the mafia or whoever will wins but town is overpowered, it doesn't always need the jailor to win. I've seen plenty of games where the jailor dies and the town still wins for other reasons. It is an important role, don't get me wrong but it isn't like anyone else can't do something that contributes to getting the evil roles out of the town. I've been in plenty of games where the jailor dies early and maf still loses, as jailor and as various roles.
Anyways, I've posted this because this misconception bothers me and I just wanted to clear it up.
