Yeah, I can play in so many ways
I can vote for Khawy, or I can vote for GatS, or I could not vote
All options unavailable to power roles
It's not about having abilities unavailable to power roles. It's about having play options that power roles shouldn't be exercising if they want to survive. A proper power role doesn't want to draw attention to themselves from the mafia
or from the town unless they have information to give in the case of a cop. A doctor wants to stay hidden as long as possible so they can protect people.
A Vanilla Townie can go to, forgive my pun, town on people. Draw attention, force others to react and if they die, it's helpful to the town that way. After all, by causing a disruption, you get to see how the town reacts.
Most of the game is played during the day phase. Most of the game is about the arguing. Vanilla Townies have the most important ability of all. The Vote to Lynch. Yes, everyone has that ability, but the town literally can not win without it.
Sure, you might not have as much information as a VT, but the point of the game is
figuring it out. So, either you're good at figuring shit out or you're not. In my experience, a person who hates the VT role tends to be the latter.
