Townies should always tell the truth. That way, it is easier to sort out the lies of scum. There may be times when it would not be a good idea for a townie to reveal the full truth, but in that instance I think it is better to be vague than to outright lie.

Just to expand on this. Townies always telling the truth is also very beneficial to the town when a townie ends up dead because you can go back on what that player said and know it was said without any hidden agenda, providing valuable information to catch scum.

Please. Knowing a townie's motives has no implications on who is anti-town. Whether they were truthful or laying a trap, it makes no difference as they are inherently blind to the truth.
Not beneficial.
However, I will agree that there are some townies that should ALWAYS tell the truth. Those being the cop, watcher, and tracker. People with real information. Then again, people with info don't need to lie about anything. In many ways, there are multiple levels of play. Those who rely on powers and those who don't. Both are very different standpoints. When you have a power, you tend to rely on it, as demonstrated by the recent games where powers have been very useful. When you don't have a power, you look more at the gameplay and what is being said.
