How would this work? So I’m inno. Somehow this starts a train on me and I get lynched. Everyone learns I’m inno. And then salty is somehow cleared?
OK, let's say you're innocent and you get voted off today based on the theory that "the mafia would not make somebody vote for a mafia member". So you come back innocent, and the rest of us go, "gee whiz, guess we missed the mark on that one. Guess bsalty must also be innocent. Otherwise, why would the mafia make him vote for an innocent?"
But it could be all smoke and mirrors, intended to distract and make bsalty look innocent.
Again, this is supposition. I don't know what the mafia's thought process is.
