But apparently a random vote on someone seven hours into the game with flimsy justification makes me obvscum, so do what you will with that.

So... rereading cookie, and I have concerns.
In post 261, cool cookie wrote:I'm going to claim. I'm an Informed Townie. I know there is a Bulletproof Mafia Traitor in the game. I think the quotes below are Redtea signalling to the rest of the mafia that they are said traitor, partly given it was a really weird out-on-a-limb connection to make in the context of the discussion to that point, and partly because there are very few reasons to make such an effort to hint that you are mafia-aligned, other than being the mafia traitor.

I could be wrong, but there's nothing really lost by me claiming anyway as that's my only power.

1) Why would the mod give info not only about the existence of a traitor, but the fact they're bulletproof? What town utility comes from outing the fact the traitor is bulletproof?

cookie could have left the bulletproof bit out of his claim and let mafia sweat hitting their traitor at night, or think they're traitor was being protected if they did shoot them.

Mentioning the bulletproof bit could have easily been a message from traitor!cookie to his team.
In post 305, cool cookie wrote:i got some reads but will see if i am alive tomorrow to share them
Why would town hold off on posting reads after leading a wagon on what they felt was a solid chance at flipping red, knowing that it's probably their only chance to do so if scum flips?

So you think Cookie is a bulletproof traitor trying to signal to his team, and that redtea is one of the other two scum fakeclaiming to get the heat off of him since such a thing would align with his own role? I can’t imagine one being scum and not the other.

It's possible, as Mafia typically don't know who the traitor is and vice versa, but I'm not as sold on red tea being scum anymore.

I've liked my interactions with him.

Actually. @Three I’m seriously suspicious of you, but I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt here if you’re willing to do the same with me. It’s in both of our best interests to work on a compromise for today— in case you are town, then scum is obviously going to look to keep our wagons as the main focuses so that the spotlight isn’t turned on them. Both of us
do
give out a lot of content that could be useful to find each other later, so why don’t we let each other keep talking and try to reach a conclusion on something else?

TL;DR: You trust me and take your vote off me, I’ll trust you and take my vote off you.

I don't really buy it. The mention of bulletproof would only be a signal if scum knew that the traitor was bulletproof, and normally traitor roles aren't known unless the scum team was informed of something like that. In FIA WRC the scum killed their traitor (t3 lol) because they didn't know what he had there, and I think it's safe to assume that they wouldn't know that information here either

oh, i see

at first, i thought the traitor was just a bulletproof based on cookie's claim
then... about (second quote)
this means the traitor has an ability, which is restricted like that?

not quite sure on redtea's claim now.

unsure why this "informed townie" would be a role in the game, haven't seen anything like that before.
but i still buy the claim and feel like we're overthinking it.

No, I don’t think the first part is necessary for scum to find their traitor? House is right that the reveal that there’s a bulletproof traitor doesn’t have that much town utility to begin with, since it means that mafia hitting their traitor allows them to figure out that the traitor is in their party in the first place, and lets them know not to push them as opposed to not knowing how their target survived giving way to uncertainty.

I accept that I was wrong, but I still have my reservations regarding his status— although I’m not tunneled at all and am willing to turn my focus onto other people if he is as well. I know I’m town, so it’s up to him to move and I’ll follow suit.

My thought is that making the information that the traitor is bulletproof public helps mafia more than it helps town.

No it wouldn't. All scum would have to know when reading cookie's post is that a traitor is in the game.

Cookie's "informed townie" claim was more helpful to scum than town if they DID NOT already know the traitor was bulletproof.

By offering up a miselim, cookie has a ready-made explanation for why he's not nk bait.
