Being new here though I'm not sure if that type of thing is uncommon or not.
Better odds than even I guess? It's not much.

This probably goes without saying but people also need to remember this is a multiball game. Everybody's scum-hunting on some level so a lot of scum reads are not going to work.
I'm not so sure I agree with this. Even in multiball, the mafia still have different information and goals than the town. Good scumhunting techniques transcend setups because they rely on picking up on those differences in info/goals.

For instance, I'm trying to discern if Guiri has the goal of putting pieces of a puzzle together with their comments on AskThePizzaGuy. Was it just a surface level and flat shading of a player where the goal is to increase suspicion on a player they aren't teamed with or if they are a town member who is making an observation about a player before then seeing what that observation could mean for other players.

The follow up to my question saying it could be either, with reasons, doesn't point me in either direction yet. But being able to get inside the thought processes of players and see the big picture in their mind helps sort people as we progress and I think that will be true even in a multiball setup.
