Pros: You are more likely to be listened to (by average players) when talking and you are more likely to be protected by doc/bgs

Cons: You are more likely to be targeted by killing roles and certain players will decide that unless you have an extremely compelling alibi, you must be scum and kill you just because of their general suspicion of colored names and prefer/blacklist

There is a separate thing tho, and that is revealing your identity. Probably the majority of people who choose the same colored name over and over again do it because they want to establish their identity and develop a name for themselves in the mafia community. It really goes against the more advanced ways of playing the game (anonymity means the game is all about analyzing what u see rather than using pre-existing knowledge), but it has its pros and cons as well.


Pros: People who are your friends/know you well are more likely to trust you and follow you. If you develop a general reputation as a good player people will be EXTREMELY receptive to your ideas. This further increases the chance you will be doc/bged as well. Evils will even be afraid to attack you at this point because of how likely it is for you to protected.


Cons: People who know you will be able to easily pick out when you're not playing your normal town meta. People who know your blacklist/prefer will use that against you as well (and potentially use their abilities to forcibly remove you IE: jailor/vig)



So, overall when you look at those two descriptions, I would say as a normal colored name it's not really worth it other than showing off your points, but if you can develop a good reputation as a person who always uses the same colored name, you can get some distinct advantages.
