No reveal is bastard modding? Since when? Seriously, I've always found reveal games to be babying you all. But, it's the MS Standard (tm), so I guess I'm used to seeing reveal. Further, that sounded to me like there was role reveal in this game.
Let's say that players A and B are both scummy, but they're both also taking a good chunk of time to attack each other. Without a flip, there's no way Town can possibly hope to be sure that their suspicions of either are slightly correct.
Likewise, you can't exactly analyse scumpairs without confirmed scum, and a lack of confirmed Lylo is outright absurd because it means every single day Town has to worry about walking into a quicklynch.
So yes, I think a no-flip game definitely qualifies as a Bastard Mod.
And the reason I was so skeptical was because he made an effort not to say 'affiliation is revealed upon death' and instead used the very generic and broad 'information'.
In other news, in before a variety of embarrassing and painful post restrictions.
EDIT: Also this makes scum's job of targeting stupid Townies incredibly easy, because even when they get a lynch there are
NO RAMIFICATIONS since there's no flip.
