@Quartz Zebra and @Oxblood Beagle, thank you both very much for your summaries and analyses! As a player struggling to maintain activity I find those very helpful.
Yeah... my #1 goal is to get active enough to follow along with what’s happening in the thread and start forming my own suspicions.
My #2 goal is to get so active that either I attract enough suspicion to get me lynched or pose a big enough threat to the eliminators that they kill me. One way or another, I’m hoping to die before the end of the game.
Anyway, I definitely don’t have enough reads on people to start forming specific suspicions, but perhaps I can take a more birds-eye (ba-dum-tss) view, and offer some general strategies.
Its interesting that out of the 4 people who have died, 3 of them had special roles. I’d almost suspect that this is secretly a role madness game, except that @Charcoal Hyena was a regular villager.
There’s not a whole lot of conclusions we can draw from just 4 roles, but we can infer one or two things. Namely, it’s striking that half of the people who have died have been Village lightweavers. Now, that could just be coincidence, but statistically speaking it’s more likely that there are several more Village lightweavers still out there.
Assuming that I’m right, why would the GMs give us so many lightweavers? There are only two reasons:
1. To counter eliminator Willshapers and Bondsmiths (vote-manipulators)
2. To counter an eliminator Skybreaker (seeker)
Seeing as how there haven’t been that many vote manipulations (that I’m aware of), it seems likely that we have an Eliminator Skybreaker out there.
So what do we do about it? Not sure, really. Any Village Lightweavers we have remaining should considers disguising themselves and possibly someone they trust, but the problem with that is that it can also draw attention if they get scanned by a friendly Skybreaker. I’ll leave it up to the individual lightweavers to decide how to use their power.
One thing we can and SHOULD do is: if you are approached by someone claiming to be a Skybreaker (or even a worldhopper who happened to scan someone), don’t automatically trust them, even if they provide correct info about your role and/or anyone else’s role. It’s really easy for a Skybreaker Eliminator to hide in plain sight that way.
Also, if you are a Village Skybreaker, the best thing you can do is scan a bunch of people (making sure to share the info with people you trust), and then actually sacrifice yourself later on when your death can confirm your role and alignment, and thus also confirm all of your scan results.
