as I said, it has nothing to do with a SINGLE use of the ability… a SINGLE use of the ability is absolutely my word over yours. However if I have a claim of Joes logs, AND bob’s logs. and joe can vouch for my logs accuracy while I accuse bob… it’s over for bob, as there’s only 3 explanations for why I’d have multiple points of data on joe
- I actually can snoop
- Joe is in league with me, in which case we are doing an incredibly stupid play trading 2 of our own for 1 of the BD, unless this kill will completley eliminate BD coming back at us.
Scorned is off the table in explanations. joe would have shouted out the contradiction making trollbox useless.
Same reason why observer to me isn’t so balanced. 2 days worth of observer logs, are completely unfakable. Just picking any 2 people the odds that neither of them visited or were visited by any of the living people and thus the claim is guaranteed to be debunked, is effectively zero. I’d say your odds of succesfully fake claiming psychic and fake claiming observer, are both equally likely to be succesful (which is to say, neither have any rational chance of succeeding unless the majority of the BD, doesn’t know the game whatsoever).
Just on a table of confirmable/investigative here
Princess flirt = fakability 75% (easilly done by mastermind, feasible to fake anything but whisp where even a total guess in the dark has a 1 in 3 odds of being correct).
Observer = fakability = 0% (unless nightwatch) There is absolutely no rational way you can have more than 1 nights worth of logs, that can’t be contradicted by one living player. Unless someone actually buys the claim that you are terrible enough to have used peak on your first 2 days instead of following anyone
Sheriff/pali = fakability = 99%… there’s basically nothing that can trip you up on these. if you are unseen or cult you technically know the right answers, can chose whether to bus or not bus etc…
Inq Magic detection = Fakability = 99% provided BD believes there is a sorc, and there isn’t, 99%. In short, if in doubt claim magic user for anyone. You are only wrong if you claim not magic user when they really are, claiming them as a magic user it must have been dust if they aren’t. Not that this is really worth claiming in any circumstance.
Noble - snoop, confirmability 85%. This is assuming that you have 2 snoops on 2 different still alive people.
What are you meaning by codewords anyway. You don’t need codewords, just 2 days worth of logs
N1. 13 - NS
N2. 5 - NS
Assuming I didn’t already post that publicly… the odds of someone else correctly guessing that, is almost zero.
