Ok

But the more important thing is that: even if this succeeds I don't think it does any favors to the site

The night kill is a ridiculously strong power role. Remove it, and things get surprisingly more balanced.

It's literally the entire explanation. A cop increases town win rates much more than theory says it should, because night roles can throw spanners in the works.

The thing for me, is as town solving and trying to figure out the gamestate come naturally to me as town. I’ve always been fascinated by riddles but as scum you have to try to convincingly fake all of that and that’s a helluva lot more work.

The absolute worst thing about MU is it’s random lynches.

I once got mislynched by only three votes on me on D1. I got hammered within seconds of deadline. When I found out I had died, it took me awhile to comprehend it was way too early to be the NK.
