Hey everyone this is a wallpost I typed up to stop you all from freaking out and panicking with ābut muh betrayā. It will have the reasoning for why I did it within an FAQ. I will have the action to leave queued to happen if anyone attacks me, but please just hear me out with an open mind before you freak out.
Why the frick did you betray you literal scum?
Iām not claiming, but my role makes it so that a successful betray has to either happen to me or by me. This is the only time I will have to betray this entire game. And yes Iām going to try to win instead of putting myself on 1 point and vastly behind everyone else who might find it in their best interest to just leave me behind.
How could you do this to TL?
Hereās the main reason I wanted option 3. TL has a wincon that DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS Napoleonās. They CANNOT both win. Nappy should be able to figure out why pretty easily. However, Napoleon has a bodyguard and therefore killing TL now will cause the least death in the long run. If TL ends up offing Nappy then Alice is after them and we get more deaths in total. One of TL/Nappy will end up dying no matter what. TL dying will cause the least death overall. This was the easiest and most painless way to get my betray out of the way on someone who is bound to die before the game is over.
How do we know you wonāt run away since youāre so far ahead in points?
I came up with a plan for this. I am currently at 8 points while the rest of you (excluding TL) are at 6. In the next Ambidex phase we have everyone in the game except for me betray and my partner be someone who must escape with others. This means that I will be at 5 points, the rest of you will be at 6, and the person who betrays me will be at 10. We can then continously Ally until we reach 11 (Iāll have exactly 11 and the rest will have 12) points and all escape then. The person in the lead will be forced to wait to escape with others to win the game.
You said you wanted as many people to win together as possible???
This is the plan that ensures that. TL is the only one who has claimed that canāt win with everyone else. If there is an evil who can win with a singular kill in the remaining players we can have them do it to TL (but obviously they might lie about this). I am missing claims from gorta, Italy, Solic, and Nicky so idk what to do about them. But everyone else (myself, Marshal, Centuries, TBE, Alice, Napoleon) can all win together easily.
I plan to go to the clock in the dining room since the countdown will hit zero at the start of roaming. Please consider this. I want to take control of things early and keep them as stable as possible while allowing as many people to win as possible and minimizing death. This was the plan that got my betray out of the way with the least potential for it to blow up and a person who would cause the least death overall out of the way the smoothest.
In addition, I think itās in the best interest of the 4 who havenāt claimed to claim so we can see how and if they win with us. As long as you donāt have to escape alone, I think our wincons should be able to accommodate most things. The reason for this is so we donāt have to be inherently distrustful of you. Even if youāre evil thereās a good chance we can make your wincon work with ours.
Also Iām sorry to TL because they were so good this game. Please donāt hate me.
