Who is responsible for avoiding short nights?

I almost screwed up modding Newbie 303 by having a very short night. The scum (Balckberry) sent in the kill as soon as the game went to night and I started the next day within a few hours. This enabled the town to narrow down the possible scum to those who were on the site during the short night:

. As it happened, the town didn't follow through this line of enquiry and the scum won.

The question is: whose responsibility is this? Is it the scum's responsibility to delay sending in their kill or ask the mod to delay the new day? Or should the mod take it on himself to delay starting the new day in such a case?

In other words: was this my fault or Blackberry's?



[I accept at once that in a Newbie Game where the scum is not IC, the mod should point out the problem to the scum if they are not IC.]
