Generally I think the standard for nightless is most recently highest plurality, which should probably work here, FWIW. You should definitely make parity-as-wincon explicit through sample PMs as well.

(Highest votecount limmed at deadline, then player who was at a higher previous vote when the tie was achieved if there's a tie. Only situation this doesn't resolve is the case where 0 votes are cast in a phase, which... shouldn't come up.)

To maintain the current EV in OP, Setup Rule 4 and mafia parity win are all that is necessary. Rule 3 is superfluous at best and misleading at worst.

Also, the setup if is a scumwin is massively scumsided.
