Your 'Wow, are pubs really that dumb?' story.

[JSaint]

Newbie townies are something that cannot be helped.

When I first started, I lynched the Jesters often and even sheriffs. I got killed as a Mafia by the jailor for overly eager random lynching etc. Then I learnt from the better townies by watching them, that asked for roles before lynching and checked the role list to see if people were lying. I started leaving last wills as in investigator and sheriff for my findings and various other things.

Through my town roles I slowly learnt to lie as Mafia and other roles and be convincing(it was hard for me because I tended to be an overly honest and open person in real life) I remember how I fooled town that I was an investigator when I was actually a consig because we had no more use for the serial killer.

Honestly, I still make mistakes. In games where there are too many randoms, I end up killing innocent people as a jailor. There are also moments where I let people go and notice no kills, then follow up with an execution, but then I die almost right after. And there was that dumb mayor that revealed my role as a vigilante. I was so angry he had put my life in danger I almost shot him that night, but fortunately I managed to keep my cool and change out of him last minute to one I suspect and send a message at the same time

I'm still not fantastic at the game, and I rely on investigate roles too much, but people need time to both grow and learn. And we need to give them that time to watch the good people play and figure it out.
