Default Re: Why one should FPS as a villager

Depends on the number of peeks you have to give to be believable.

In 9 player turbos, the correctness of this play is obvious. The more peeks on must give to be believable, the less one should be blatant (either in terms of seering or fake-seering).

For example, boiler's play in CYOA was "confusing." It caused Zurvan to not know who the Bard was.

This is obviously +EV and perfectly fine.

Replace bard with seer and it's fine.

If wolves are confused as to who the power roles are, villagers are confused as to who the power roles are.

You should NEVER make it clearer as to who the seer actually is. Make it murkier, confuse villagers if it helps you confuse wolves and doesn't screw with lynches too bad.
