to describe scum roles being informed of nonexistent town roles. It's a normal way of emulating a theme mechanic, which is kinda the point of this game.
The difference is absolutely NOT academic.
The difference between a scum faction with factional knowledge of "you know these facts".
And a scum faction with, sayyyy, a Scum Informed Roleblocker knowing "you know this fact" with, sayyyyyy, a Scum Informed Strongman knowing "you know this fact".
Is really fucking huge.
This game, AT MOST, has the latter; most theme games have the former--but the former is IMPOSSIBLE this game.
That's absolutely NOT semantics, absolutely NOT academic. That's a critical, fundamental, difference in the mechanics of how the games work.
