We do need to elect a sherriff, though, so let's avoid an 18 way tie.

Just to be fair so this isn't information that just one side or the other has, it's assumed at night times as long as the Sheriff does Sheriff duties, he does it with a group of deputies and is safe from night kills. If a Sheriff performs any non-Sheriff night actions as well however then they are fair game for that night.

The sheriff is not protected from day-time showdowns or other form of night activities besides attacks however. This should have been clearer in the rules, so wanting to spell it out before it becomes a strategy issue.
