Yes, but in this case that meant actually killing Royalists. As should have been readily apparent, it doesn't matter if your faction is currently the largest if you haven't tracked down all the scum, because if the scum win, everyone else loses. And in the words of Kipling's famous poem, If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, then you deserve to win the game, as Choxorn did. The so-called "town" lost their heads and thus, in my opinion, did not deserve to win.
(Then again, I'm frequently terrible at this and I died early on, so my opinion is probably not worth very much.)
