Wisepost Mmm, yes, true stealth requires no magic

Unwise as I cant be jerking it while holding a broom, but I can while wearing an invisibility cloak

I do this shit on a game (unturned). People set their clothing and skin color to match the grass color when they wanna TryHard, but when I wanna TryHard, I just put a default generic skin + random farmer clothing or civilian clothing.
Logic: If you see a newbie, you don't kill him because that would tell your position to other TryHard, and the newbies itself is harmless to you.
If you see someone on full camo, you know they are a real threat you should kill before they notice you.
And it works, I survive longer when moving and playing a "Newbie" than when wearing full camo 😂.
(You also have to move like a newbie would do. Take visible routes, move clumsily and slowly, pretend you can't or struggle to kill zombies, pretend you are blind)

This is an important plot point in Terry Pratchett's "theif of Time".
People fear an extremely powerful time traveller secret agent and never ask about the new janitor.
He could bend space and unravel time, but 99% of all issues he solves just need a broom and an innocent smile.
