@sparks it's right here

Padib only says these two things in regards to the topic:
"Meanwhile, mafia players have their separate chat room (they are provided a link) in which they talk to each other to connive."
AND
"these players may be able to communicate in a separate room during game "day" and "night"."

Words instead says this:
" Scum automatically know that people not a part of their team are town ( usually )" keyword USUALLY

So, in response to my question of "How do you know mafia know each other"

He says Padib made it clear....but Padib never did. All Padib ever said was that mafia have their own chatroom, and that some kinds of players might be able to talk during the day.
And then says Words confirms it. Words is the only one that made a post specifically about how a mafia might know another mafia...yet doesn't actually confirm anything...just like a good mod should. ALl he says is that scum USUALLY know.

Then he says that BOTH padib and words were very helpful via PM.

Now, it's possible that he simply made a mistake and missed the keyword USUALLY, or maybe took the statement as a confirmation, justified by being a newb who isn't used to the intricasies of semantics in mafia....so I can't say it's a very good lead...but to me it was definitely suspicious. Especially that he was talking to someone in a pm. Not that it was talking outside the thread...but that we can't really confirm it less risking him breaking a rule and being modkilled.

I dunno what's worse, whether he didn't answer my question, or whether he's "really nervous about lynching innocent people"....he even said it twice.

But I digress. For now, I'm holding my FoS, not upgrading it. A possible explanation is that he's simply a noob. Like House says, everyone lies, everyone makes mistakes. Doesn't mean he's mafia. But, there are a lot of people who haven't contributed yet, and I'm interested in talking to them now instead of wasting my time overanalyzing this.

After rereading what I wrote I see you got confused when I said "WoW also confirmed this on the following post and was very helpful with many answers explaining how the game works when I talked to them via PM. I'm still learning but I get the jist of it." I was very clear when i said WoW was very helpful. So I assume you got confused to the word "them" when referring to Wow. It was not reffering to both. It is often used in place of he or she especially when you do not know the gender of that person or simply don't want to refer to any type of gender. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/them 

Usage note 

Long before the use of generic he  was condemned as sexist, the pronouns they, their,  and them  were used in educated speech and in all but the most formal writing to refer to indefinite pronouns and to singular nouns of general personal reference, probably because such nouns are often not felt to be exclusively singular: If anyone calls, tell them I'll be back at six. Everyone began looking for their books at once.  Such use is not a recent development, nor is it a mark of ignorance.
