It's always suboptimal just from a Scum:Town standpoint, and also from the logic that you'd basically be sacrificing the only person you can be 100% sure of that isn't scum. That's not to say it can't have some benefits, but it would always form part of a type of best-worstcase scenario type deal.
To quote the Mafiascum list of abbreviations for what I mean by that:
"BWCS: Best Worst Case Scenario. This is most commonly used when there is a claim of a Vanilla Townie to argue that that player should be eliminated (if they are scum, well and good; if they are Town, no power roles were lost)"
But yeah, any play that doesn't lessen the scum number is by definition bad for Town.
