WAY too little.

I don't know why but I tend not to feel paranoia much excluding making game-depending decisions.

If it can win or lose the game, it depends on how confident in my reads. Otherwise, not unless I'm given a reason to.

it varies a lot, depends on the game state and stuff. there are a few things i tend to get very paranoid about if they happen, even if they don’t really make sense for the game state but i’m getting better at recognising whether the paranoia makes sense i think? idek.

examples of dumb paranoia: when i was tracker in my 2nd newbie game, a vt used a cop smiley and so i thought he was crumbing cop and so i deathtunnelled him. even though he was playing pretty similarly to how he’d played as town in another game. i just couldn’t get over that smiley, even after he claimed vt.

Too much. But I've learned that it usually isn't useful to convey it, regardless of alignment. It can be perceived as fence-sitting and thus can be cause for a mislynch. And reasons for lynching someone can seem stronger and more persuasive if you come across as confident in your own reasoning, which is useful as any alignment. As scum my paranoia is more centered around getting targeted or caught out by power roles, or getting caught for a stupid reason.
When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! 'I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these?' Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons!

Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew

Not much. :s I only run into being unsure when things come up that make me unsure. Sometimes I get so hyped up and confident in my scumread that it becomes difficult to let go. It's so heartbreaking. This is how I feel when I let go:
