How to win as town
Don’t massclaim and lose d1 to the nk
Yeah I’ve seen the swap. It’s a good change in general but I just don’t feel like its going to be enough, but like you said there’s no data to compare.

you’re not incompetent
also Mastermind received those buffs because of the number of games that were being solved more-or-less entirely with mechanical confirmation
while it’s almost always optimal to go TK/CW, the fact that the Butler whose occ was seen on Gossip could be MM makes it much harder to mechanically lock games
this is less of a problem in Cult games because Cultists have more similar-to-BD abilities
one of them was something like ‘people keep blocking my locker during the passing period and I don’t have enough time to grab my stuff and get to class’ and my advice was ‘try carrying the things you need for multiple classes at the same time so you don’t have to go back to your locker as often’
the other one was … something about someone’s friend failing to keep their secret? … and I forget what my advice was but the newspaper person changed it to ‘literally never tell anyone anything ever’ (this is hyperbole but still) which wasn’t even what I had said
we only actually ever made two issues, because after that one of the newspaper advisor’s kids got sick

Cult alts lead to feast or famine situations where some converts blow others out of the water to ridiculous extents
Isn’t that basically what happened in FoL 27 anyway. There was mechanical info from Exhumes which cleared people, there was Empower that outed Alice, and there was Bounty which confirmed Napoleon even though he got converted right after.
Also Ritual devolved into talk about mechanics for the biggest part of the thread and look what happened.
Oh and Randomizer where half of BD was mechanically confirmed by D2 but we don’t talk about Randomizer. :^)
This actually sounds reasonable and pretty good overall, to be honest.

Even if they were all theoretically balanced it would still be variety for the sake of variety
Which is no
Yep, there are always going to be ‘best’ alts while others are never going to be picked.

one day it will return in a GI game
prepare thyselves
he was converted N1
In general we’re okay with some amount of mechanical confirmation/mechanical leads
no one is saying ‘remove Sheriff, it can find the Assassin, which allows the game to be mechanically solved more easily’
but the sheer number of people who were managing to get off 1 action that confirmed them as not-starting-Unseen was kind of excessively high
