That your new behavior didn't prevent votes that went towards you doesn't really mean anything, unless you believe strategies can't end up unsuccessful. And no, one wouldn't necessarily assume that you wouldn't take a risk. |
I would argue that changing my playing style isn't as easy as it sounds.
A large part of my personality consists of paranoia. Because of my nature I rarely take risks because I am afraid of the consequences. As a result, my ways haven't really changed because you could say I am afraid of change because that requires taking a risk. If I was one that could adapt quickly to my playing style perhaps I would have won a few more than 0 poker games with my friends.
Because I don't really have an amazing or important ability that goes with my role I figured taking this 'risk' (I'm not even sure if I thought it was a risk or something else to be honest) because am I not mafia, a vig, a doctor, or any other powerful/important role. Had I been one of these I would not jump out in the open like this because now I have a higher chance of being role blocked or inflicted by any other negative status effects the town has tonight.
