Everyone in pubs is totally unorganized normally, but crier can easily rally them and dictate the moves of the whole town. Its such a shame people consider it to be a useless/troll role because inexpirianced players just troll with it. I've had townies refuse to PM me their roles because criers troll so much.
The message here is stop trolling with crier. It makes the non troll criers look bad even if they arent trolling.
