This is like, very ambiguous. Like, more ambiguous and impactful than most normal game rule edge cases. The wiki article refers to the "Mafia team" and I think it's ambiguous if it's referring to just people with PT access or the whole team. I'm not sure if it should be the case that traitors are informed of the whole team including the other traitor, or if they're informed of just the non-traitor members but that another traitor exists, or if they're not even told of the other traitor.

If I were to give a definite ruling I'd probably say the 1st, as Ircher said, because I think that's what I get from the closest reading of the wiki page (and it's also the most flexible since you can informed-modifier them to get the other versions as he said) but tbh I don't think there is a "correct" call here, so if the reviewers agree on something else then that's fine. But if not I'll say that's the version you should use.

Whatever it is, it's ugly. Remind me to fix it when this game is done (I really hate things like this because if I fix it now it's possible that it'd tip someone off that there's a normal game being run with two traitors). For now, there is no standard, meaning really it's up to us to just decide what is the most reasonable temporary standard to have, and ofc if a player asks you about this you answer based on that standard.

(The ugliness being the lack of a standard I mean, not intending to comment on the double-traitor in and of itself)

ba-bump.
