I really hope that you understand I am not that gifted. and from how easy I read Black, in two games now, neither is she.
this scenario is one of the few slightly interesting strategical questions for scum, i think i agree that you just want to play it as a nightless game although obviously if you correctly kill the doctor at any point that makes things way easier. for example, if you are just utterly convinced you can't play a long game like this, you might as well start firing from the hip right away
i think that the wolf always loses if the doctor happens to be the last or second-to-last person they sort. at final 4, the doctor can claim which is winning regardless of whether the wolf CC's because they go into night with only one viable wolf left whom titus can block. on the other hand the third wolf gets endgamed instantly as soon as they aim for the doctor and miss two times. it's surprisingly hard to concretely think through the risk/value of each attempted shot at a doctor, at different points in the game. there's a lot of situations where there's like the weird jailkeeper-doc 50/50 where if they are both claimed, the jailkeeper can flip a coin to decide whether they protect the doctor which means that it's not a sure bet to kill either target
dont think i mentioned this: the doctor healed ower night 1 because they thought he was the jailkeeper. lol. another thing i think i've thus far failed to acknowledge is that the wolves had like the unluckiest night actions that this setup allows for

it's also slightly interesting what you would try to do if the jailkeeper was outed and all the wolves were alive (or even two of them). i think there's probably still merit to the plan of "no killing" (i.e. aiming at the jailer every night).
incidentally, it's a fairly clear blunder to no-kill especially tonight, where it's not clear who titus is targeting or whether her target wolud be the doctor. in this case it doesn't matter, she is targeting kurtapika, who is probably her most obvious target and is not the doctor, and the doctor is healing her. but i'd still like to see if the wolf puzzles this out

No kill every night until you know who doctor is
To find doctor, push everyone in the PoE hard
well, you should input a kill on titus every night.
i mean you just get titus for free about 1/10th of the time tonight if you do it, and any other night where she doesn't announce her jail target in advance. maybe there's some moments where she says "ok, i'm going to jail x" where x is the doctor and they think they should just stay quiet in case it all works out (which is a bad idea, but less obvious). and of course the doctor might try to hero save someone else which is an obvious bad idea especially when it's clear scum are no-killing but still possible lol
