That's not how it works. You lynch people based on filling up rolespace. You force people to claim with confirmed townies. Confirmed Townies are some of the most powerful tools in the game because filling up rolespace is important in this game. And it's really silly how you can say it's "not important" and that they will be "picked off by the mafia". It doesn't just buy the town one more day, it gives you basically a Mayor with a (usually) night ability. The reason why Mayor is powerful is because it can confirm itself and ask for roles and lynch as it pleases. This is the same as a Retri+Revived Target combo. Can confirm tons of players, very useful.

Saying Confirmed Townies are useless is like saying "Jailor is bad because Mafia will just kill him".

There's ways to work around it. Good town+Retri=auto win.
