I think a site meta towards caring about FoS is actually net antitown
Town organizarion is slightly unfairly balanced to town, yes, but do you really want to hound someone for a readlist, or just at a glance know roughly who they, at that moment, think is scum. This is more of convniance than anything. You could totally make the same argument for the votecount. The host is the only one that should access it because the town have better grips with the game the more public knowledge they know, so removing convinent items such as VCs should nerf town. That is stupid.
It was more so that you are giving scum one more aspect which they have to be able to fake reliably to come off town. So like an added aspect of the game which scum has to slide by without notice
So scum have to… make reads?
Cal me crazy, but they already do that.
You would be creating another hard data point for town that is trackable by site software as opposed to like, town having to actually do the work of keeping track of peoples reads.
So you want to intentionally inconvinence everyone?
I can’t do strategies that make me better at Mafia.
Lady Gaga would be better if it was like @Marshal.
To help scum, yes.
How is scum not knowing at a glance whether they have to exert more effort into saving a buddy, or making themselves look more towny ever helpful?
Less widespread info = everyone suffers pretty much equally.
The more hard reads you make scum have to put down, the better it is for town. I don’t know how else I can say that
Mafia is informed party. It is their sole advantage over town. Making town more informed lessens the advantage of mafia
This also forces town to make more hard reads as well, which the scum can cronch on.
Literally the only change this would make is to stop people hankering others for their reads they gave 23 times that day.
Your arguments could be applied to vote counts. Why do we even need the VC? Convinence. Elli could just remove thd option for a VC for everyone except the game mod, with the mod doing buttfuck nothing, and that would be advantageous to the scum. Mod only kills the person with the most votes at EoD, but doesn’t ever give a VC.
But they don’t do that, because that’d be dumb.
Removal of public votecounts just shifts the game towards either more RNG or more dedication/time required.
Both things of which I would rather avoid.
Town is always informed of the current votes; it’s just compiling them into information. They don’t actually gain any new data.
The whole point of mafia is correct analysis of information. The votecount doesn’t analyse anything for you.
The same can go for the isolation feature.

I agree. My personal opinion is that if information is already public to the players, it makes a game more enjoyable to have it also be easily accessible.
The mafia team’s main informedness (knowing their teammates) is truly private information, not the inaccessibility of public information.
I mean there is a lready a new mechanic that lets us vote multiple people
