Semi-Secret Alts
Something I see a lot lately:
Player1 (on a main): I scum read SecretAlt
SecretAlt: You should be able to figure out who I am and know that I'm not scum! [Optional: hint as to main that only Player1 would get.]
IMO this is bullshit. If you're playing on a secret alt...keep it secret. Personally I think hints to a single player shouldn't be allowed. Out yourself to the whole thread, or play strictly as the secret alt.
Less serious IMO, but also annoying, is people trying to guess the main of a secret alt. Sure, try to figure it out privately if you think you'll get a benefit of meta. But if someone's playing a secret alt and sticking to it, respect that.- Dr Worm

Yeah, that’s kind of annoying if people only let a specific person in.
I have alts that are/were secret, but once it’s out, it’s out.
If you’re scum, I think it’s okay to tell your scummates, but that’s like the only exception I can see with that.
If someone figures it out, but you aren’t trying to put yet, just sent it. HitAlt <Unabombah> denied being Una and that was probably for the best.CHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me

Not directly related to the OP, but:
While I don't mind alts, I do think that secret alts are obligated to remain secret, and I think that intentionally outing an alt for gaining an in-game advantage is a form of alt abuse.- Ramcius

It's a first time I see that using someone's meta is a form of abuse. If people want to keep their alts secret so bad, they shouldn't join games with people that knows them well or do better job in playing different than their usual playstyle

his first post in the scum PT was "yes I rolled scum!"
I decided to post "haha just don't post that in the main thread", but to get up to date on the main thread first.

Would this be a really good algorithm for winning mafia games?
/in to a game as altface1023
Play as a secret alt and try not to get lynched.
End up on L-1 based on your play with no meta context.
Fake an altslip, posting with your main account in the thread.
Maybe people don't think you deserve L-0 given the same play with that meta background. Even if they don't you haven't lost anything.
Higher winrate as both town and scum

You might never get run up to L-1 for doing stuff that you in particular do when you roll scum that you are blatantly doing on your secret alt. In those cases the self-meta is not beneficial."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

No, some games you are never put at L-1 and you win a large percentage of those games as both alignments.
It was hard to fully illustrate the flowchart."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
