You know this means I'm town, right
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!-

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=TraitorIn post 2002, Bell wrote:@midwaybear. No it isn’t.
Could one of the more experienced people tell me how traitors work in regards to awareness? Typically or all the time?
There's more on the wiki page.These are a few of the ways that Traitor has been implemented.
The Traitor may or may not know who is in the Mafia to begin with. If not, Traitor is basically intended to act like a "bad Townie" - whereas "good Townies" try to find scum, "bad Townies" hinder the Town from finding the scum without necessarily knowing who they are. However, it is considerably more common for the Traitor to know who the scum are.
On occasion the Traitor is only told who one of the scum is.
The Traitor may give negative results to Cops (that is, they show up like Townies would). This hearkens back to the earliest interpretation of the Traitor, called the Mafia Spy.
The Mafia Spy shows up as Town to Cops, but the Mafia can "call them back" at any time to make them full members of the Mafia at any time. (Obviously, the Mafia would know that the Mafia Spy exists.)
Some moderators allow for Mafia teams to kill their Traitors with the factional kill. Other times, the Traitor is immune to kills from their Mafia (in which case if the Mafia tries to kill them there is no kill that Night). Still other times, if the Mafia attempts to kill their Traitor the Traitor is instead recruited into the Mafia, allowing it to talk to the rest of the faction and perform the factional kill. All of these have been seen regularly.
If the Mafia can potentially kill their Traitor, they are sometimes told that a Traitor exists in the game. This forces the scum to hunt for their own Traitor in hopes of learning who NOT to kill at Night.
Some Traitors, particularly those that cannot be recruited into the main faction, are compensated by being granted extra powers. For instance, the Mafia Traitor may also be the team's Roleblocker.
Some Traitors lose if the main Mafia group is wiped out, even if they are still alive.
Some Traitors inherit the ability to nightkill if the rest of the scum are dead.
Normal Guidelines
A Traitor is considered Normal on mafiascum.net, as long as it:
is Mafia-aligned
knows the identities of all of the Mafia team
identity is not known by the Mafia team, although they should know a Traitor exists
cannot be recruited to join the rest of the Mafia team, and (unless Bulletproof) is killed if shot
is endgamed if all other Mafia are dead
gives a "guilty" result to Cops, an "innocent" result to Gunsmiths, and a "Traitor" result to Role Cops
If you want a Traitor that cannot be killed by its team, make it a Bulletproof Traitor. (A Traitor that investigates as though they were town is not Normal, because the Godfather role is not Normal.) Roles like this should return full names (e.g. Bulletproof Traitor) to a Role Cop investigating them.
As a Traitor is Mafia-aligned, it counts towards the Mafia's win condition. For example, in the situation of 1 Goon, 1 Traitor and 2 Townies, the game ends in a Mafia win.
When Syr asked Fakegod about what kind of traitor we had in the dethy Fakegod told him that Syr does not know what kind of traitor.
We can theorycraft that Tayl0r knew her mafia crew but it kinda has to be taken with a grain of salt.-

Bell, that Sword of Damocles thing was an example of a few parts of the thread where I just couldn't track where you head was at on day 1. And like I said, I couldn't map that stuff as indicative of either alignment.
I think I just want reset the dial and give you some space and see how this game day goes for a while. I'll probably poke at stuff, though, as I would anyone.-

Get your charades game face on?
Mostly I want to know if this readslist format is familiar from your meta-ing?
The kinds of lists I noticed while metaing games didn't start with the mod's player list. They consisted of his townreads/scumreads and didn't include nulls. The ones I looked at were smaller games. All minis I think.In post 1612, Something_Smart wrote:Alisae mild town lean but will probably be sortable later
Bell mild town lean

wait Gamma's in this game? his first post is towny though. rest of ISO is null
Jake is unreadable
midwaybear null but probably sortable later
Nahdia null and I hope things get less stressful soon
petapan mild town lean
Pooky is honestly probably my strongest townread, but I don't have to be happy about it
I will not attempt to read Cakez on D1. I have a slight town lean on Cakez. By the law of me being utterly unable to read Cakez, this means he is scum. Gottem
Syryana mild town lean
Tammy null
Tayl0r null via ISO but also lol
Bulge has 19 posts, no wonder I can't remember anything they've done.-

I think that the level of EFFORT put into those reads is consistent with the strides I've come to expect.
Town S_S brings a jovial nature to his play that I don't think he can emulate quite as well as scum, even now.
I don't know that I'm confident assigning alignment indicative points either direction for the layout being a copy paste. Maaaaaaybe a townpoint or two on the scale of coupons worth 1/1000th of a cent.Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

For the most part I'll stay out of this discussion unless you ask me something, but I can definitely provide context on my readlist styles if you want to hear it. And I just wanted to point out that I did not start from the OP; I started from the ISO dropdown. That's why the names are in alphabetical order.It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!-
