It's not even that. Mafia coordinating to Lynch Masons will simply out themselves.
The danger in exposing the Masons is that it allows the Mafia to target them for the NK.
As long as they have to shoot in the dark, it gives town better odds to have conftown later in the game.
That's not what I meant Grey. I meant playing aggressively as a VT if you get the eye of the masons on you you might quickly find yourself under pressure from both parties. If masons vote you coordinated mafia might mislynch you and have a good idea depending on how discussion went towards shooting into the Mason camp.
This is dangerous.
Ex.
Player A is VT. He draws attention to himself and gets scumread in correctly. Masons vote together (assuming they do. I haven't played with Masons in a while but I was taught as a rule of thumb it's a good idea to vote together since you're confirmed townies) And now you have three Mason votes possibly as we move forward into the day.
If masons vote together and vote towards a mislynch then that's 3 town votes on a possible bad wagon meaning that it's very easy for coordinated scum to get a mislynch on VT and then get a night phase.
Tell me if I'm wrong in understanding the mechanics and optimal lines in this setup.
Still I get where you're coming from and I agree I just don't think Alisae is scum as of yet.
