The thing you people are missing is yes, voting in the 3 is technically a safe strategy. But it's also the strategy the scum team anticipate the town to do and designed the teams around.
The mafia member in the 6 is the actual carry.
The mafia member in the 3 is just there to obfuscate and distract and hopefully get mislynches from their POV.
Therefore I should ignore the "optimal mechanical decision" of solving the 3 first and instead, at least be open to the possibility of solving the 6 first. Because solving the 6 first places an unreal amount of pressure on the scum team, at least in the first few days. The mafia member in the 3 has no choice but to defend their partner because they cannot win alone.
That is the actual solution to this setup.
