I think Masons not having daytalk really struggle, especially if scum does. As in, with just that and VTs against scum I'd consider it scumsided - the strength in Masons imo comes equally from being able to coordinate votes/claims/reads strategies or whatever, as much as the "get out of lynch free" card that the Mason claim inherently provides does.
sorry if that made no sense it's late
but I also think a Town RB vs 2 goons is also townsided. in the sense that even though we might often call scumsided setups balanced, the potential guilting or clearing situations a RB provides are just so... clear-cut? that like it can instantly flip a game for town or turn a slight advantage into a steamroll. idk. I don't think I've ever been comfortable seeing that available right out the gate.
