so if a town player says “I am coven and catbae is my teammate” and catbae is executed and flips coven, is the first player confirmed as town? because they weren’t punished for “outting” their teammate

If a town player says “I am coven and X is my teammate” and repeats for every player in the game are they confirmed as town because they weren’t punished for outting their teammate
pretending to gamethrow is still against the forum rules

where does it say that

the rules don’t spell out every possible violation, this is well-established precedent

it’s arguably also covered under
that isn’t discussing any of those things though
no gamethrowing is a rule
voicing intent to gamethrow is thus breaking a rule
pretending to gamethrow however isn’t voicing intent or discussing it
these two

ok i kinda think thats not defined very obviously and makes me wonder when joking about being w/w with someone crosses the line into “gamethrowing” or “pretending to gamethrow”
for instance would this be considered against the rules
(im sorry illwei but this is the most recent example to use lmfao)

okay so, I don’t know the context of what was going on in Percy Jackson, but in general if it’s a clearly recognizable joke it’s not gamethrowing, regardless of your alignment
but it would be against the rules to (for instance) support your push on another player by saying “I am a gamethrowing mafia member, I am mad at them for being toxic in wolf chat, let’s vote them out” and trying to convince people that it’s actually true

does that look like a clearly recognizable joke to you
for the record im not asking for mod action to be taken here i just used this example to make the point that it’s not very obvious whether cases like this are against the rules because nobody seems to know

for the record i did find those posts a bit problematic because it immediately removed any possibility of illwei and ash being w/w from my mind because i knew if they were the host would have probably told the mods lol
so there might be precedent to, um, not allow posts like that
this is why the “no pretending to gamethrow” rule exists right? to prevent stuff being angleshootable from whether or not mod action s taken or modkills happen etc
but for that to actually work it means you have to decide whether the post is illegal independently from the alignments of the players involved otherwise it ruins the whole point and becomes angleshootable again
and my gut instinct being that those posts would have been moderated if ash was a wolf with illwei but weren’t moderated because ash wasn’t a wolf with illwei probably causes the problem that allowed me to angleshoot in the first place
