To put everyone on the record and help future reads/DPs, everyone should say which of the 5 mechanical pieces of information they think is fake and why.
I will say prima facie, I think 1 is true because claiming TP as scum is basically suicidal.
2 I think is true because Luna loves Tailors and
3 and 4 don’t make sense to me side by side. What’s the point of talking about 4 if 3 is in there. I think 3 is the mafia made up lie. 4 doesn’t make sense coming from scum.
5 is most likely true because Luna usually has multiple Vanilla’s in his set ups.
Alright, I'm going back to normal for this. @Mikal it was just for fun. I might slip into it from time to time, though I'm not keeping that up all game.
I think 1 is probably true. I can't see Mafia throwing out the possibility of a single TP as something to keep everyone else on their toes.
2 is unclear. Scum have incentive to make everyone question each flip and a fake Tailor would also mean that we're underselling whatever other PRs scum has access to. I could see Luna using one (he has before after all), but I'm not sold on it since he hasn't announced it in the past.
I suspect 3 is true. There is some incentive for scum to use this so that they can straight claim their characters, but that's only going to get them so far. Less certain on this one than 1.
I don't get 4. It's the biggest outlier of the group and just seems like unnecessary detail, but it's also something that doesn't really stand as helpful to scum, at least not that I can see. I don't see what's wrong with having both of these as part of the game, since 3 specifies how we should (or in this case shouldn't) subdivide character claims and the other deals in how we should look at individual claims. If one is false, it's 3, though I suspect neither is.
And 5 is the other one I'm mainly considering for the fake. I could see scum using this to give themselves cover for Vanilla role claims. It's another instance of "this is something Luna does" that he could just have included here, or that enterprising scum could use to their advantage.
So it's between 2 and 5 with a smaller chance of 3. If I was picking one, I'm siding with 2. I don't think Luna gives away that information if he includes a Tailor in the game, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if scum wanted to make us paranoid.
