PSA: don't buy premium food; it doesn't help you, it only helps the thief.

There's two dragons, plus you can only guess during the Dinner phase, and unless you get a free guess as a gift, you lose your life if you guess incorrectly, just a reminder.

The two dragons are:
The Dragon, and
The Blue Dragon.
Not my fault that the names chosen are confusingly similar, but I was clear enough in which I meant.
Also, I was just joking.

Not a real guess.

Thats srs logic.

The thief gets to rearrange the food however he wants, so premium food will always go to the thief until he is ded.

He can only get one premium food, so if more than one person buys premium than someone will get their premium food too

Aren't which gifts you buy kept secret anyway?

Well, maybe I'll be the type of parent who takes every joke and turns it into a lesson because it builds character even though the kids have heard this one before.

A few turns of this would essentially out him to the Peasant.

oh I didn't think of that.

YOU CAN BUY PREMIUM FOOD, I WAS WRONG

JDGA · Post Post #94 (ISO) » Wed Nov 18, 2015 7:09 am

Of course, the Peasant guessing the Thief out of nowhere would essentially out himself to everyone else.

vonflare · Post Post #95 (ISO) » Wed Nov 18, 2015 7:09 am

THATS TRUE

DONT BUY PREMIUM FOO-

YOU KNOW WHAT

DO WHATEVER THE HECK YOU WANT

Felissan · Post Post #96 (ISO) » Wed Nov 18, 2015 7:26 am

1. What I meant is that if the Peasant survives to the endgame, he can guess easily a few roles and potentially win the game because of it; if the Thief goes willy-nilly with the switches, it might cost him the game because of that. WIFOMing by also switching the plates of another player along with him for the whole game is not gonna work that easily either since it stops working once that other player dies.
2. If the Thief switches plates around like that, buying Premium food makes it so that if the Poisoner wants you dead, he'll have to aim for the Thief's plate instead of just going for yours, and the Poisoner may not know the Thief's identity.

In short, the Thief doesn't make Premium food completely useless. Instead, he just turns Dinner Phase into a big ball of wibbly-wobbly foody-woody stuff.

When I run this game (and I will eventually) I am going to heavily edit the thief role to make it less unpredictable and game-controlling.
