whispers that were private were way too powerul, and it buffed town more than it should have. even if theres no blackmailer, people will still be scared to whisper just in case there is one.

its not so overpowered that it basically prevents whispering, but it leaves townies to be cautious.

Also, the sliencing ability was UP, so making a buff was still a good move regardless of how you think of it. Your final argument isn't valid because you haven't said why it's UP.

It didn't buff Town more at all... Scum day-chat is really helpful. Town wins through communication, not through private whispering. Scum is definetely more likely to whisper. It gives NE/NK or NE/Mafia communication, while it gives Town..... nothing really. town does win through communication but whispering was extremely important too. you could make allies and get information way too easily with no risks. and no, town does whisper a lot more. for example, confirming you're the trans if someone claims they got transed. now, you're still allowed to whisper, but it is risky. So yes, whispering was in fact OP beofre the chage.

silencing was underpowered (and still is) becuase the silenced person could just spam the vote button to prove that there is a blacnkmailer, and why they have been so silent. its almost better not to bm at all, so the town is confused on what the RM slot is. Right so you've just talked about one exploit which has already been mentioned. *claps*

As I said before, Mafia members can also avoid claiming by doing this and it can be very helpful in the crucial moment!
