I’ve literally spelled it out and he still doesn’t get it. and it’s not a troll either. 

For anyone playing town of salem, Witches are meant for evil support.

Don’t control the evil roles because you put them at risk and therefor put yourself at risk.

If they lose, you lose. Your survival doesn’t matter if they get caught and when you don’t let them do their own thing, they are likely to get caught.

this one asshole is like “but I want to live” and I keep telling him “you living doesn’t matter if you get the evil caught beacuse you would still lose. and he’s still like nuh uh, there are a few cases where you can win. and I’m like yeah and there’s a lot more cases where you lose. Overall your less likely to win if you control them than if you don’t. And then he gets onto me for bringing up common cases such as witches making mafioso kill other maf or sending an SK to an obvious target who will be protected by a BG which are even more common than the game coming down to a town, a vig and a witch which was their example.
