Yes, that is a risk, but it goes both ways. If the number of masons is unknown, scum are taking a risk by false claiming, because they don’t know if there’s another one around who can counterclaim.
The number of masons in a game is a critically important piece of information. Revealing it too early can be bad. (And if scum know it before the town in general does, it is an almost game-ending advantage!)
And the fact that scum might use the second mason’s lack of a claim as “proof” that there were more than two masons is an excellent reason why the policy of claiming when there’s only one left is bad.
I think you’re agreeing with me. What I quoted is useful, but doesn’t negate the insulting behavior.
I’d make a distinction between insulting and distracting. Distraction and ignoring it is a part of the game. Insults are not.
Sums up the problem. ushi has stated who and why, but Cookies apparently missed it.
