I actually really think this raises a flag. I never said I don't want an easy way to clear players. I even said I thought hut mates should come forward once their scum mate was killed, thus clearing them. By revealing ourselves we've eliminated the need to talk to each other outside of the game thread because now there's really no incentive to.
Also, now mafia are probably more likely to make sure they kill everyone in a hut before they let their scum bud die in a hut to avoid giving information. Where as if we waited to reveal until death of a scum, suddenly we have a bunch of confirmed townies that mafia now have to deal with. I think this works out in their favor more.
Mafia don't control when their scum bud dies. We do. Even if they did control it, it's no different now. If I'm Mafia, I'm assuming the town does what you say they would do if I die: they all come out and say they were in that player's hut so they are confirmed town. Scum knows who is in what hut. So it's the same then, they still have to kill all the town before one of them dies lest they give information after, as you suggested, all of the hut mates come out and are cleared. Literally how is it any different to come out before or afterwards? It's the exact same result. I really hope I won't have to make this clearer. Only difference is we also have the other 2 positives I listed, where we know 2 neighbours can't be scumbuds and we know if a town member dies there's an increased chance of scum for each person in their neighbourhood.
How is there no incentive to talk outside the game thread? Theres still a night period. Or rather, how was there an advantage prior to now? What's the advantage of talking in the private chat that we don't have now? That's just nonsense.
You are advocating less information for the town and saying that works in the scum's favour. That makes no sense. Let me reiterate from the top:
If we don't reveal now and a Mafia member dies, their hut members will come out. Either way, it's the same result. Confirmed townies. However, there are other advantages that I listed to having the huts be public.
There is never ever a time where more information = bad, that's just pure illogical nonsense and I think you really need to think it through again because I think you are factually wrong on this one.
