Not necessarily. I remember reading a mafia quicktopic after a game was over. They had chosen someone who was quiet but was on to them, and let the most investigative player live because he was going after townies so aggressively. They thought it would be benificial to let him live.
That's why I thought Cone protecting padib was a weird choice. They would have let padib live anyway, since he was directing town in the wrong direction. Regardless, Cone couldn't realistically have known that padib was wrong about me, so I let it go. In Cone's eyes, padib was now a confirmed townie, and therefore impossible to mislynch, and thus to him would be a target and needed protecting. Only spurge, with his experience in meta on VGC, guessed correctly and protected you last Nighht.
The point I'm trying to make is, I think you're overestimating the average player. Things are usually much simpler. Don't focus solely on what you would do. Think of what the average player would do.
