How to teach a brother to play social deduction games?

#21

By playing IRL mafia, like the party game

or Vanilla ToS is admittedly a good place to start, it’s where I started and where I continued from

I never played IRL mafia but once or twice I think a long time ago? I have a faint memory of it

Also tbh getting Scum in my first game actually turned out to be really helpful cause it gave me a safer medium to learn what to do and what not to do

(Maybe it was because I was paired up with FK and Solic, but still.)

I-I was paired with FK and Marg on my first game…

Tho yeah

TOS is the starting point to getting gud

#32

I mean to be fair, it wasn’t fake. The person I checked was town. :wink:

#33

what if

We complied a list of scum tells for people to use in TOL so they get good.

Like you know what some people say when they are evil like

“KING EVIL” or something

I bet it would increase winrates

@Planterror have him join an FM game

But have it be a Newbie FM game on the ToS forums

Pretty good resource for players looking to learn imo

You remember “never trust a D1 Alch claim”?

Well, substitute Alch for Merc. I was in a game of ToL recently that had 4 Merc claims: One Sorc, one MM, one Sellsword, and one actual Merc, who ended up not winning.

I mean

At least now you do stuff

I remember being court wizard three times in a row

Just roll Non-Killing Neutral in first game. At least it may prevent from getting mislynched. :wink:
