You often see starting Assassin using 2-for-1 early game or randomly for no apparent reason. There really is no logic behind this except apparentlythe thrill of a possible double-kill. In my experience it’s best saved for late game whenever you have a better idea of what classes people are and which ones you can actually kill. Wasting the ability early often results in Unseen losing the game when they would have otherwise won.
Also random poisonings and distracts, especially when there are healers alive, usually accomplish nothing except confirm the targets as non-Unseen and give healers opportunities to prove themselves.
I have tried using distract to shut people up at critical moments, but it has NEVER, not even once been successful. Once Princess wisped that I killed her. So I silenced King and got somebody else accused of being Unseen. King just force-pardoned the guy and put me up instead. When shutting up somebody’s defense, it just makes them look more innocent whenever they claim “I was distracted”.
Claiming that I, myself, have been poisoned or distracted however works VERY well at putting me beyond suspicion =) Works best if I claimed immune to poison, obviously
