Not reading your role is disadvantageous compared to reading your role no matter what alignments or circumstances. By not reading your role you are giving up every tool you have to win.

I could see how it could maybe make sense in a small setup with zero power roles on day 1 only but... even then people will probably just lynch you for it (I would). As soon as power roles enter into the picture by not reading your role you are risking throwing out all the tools your team may have for winning in exchange for... being unreadable? That doesn't make sense.


ok..
1 no one would lynch you for it, because you don't tell anyone you are doing it.
2 the optimal way to do it is not look at your role pm d1, then near the end of n1 look at your role pm to see if you have a pr. if you are scum do not look at who is on your scumteam.

I know you come from epicmafia where mechanics play a big role because games are so short. But I think games with longer days tend to be more about reads of players' behaviors and logic, which you can't do to someone who doesn't know their role/doesn't know their scumteam.


All of this seems like a really bad way of overcoming nerves. I don't come from epicmafia.

Like, if you get nervous playing scum and you're worried you'll mess up (to the point where you don't even want to read your role PM), why not just play for real until you don't get nervous anymore? Are you going to keep relying on a dumb gimmick that will probably get you lynched just because you get nervous?

It's not just about nervousness but you can try to solve the game like a townie before finding out you're scum, at the risk of uncovering your teammates. The benefit is that you can play genuinely to your town meta if you feel that it's one that makes you easily look townie.

Having less information doesn't help you win. It might help you not die day 1, maybe, if you're really uncomfortable pretending to be town.


Playing scum with information lets you see things from an entirely different perspective, which is the weakness you try to find in order to catch them.

I often find myself having a hard time trying to make up why a guy looks scummy cause in the back of my head I always know that what he's doing isn't scummy.

Yeah, this convo is boring the hell out of me.

When's the game approximately going to start?


In 6 hours.
I'm just talking as much as possible pre-game to make my filter unreadable.

Oh and I almost forgot, vivax what are your reads on kush, xata, obi, or teem. I don't care who or what combination you answer, it's just that you haven't posted much since the game began so I'd like to hear what you think.


It's all right bro we're lynching you today so I don't have to read the rest of Xata's and teem's filters. Life is beautiful.
But keep up the good work.
