Theoretically, no. In practice, if your "playstyle" happens to be very scummy/very useless, you're probably going to end up dead quickly.

Sometimes, when I'm town, I feel like even though the lynch I'm pushing is likely scum, even if it doesn't flip scum, it's still going to be kinda beneficial to town to have these people removed, usually because their playstyle is a mix of lurk/uselessness. The fact is that some games are essentially a race between town and scum as the former try to get the latter lynched before the latter can kill the competent among the former, which tends to be quite low. The only way to sort these people is to lynch them, while you can essentially sort competent people by if they're alive on d5 or not.

What I'm trying to say here is that you can say that your playstyle is unique and all of that, which is fine, but if your "playstyle" contains negative traits, mainly lurking or incompetence, then your playstyle is going to get you lynched a lot, so you should really try to change that.
