You know, without the king’s allies ability I thought the game was in a much better place… I’ve heard earlier versions the king didn’t even have the ability and only 3 guards. The games dynamic was so much better and the neuts felt strong now that the king can’t just random spy people and get neuts killed. Made fake BD claims for neuts much stronger.

Yeah, I also massively hated the reversal of it. I always enjoy the contest of claims in these games, you are accused, you go up, you put up your logs, demand your accuser put up his so people can compare which one seems more credible… everyone second guesses whether the accuser is a scorned, unseen etc…
Or you get put up by the king… you know normally in these kinds of games it’s considered gamethrowing not to put up a defence, but if you are accused by the king, there’s really no point in that formality. It doesn’t matter what your logbook says, or your claim. You are getting executed, end of discussion.

Yeah there is no counter claim to King calling you out.
You can say you’re framed, but no one will ever buy that given just the statistical odds of it, nor should they.
And even an evil king isn’t likely to fake a claim like that since they’ll die for it.
