Mayor is only one out of a slew of confirmable town roles... I gave a partial list earlier (Escort/Trans/Vet/Vig/Jailor) but you can also add Ret and Medium to that. So Mayor is one of 8 – maybe even more – roles that are confirmable. Yes it has more votes than any of the aforementioned roles, but Mayor can't kill (like Jailor, Vet, or Vig) stop mafia from killing (Escort) revive/talk to the dead (Ret and Medium) or cause the mafia to kill each other (Transporter).

So Doc is unable to protect 1 out of a possible 9 confirmable roles, and that 1 role isn't even that powerful in certain aspects! True, BG gets majority vote advantage, but so does Doc. And Doc is more reliable than BG, so...

B) It's optional to protect the Mayor. If the TPr hasn't been confirmed, this applies to both roles.

Both of your arguments were null, they're either in BG's favour or apply to both roles.

Now, tell me how it's a nerfed Doc. Only one protection.

@Anyone who needs to argue against something, scroll up to my big(ger) post about BG and Doc. Argue against that.
