Setup is close to the mark eyeballing it; I'd not modify much, here. Can give more thoughts tomorrow, but you're definitely in the right zone!

I'll pass that with a final role/result list (plus rules check).

Question 1: will you be flipping full role PMs, or just listing the roles?
If the former, then this:
You and [Partner] know each other to be town. You may communicate anytime here: [QT Link]
Would give away that it's a two-man masonry. Similarly, then this:
Your team-mate is [Player]. You may talk to them anytime here: [PT Link]. You also know that there is a Mafia-Aligned Traitor in the town, but you do not know their identity. If you and your partner die, the traitor will be endgamed and town will win.
Would give away the nature of the scumteam if you're not careful. (Just saying "your team-mate is [Redacted]" would itself give it away, which you don't want to do.)

If the latter, then: will you be listing the JOAT powers?

Speaking of the JOAT:
Choose a person to protect. If they were to be killed that night and your action is successful they will not die.
While I personally prefer this standard for Doctors, I have to point out the rules for Normals even if I don't like them; Doctors protect only from a single kill. So this needs to be "If they were to be killed that night and your action is successful, you will protect them from one attempt on their life." [/quote]You will receive "Positive" if that player has access to a private topic or "Negative" if they do not have access to a private topic. Players with access to a private topic, but are the only one remaining, will also show up as "Positive".[/quote] You also need to specify that No Result is a possible result; I'd do it this way:
"You will receive "Positive" if that player has access to a private topic, "Negative" if they do not have access to a private topic, or "No Result" if your action fails for any reason."
I assume rolecop just gets JOAT role and not powers for normal?
I believe the standard for this is to give the rolecop the same result as you would for a flip--thus my question above.
I don't believe we have a standard for what the flip is, but I always PERSONALLY recommend that you include the powers, since JOAT can be an incredibly broad/wide role, with as little as two powers or as many as five (hey it happens) and different JOATs have vastly different play and appropriate responses to the play.
