If you’ve been outed to the court as Fool you deserve to die. No two ways about it.
But
King guards shouldn’t be able to slit a fools throat.
He should just hide

If evils are attacking you, you’re also doing a bad job of acting like one.

The thing is that Evils always randomly attack at first while BD almost never do besides knight N3 or super late game.

Well you gotta admit, to truely act like an evil, you gotta act like you are trying to act like you are good. If it’s blatently obvious by day 3… than it’s also blatently obvious that the prince needs to deal with it if he’s still alive. Least the way I play fool I more or less attempt to be as BD as possible,

I usually play fool by first playing like an actual BD and then I stop trying half way through in order to “slip” and make everyone think I am converted.
Also use TB to make a few minor inconsistency’s pop up along the way that you can play off of later.
Found a very good strat
Claim sheriff checked this person
And trollbox him sayin he partied…
But as evils you should be killing those who stand in your way. Somebody who is on the edge of being scummy shouldn’t be their target.

This implies that the evils are actually knowledgeable about who they’re targeting rather than attacking random targets. Most evils I’ve seen just attack randomly, and if Unseen/Cult is getting close to a majority then the Reaper/Possessor would probably try to bring them down before they get too strong.

The entire point of the evils is that they are the informed minority
And if the NK attacks you that’s either a case of bad luck or you waiting way too long to try and get hanged lol
They aren’t informed about anyone besides themselves for the first few Nights. In FoL it might be possible to figure it out by N2 but in ToL it is nearly impossible.
Nah, because you’ll just suicide and leave the game to join another one. Just take the loss pretty much. It’s better this way as people wont throw for no reason.

It still sucks ass.
I can GUARANTEE YOU it sucks more to be bussed by someone who is still your merc.
I lost what would have been my first psycho king victory due to that BS.
Holy fuck that was fast but i agree.
Fool gets buffed.
Knight gets buffed.
Mystic’s power level change is uncertain as of now.
Paladin gets nerfed.
Mercenary gets drastically changed in strong favor of BD.
I expect BD to be incredibly strong from this patch on out just from the Mercenary change alone. Never before did the scum team need to consider killing a neutral in order to win, but now they might consider it if the Merc is contracted to a Prince.
I expect to see Mercs claiming D1. Evils cannot waste N1 killing a neutral role and sometimes the Merc will be contracted to an evil, making their D1 claim very smart in saving their own life N1.
Will BD hang any Merc claim on D2? Unsure. The Merc’s contract will certainly be under scrutiny, so a claim from the contract would be appropriate. As long as your contract doesn’t completely bomb their claim, you should be in the clear as you can prevent investigations into your possibly evil target. I don’t see town auto-lynching Merc claims as they can be incredibly useful for protecting BD members. I can see town lynching the Merc if their contract refuses to claim.
The change to Merc is very interesting because it feels like Merc is to BD as the Scorned/Fool is to Unseen or Cult; they are neutrals that usually end up helping the scum team indirectly. The Merc can be contracted to evil roles, however; and those are going to be the blow-out games where evils steamroll.
The short version is this – Merc is going to drastically increase the win rate of the faction of their contract. Since the contract is statistically more likely to be BD, they are going to benefit greater than the scum.
I’m neither here nor there about the Merc change, but I am interested in how it will play out.
