I'm really confused on how that works

If the wincons are only tied to guessing numbers, not eliminations (at least that's what I understood), then what motivation do scum have for even acting like they are scum (i.e. defending their team or bussing their team or doing anything at all other than just claiming scum)? Also how do the 2p scums win?

Obviously mafia can't just "stop acting like scum", but if there's no point in voting then there's no point in bussing, defending teammates, etc., so scum could just post whatever and town could post whatever and none of it would be AI.

However you did clarify the point in voting, so therefore that point is invalid.

So let me get it straight:
In setup B, if a mafia is eliminated but all members of the town think there are 3 scum, then mafia win instead of town?
