Good luck people.
Basic advice:
1.) Common sense is king. If you have it with a decent bit of logic and analytical reasoning, then you have limitless potential. If you don't, then you need to find some or you'll never improve.
2.) Speaking of improvement. Whenever you make a mistake, learn from it. Don't make the same mistake twice. Unless it's to not lynch claimed indies, keep doing that and you'll eventually prevent a mislynch. Maybe.
3.) Don't trust. Seriously, the situations where it's okay to do so are far and few between and it's better not to do so at all than to do it at the wrong time. Unless you're trusting me, that's fine.
4.) Mix it up. You don't improve sitting on the sidelines. Get in the game. Challenge things you think should be challenged. Make the mistakes you're inevitably going to make. Get better. Or just lurk, that's ok too.
5.) Don't take offense to anything in this game. It's a game of deception and manipulation and no one is playing to be on your good side. They're playing to make you do what they want, even if they're town. If that kind of thing will offend you, then don't play. Even insults elicit responses. Especially insults.
6.) Never give up, trust your instincts!
