if there's a strong player and killing them just treestumps them and confirms them as town that sounds town sided, and having a council of conftown to help decide a lylo seems like an advantage
also id imagine problems with allowing mafia to keep posting if lynched... their goal then just becomes lowering the quality of discussion which is pretty much done through spamming or trolling
This has been done. It was a shit show because everyone PM'd half the site and 90% of the people posting weren't players. I don't remember the name of the game.

apart from the anyone who wasnt playing posting it would be an interesting mechanic as long as night play was mafia sided and conf towns were hard to find
i remember playing in a 'party themed' mafia like this where anyone could drop by but weren't given a slot.
it was a mafia blowout because my homesite never grew out of loaded slots and nightplay and this was probably the one game where the town was almost entirely vanilla outside of open setups. i think the spectators did more harm than good but a determined spectator could ruin the game for scum. you'd had to enlist purposely annoying specs to have any sense of balance.
i've been thinking of a "town encryptor" role that would allow thread nighttalk. think that alone is ridiculously town-sided.
problem is that people will post dumb shit when they're not in the game
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.
My problem with this is that outside posters could influence town. I also don't really want a game where I have to sort through 100s of ego posts to isolate the players to get reads.

On part 1, I agree that making it a no reveal is most sensible.
On the issue of Scum shitposting, just make a post restriction for anyone who has died/isn't in the game so that they can't do so without being made neutral survivors, essentially auto-losing.

Conq: you, sir, are great at being town.
BATMAN: Only jugg was the only one we didn’t scum read at least not me

Life is simply unfair, don't you think?
And by that I mean that they don't close the thread after Day Lynch, none of that other stuff that I am aware of, but they do have their own completely different take on how to play such as RID kills and claiming is frowned upon.
