	* Using your ability early in the game makes sure that you get to use your ability. Like the {{Good\|Seamstress}} or the {{Good\|Slayer}}, it would be a shame to die on the first few days or nights of the game and never get to use your ability at all. ~~using~~ your ability early, even on a less-than-ideal player, means you get some benefit~~. And~~ will often be more than enough. If someone, anyone, knows that you are the Nightwatchman, then they won't vote for you to be executed and will probably convince others that you are the Nightwatchman too.		* Using your ability early in the game makes sure that you get to use your ability.
