Not reading your role PM

[Kublai Khan]

Eh, the argument that convinced me not to do it from the last thread is that it's not a strategically sound strategy. One of the major tells I generally look for is a change of attitude/playstyle that happened over the night.

Also, assuming that a player who hasn't read his PM will play to his vanilla townie best...

If you have a mafia PM, you run the risk of lynching (one of) your partner(s). Thus putting your faction at a disadvantage.

If you have a power role PM, you eliminate the ability to breadcrumb early and you run the risk of being too townie. I generally believe it's better from power roles to make a few minor scummy mistakes during the game and not look the towniest.

If you have a 3rd party PM, you may have attracted too much attention to yourself.
