Coming from a rookie perspective, this is a fairly big hurdle for me to jump over. I've only played a couple of games, but I know much of the effective analysis comes from the more experienced players reading between the lines and taking all of that "history" into account. I then come across like a dweeb with the "yeah - what he said" type of posts which really don't advance the cause of the village. I wrote some about this phenomenon in my games where I think the veterans play at something equivalent to "Level 3" whereas I'm still at "Level 1".
But if you always either drum the experienced players out early (if wolfish) or leave until much later (if villagey), it doesn't leave a lot of room for creativity in that remaining 25%.
