Cryptography rule is only listed under rules for mafia players so since this is the mod doing it it should be legal? Also shouldn't fall under undue mod influence (15d under rules for mafia moderators) since this information would be required under the setup

that should still work out because you can pressure them into revealing your alignment, unless they get told before the nightkill?

Hey did you know you could technically create thaumaturge using Complex Normal guidelines?

Combined Complex Loyal Checker Simple Disloyal Checker

If the result is one check negative, one check positive, then the check hit either a TPR or a vanilla nontown. If the result is two negatives, then the check hit either a VT or a non-vanilla non-town.

I believe you’d have to be told which part of the role got which result so it’s not so much sadly

Yeah but there’s little reason to, also you can’t nightkill yourself, someone else has to

I guess you just have to be alert if the only NK is mafia and someone claims vig

wonder what the odds of them being vig vs mafia would be, assuming everyone’s rational players

I suppose in a simple normal game:

If only NK is town and someone claims vig and isn’t CCed, they’re telling the truth.
If two NKs, one of which is town, person who claims vig is telling the truth.
If one town NK and one maf NK person who claims to vig the maf is telling the truth

So just have to be wary of one maf NK

You lose a member and you lose a NK on the town. You're at a pretty heavy disadvantage by doing it so unless you
really
benefit from it, it's worse than useless

If you have a scum vigilante vigging a team member must have something going for it
