Town doesn't know who the other Town are with any degree of certainty, but we need to think about who we can hypothesise is Town, who is bordreline and who is possible scum

In what mafia game isn't this true?

And I never like early mass role claims.
Of course it's true in every game. But it's more important in this one. The possibility of bringing in extra votes to ensure the 'right' lynch candidate gives an even greater benefit to scum than normal. Town needs to play this game more co-operatively, more talkatively and more consensusly than normal. What has happened so far is that we haven't, as a group, decided a lynch candidate. The group has been splintered, as always, and that has allowed one or two players to have a disproportionate effect on the lynch by calling in future votes. The non participants are an even greater liability in this game than normal, as are the 'rogue' elements, who may or may not be Town, but aren't playing a team game.
