His backstory isnt a great one, so he made up the worst possible lie he could, about being the mall owner clashing directly with another persons plotline and win condition. The worst thing is now, he’s actually completely correct about something and no one is going to believe him
Haha I knew it - Occam's razor or some such. I did give him a chance to be honest directly to me by PM, so if he was a good guy he definitely had an option there. Not that it would have done much good with my dying shortly thereafter.
I'm assuming Primate is a bad guy too, as he lied about our conversation in the Eatery (also screw you for dissing me now I'm dead!
) Seems a risky play to be buddying up to Green Crayons who is already outted to most players as a liar. It doesn't feel like the sort of game where that gambit would buy you much credibility even if Green Crayons was a good guy.
I think RubberDuck has shared way too much info about me, which is unnecessarily risky. I can see it paves the way for an argument of "BM trusted me so much to tell me all this stuff, and he was a confirmed good guy, so I must be good too". But it stretches credibility to the absolute limit to suggest I would have told anyone stuff like what was in my inventory. And it's somewhat undone by posting a quote of mine which shows I definitely didn't trust him.
Also others may have spotted some of the claims are not consistent with what I'd told them in private. Porochaz knows the battery acid thing isn't true (and I'm not sure why he said this??). Also Poro will know he didn't tell me about the secret door (and I did tell RubberDuck that).
I guess Pooky, Talitha and Green Crayons will all be suspicious for different reasons. My suggestion for this eatery phase was to obviously do some research through whispering to trusted contacts, work out where everyone was moving and try to pick someone off. I would have recommended trying to recruit Talitha as my strong preference as:
A. I had a feeling she might be susceptible to it, due to demographic similarities.
B. The pickpocketting power would have been very useful for us, and very risky if we didn't control it (i.e. the zombie serum could have been stolen!).
C. She wasn't likely to tell me anything, and so would be a +EV source of information to have on the team.
D. Tali is a good teammate as scum.
Although Pooky could also have worked, as it would have been relatively easy to run a gambit to get him in a room with only me and Rubberduck (as he trusted me), in order for us to try to recruit him. And also he seemed to be way ahead of most other players in game terms, is also v good as scum, it would have allowed us to control that lie detector, and he was probably the 2nd strongest player pre-weapons.
A shame we didn't get the chance to test these ideas out...
