I've seen in games where players will replace into their alt not because of an outing, but because that alt served a purpose in the game whether it benefitted the player or the game itself in some arguably subjective manner.
I think I need this better defined before I can make a call on this, but I've seen Flavor Leaf switch accounts multiple times per game because the vibe changed for him, so there is potential for tangible reason to switch alts that isn't being outed that isn't essentially abusing the system

If the alt is public I see no foul play involved. Switching accounts to change mindsets for the game seems fair, if a bit weird in that idk how that’d translate to f2f mafia ever

Yeah, basically
