nmillar: ODD, not OCD! And I made a huge effort with that post, so somebody has to be able to figure it out from the clue I've just given? Surely?
Well, lynching that mafioso would verify your info... Then again, so would lynching you. But with 3 townies dead already, that's probably not the best move. I say again I'm feeling kind of lost here about what we should do... The detailed information you have on Damnation suggests you're not a type of cop role, so there must be some kind of in-game reason for your knowledge... But why would you have information that x is town and y is scum and z is unknown?
And why would you decide not to out the mafia sooner? ... Oh. Something just occured to me. If as you say you were planning to leave the mafioso for LyLo, and (if you are mafia) by this ploy you convinced town to vote for another townie, that's instant mafia win... Having a hidden pointer on a townie that you can then dig up and say "Look, I knew all along that this one's scum!" for use in a LyLo situation is a cunning plan indeed.
I wrote the above out because before I thought of it, I was thinking that posting a hidden pointer very early on might be proof of authenticity. But now I can't treat that as strongly... Keeping a confirmed scum read back can be an instant win card for BOTH teams.
Aaaaaa. Brain overload. :/
