Last game I revealed almost nothing until after I had done my job to the best of my ability. Being inactive just looks scummy. That's just how it goes. If you are town you have no reason to be inactive, and leading on that you have secrets that you're not sharing is just as bad. Luv is a good example of that last game as well. People suspected him because he acted shady (He basically started off saying, "I have this cool power, but @%#! you people, I'm not saying anything about it," which is just incredibly shady). You don't have to act shady to be active.Correct! 10 points to Polantaris!
We have to get people to talk because otherwise you will have to reveal if you have something on someone. What's the point of the cop revealing after a single mafia bust? Pretty much nothing, since that will get the cop killed, and reduce the chances of getting future mafia members. But, if you're the cop, and you know someone is mafia, you can scrutinize what they say more, and be able to pick it apart, without revealing who you are. You can't do that if they're not saying anything. That's why it's very important that we get people talking, and if you refuse to talk then the assumption will be that you're too scared of that happening to participate and therefore are mafia.
Oops, got too indulged in Harry Potter. It means that you just spoke what I wanted to say in the first place. I can't add furthermore as you have explained everything clearly.
