Yes.




A townie, working as part of a team of mafiosi, can function fine (at least as a supernumery). If the townie is the ONLY person to attempt the hit, then the trouble begins.

Happened twice in the early rounds of Capo-I, though neither of the townies in question got dead. They thought a group would show up to help, but nobody did.

Fortunately for them, death for the accidental soloist is possible, not likely.
