I think the point of the Dove is for that rare occasion that they can completely back-fire someone claiming to be something their not. Especially in a very complex and tense situation later in the game where there is definitely one person lying, but there is no possible way to tell which is the innocent, the Dove can reveal themselves and can be a complete game changer, or saver, whichever sounds cooler. If the Dove reveals him/herself now, then we gain one known role that is as useful as a boring human. If we wait a couple of nights, we technically could have the most OP role in the game. I vote for abstaining (of the Dove revealing themself)
I agree with Dave. As for Zeskorion's point about the Dove not being a threat, it's still a vote that could be used against them. Everyone that's not a Penguin is a threat to the Penguins.
You both have pretty good points for leaving the Dove alone, and the past games have shown that the citizens don't really have a problem with winning this game by chance alone. However Dave, you do mention that the reveal of the Dove for a 'rare occasion' is just that: it's not something that would happen often. While neat in theory, the Dove can be better used now for everyone to focus on other targets, and not having to worry about one person. Gimmicky characters can be fun to play in other games, but when the gimmick is rarely pulled off with success, then it's best left alone. Knowing one extra role is very important, especially in a low player game like this. I still say the Dove reveal themselves.
That logic can be reversed on itself; it's one more person that we know not to vote, and it's also one person that the penguins/cultist don't waste a night vote on.
You are right that it does take for focus off of one person, but somebody is going to die today anyway, as will they during the night. But as The Squid said earlier, the Dove still has a vote, whether alive or not. More information is always better than less in this game.

Not Voting - Firepaw Da Cat, zeskorion, DustyScabbard, Rgbunpro, Zetlin97, Miss Alkane, The Squid, MilkCalf, Dave Combine, Arra No other votes || □□□ || Nobody dies. The suspects start a discussion, but are unable to reach conclusions before the nightfall. Nobody died. 10 players remain. NIGHT 1 BEGINS The Night ends 12AM UTC on Tuesday 19th April, or after all night actions have been confirmed. Maybe the deadline could've been extended, but it's not like there wasn't any talk. Anyways, night. gonna be fairly interesting since the fastest possible game is just two nights
...but on the other hand, night actions seem to always follow certain rules The night passes. In the darkness, someone died. However, the news of this new victim's identity are a relief for everyone alive. Cultist Dave Combine died. 9 players remain. DAY 2 BEGINS The Day ends 9PM UTC on Wednesday 20th April. || □□□ || 5 votes are enough for a lynch.

Heheheh. Hmm. Well, we don't have any leads... Isn't this the part where we accuse a random person and cause a firestorm which hopefully reveals our Penguins?
Why? This game is small and therefore bound to be short. We must move quickly... Especially since I know what the setup has to be.
Heh heh we took out the cultist first night. Also, DustyScabbard was doing nothing last night. Who should I investigate tonight?
I think I can guess which role setup we might be using, if all the alluded information is correct. Dave was a regular cultist, which immediately removes setups 3, 4, 7, and 8. The Squid, just now stated that he investigated me doing nothing, which cuts down the role sets to leave 1 and 4. That means, depending on Alkane's role, we're playing with either a Penguin and two Dreadwings, or one Penguin, a Dreadwing and a Penguin King.
Setup 1 -Noble Hylotl, Star Sheriff, Glitch Knight, USCM Militant, The Dove, Occultist-bot, Penguin (Protector), Dreadwing, The King Penguin, Cultist judging by this little thing, all of the things you could be are white. this does not bode well for you- 50% chance you are a penguin. but you could be the occultist, so this brings you to a strange foothold
