Guide to Becoming a Slightly Better

deletedalmost 10 years

Player than you are

  • Stop asking for self votes

If you're confident with your read, as a clear, throw it out there and allow it to be scrutinised. Lead the lynch. You still get the final call, and the reactions that can be elicited from this are much more beneficial than the timing of everyone self voting.

i prefer the self vote meta personally, adds an interesting dynamic to the game you don't get in other setups

Everyone should be spreading this message. Put it on your bio. In the lobby chat. Your Facebook status. Do it all.

It has been approximately 15 minutes and my guide has not been upvoted, Shivv. I regret to inform you but I must retract my upvote of your thread. Your lackluster response has disheartened me greatly. I bid you a good day.

as someone who constantly gets lynched for refusing to selfvote, as it will allow the town to get better reads, i can assure you that the meta will not change.

people nowadays, are too susceptible to AtE, to the point that they will quickhammer so that the person they're hammering on cannot react.


Everyone's way too stringent with the reads they've formed 2 minutes into the game based on nothing but day starts. Leading on people can help you reconsider, or even solidify, your reads. Shying away from it because you're too scared to confront someone with text while you hold all the cards is dumb.
