Because I didn't feel like that was information that I could justify a fully town, not 3p, claim as having, and at the time, I wasn't sure we were outed as 3p--once we
were
outed as 3p, I saw no reason to hold back on that information because there was no need to pretend to be fully fully town, basically.
To put it another way.
We're a 3p that's town-friendly, but not technically town.
I am playing as if I were town.
But I have access to information that no town player would conceivably have access to.
If we were masquerading as town, I couldn't divulge that information because town wouldn't have access to it.
But as we are a 3p and not masquerading as town, I can freely divulge it, so did.
Basically it felt like something that the only reason to divulge it, would be after having been outed as 3p. So the moment I confirmed we were outed as 3p, I divulged it.
My stance on this is pretty consistent on all fronts, really.
I will expand and divulge extra on information others have already shared; I won't divulge things just for the sake of outing them if I see no reason to and perhaps reason not to.
It wasn't something I could divulge on D1 without outing being 3p, but I did at least hint at it, by being explicit since D1 that there were exactly five scum, and always saying and reinforcing, five scum. So while I didn't divulge it until I felt I could, I freely hinted at it.
