We neither see nor remember that from the rules. Is it mentioned anywhere? Because we don't agree with it.
Oh, I guess aok might not have added it when he rewrote the rules. It also hasn't been the case in very small games. But it would be really silly if mafia sat on their conscription, and then when town had just caught the last one and was about to lynch them, they conscripted someone, forcing town to start all over with their suspicions. Such a late game conscription would also be unfun for a conscript who, after being about to win, is suddenly forced to switch sides to an enemy they've been fighting for all of game (see, Pesto's reaction in the Fall 2014 game). Also, in terms of flavor, a conscript is someone who mafia forced/threatened into joining them; if all the other mafia are dead, they have no reason to continue carrying out the mafia's wishes.
I guess it's reasonable to have that not be a rule if you didn't put it in the rules to begin with, especially because Oreo was conscripted early on in this case and the dumb scenario won't happen.
