Be prepared for a rant lol

It’s quite a good strategy to not kill as a or.

It makes the Town automatically think there is an, and therefore be looking out for claims that an Arsonist would make. You can safely claim or  without much worry, because once the Town assumes it is an Arsonist game, like you said above, you’ll probably be in the clear after you claim, and people will likely believe you.

But once it becomes the late-game, you can consider killing. It will catch both the and  off guard. They will probably be looking for people who had seemed AFK or at least quiet earlier in the game, and choose to kill them instead of you.

On top of that, there are a few more extra bonuses.

One is that you can spend your time reading people and finding who might be or important, aka the people that you would want to get rid of quickly.

Another is that you don’t have to worry about hitting an immune, or a Protective role such as the. The game is over once you hit that, and you usually want to rely on the to figure that out, or wait for someone to claim it.

The last one (at least that I can think of) is that you can get innocents lynched easily. If someone claims or maybe even, you can accuse them of being an Arsonist. The Town will likely believe you, and since you didn’t even have to claim a role to get them killed, you can just excuse yourself from it and say it was an accidental guess.
