Why would Arsonist do anything to help the Mafia?

NK's need to keep the sides evened out. There needs to be 2 Townies per 1.5 Mafia to win, so such as 4 Town against 3 Mafia+NK, so no votes can be done unless NK helps town out or both sides lynch NK. Mafia need NK alive so they can lynch NK later on while NK kills off Townies, vice versa for NK themselves.

​​​​​​​This is because if either side reaches majority, NK and Mafia are screwed over. Town will lynch anything evil, and Mafia need to keep themselves evened out with Town to prevent that. NK should be the deciding factor.

Let's say you have 4 town against 4 Mafia plus NK. NK is going to want to lynch Mafia at this point, then kill another Mafia the next night. This leaves 3 Town against 2 Mafia+NK, a 3v3.

NK needs to then lynch a Mafia, and kill a Townie along with Mafia killing a Townie. NK then wins as its a 1v1v1 and Town usually helps NK at this point.
