I’ve played games like this. It’s wonderful, grand, truly, that we’ve passed the first mission with the first team proposed, but I as a player and, well, literally everyone in this circle, knows nothing about anyone else as a result.
Generally speaking if you are an evil player and your evil teammate is in a proposition, you are happy to accept it. People don’t, because it looks odd that you accept a node that you yourself weren’t in. If you were a town, well, you’re basically just sacrificing the ability to learn anything!
You are remarkably un-paranoid about the fact that node was accepted by 2 seperate players that were out of node, despite the fact that this behaviour is inherently suspicious due to the fact they should believe that that node has a higher chance to be evil purely because they aren’t in it. Not to mention the fact that seeing what everyone (up until hammer) has to say about the game and who they would and would not put in a team is information in of itself.
“But we could be giving power to an evil by doing that!” is a non-argument given how hippo could easily have been an evil who just got lucky enough to rand being player 1.
