And that will be less effective than simply claiming vanilla, at least in some circumstances.
So everyone must play the most effective way possible rather than the way they want? The way their personalities want them to play? Hell, let's all play the Affinity/Kitten method, infrequent but constructive post, fuck yeah everyone wins.
Sacrificing the game you're playing just to give yourself better odds in future games. You should play the game you're playing, not try to obtain the best win/loss ratio you can by sacrificing your performance in the current game. Handicapping yourself as scum so people will be more confident in your towniness when you're town is just kind of low.
That is not my goal, I do play the game I'm playing, but you are free to assume whatever you want. There is absolutely no game-sacrificing especially since my principles are not going to change. What I want to establish is my playstyle, when emotion and meta are things I use extensively, it's imperative I start getting people to understand me and try understand other players and their style. Unfortunately, I'm still relatively new to the forum and do not partake on most of the forum activities, so it's been incredibly difficult for me to settle down in this particular Mafia community, but clearly I've been working on it.
And as a scum, I play how I would usually play as a town, that, to me, is the most effective way to play a scum, there is no real handicapping involved.
