You know how professional poker players sometimes play hands without looking at their cards? They'll win too. Solely based on what everyone else does. Not looking at their hand untill they really deem it neccesary.

I wonder if I should try this with a mafia game sometime. Just not looking at your role pm at all. You have an active power role? Screw that, you're vanilla now. You're mafia? It will be fun when you lynch all your teammates without you knowing they're teammates. It sounds pretty fun to at least attempt once x)

Bussing a teammate is not playing against your win condition, it's a viable mafia strategy. Playing against your win condition is for instance having a mafioso tell you they are mafia, but rather than lynching them for it telling your own role to them instead because you have a pact to do this every game.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if I would be asked "what the hell is wrong with you" on skype once I hit one of my fellow mafia, which means I'd have reached the point at which I probably would kinda be forced to look at my role pm. =P

That would kind of suck for the town if you were the cop.

Eh, it's not that less helpful than a not very active player who forgets to send in nightactions 2/3rd of the time unless reminded by the host and then only checks the people who are obviously gonna be nightkilled quickly anyway. And this kind of person is more common than you think.

There would have to be some sort of mechanic by which you could attempt to deduce your role and alignment - probably that every player starts the game with information about another player's role or a hint as to which players might possess a specific role, private communications would be required for players to help each other figure out their roles - the Host would have to be very thoughtful about the manner in which the infiormation was distributed, however.
