Giraffe, I'm not Vanilla and if Romanic is Town, I wouldn't say he's Vanilla either, I'd say he was a Mason.


Again, in the rules thread, number 12 says a Mason is someone who knows another person is Town and can communicate with them.
Since both of those things apply to Romanic, then he is, by definition, a Mason.
In fact, going further, rule 12 states, specifically:

Quote:
12. A mason is a town player who knows that at least one other player is town and can communicate with that player or those players.
Bolding mine.

Seems to me the wording is different than Masons are usually described in games. Usually, when a game has Masons, the mod says "Masons are a group of players that all know each other is Town and can talk with each other" or something along those lines that signifies a group, as a whole.

Here, it's different, though. The rule makes it sound like there COULD be one-off Masons who can talk to only one other person (so they're, by #12 definition, a Mason), but it would make sense that the person couldn't talk back (or would know the first person was Town) if they weren't a Mason themselves.
Me, I must not be a Mason since I can't talk back and don't know if he's Town. But I also know I'm not Vanilla since I have a mystery power and my role reads "Town ???".
That reads to me as saying "I'm the Town somethingorother" or "the Town mysteryrole"....which is vastly different from being vanilla Town.

So color me confused why you keep saying I'm Vanilla. : p
