> Yes, and shutting up during the Day removes information from the team which puts its orders in during the Day. But that’s not really a viable strategy here either.

Obviously not, but that’s **never** a valid strategy.

In a normal game, you shut up at night because you don’t want to give information to the scum team while they’re deciding what night actions to take.

In this game, shutting up at night would still mean we aren’t giving information to the wolves while they make their decision. It doesn’t matter that the mafia gets information while we talk during the day - this isn’t some sort of equal opportunity system where town is obligated to ensure that both scum teams get the same set of advantages.

Honestly, though, why exactly are we hashing this out again? I accepted a long time ago that nobody agreed with me.
