And yeah, my question for Shraeye for yesterday is even more present.....why was he convinced #1 wouldn’t be killed??
Because based on what I was thinking, #1 would very most likely be mafia. So A) mafia don't kill themselves and B) we were going to lynch #1. Hard to be the NK when you're already out.
I was under the impression that mafia knew their teammates before submitting their preference list. I double-checked the rules during my initial setup thoughts, and came to that conclusion. Then Galz's answer (
here) was just to requote the rules that had initially confused me.
It seems everyone now believes that mafia got the names of their partners AFTER submitting these lists. I...mostly believe this. DatSwan kinda cleared things up (
here) except still not 100%. If the question is "when do badguys know who their partner is?", why isn't the clarifying rule/answer "for example, non-town aligned players will not know any of their teammates when ranking".
