There is no way you could possibly have known vig would random shoot you so early. It makes way more sense to save your revive than to use it immediately.

A ret not reviving before they die, in my opinion, is akin to not pushing a giant, glowing, shiny green button with a flashy label reading "PUSH THIS BUTTON TO CONFIRM A TOWN WIN".
Hell, I don't care if I revive a medium or an escort! Reviving guarantees TWO confirmed town roles: The ret, and the resurrected target; both of which have the ability to dictate lynchings and throw suspicion since they possess confirmed ethos. It also undoes a night of an evil role's killing.

Absolutely wrong. Especially when the role in question is a town protective, if you have no way of keeping that person alive you need to account for the fact that you could be bringing someone back just for them to die again the next night. Voting power doesn't mean anything if you don't know who to vote up. Using your revive early is a huge waste.
ProjectSuperBoy wrote:No, it isn't. Pidgeon holing the ret into some template is what would be more detrimental to town. The ret needs to be allowed to play their own strategy based on how they feel the game is going. The fact that you could die each night is even more of a reason why waiting was the right move here because it is just as likely, if not more so, that you are not attacked.

Let's say they bring back jailor n2, but bg/doc are already dead. Jailor simply dies again.
But, if ret were to wait and bring back jailor when the evils have already been identified, jailor just became that much more likely to be effective rather than just get killed immediately again after being brought back. So, yeah, it can definitely hurt town's chances of winning.
