Why not have me investigated instead, since we are nearly at the power threshold for that?
Because we're not at that threshold yet, and I'd like to see your reaction now rather than later. Also, would you really be the prime investigation target, or would there be someone of higher priority, especially when you later say it's more important to find liberals?
Upon closer inspection of this comment, i would like to point out you are absolutely Right, but are looking at it the wrong way. I want to find the liberals, because the best way to prevent fascists from taking control of the game is to determine who can actually be trusted and keep them in power for as long as possible without causing significant amounts discord.
Sure, that's a valid approach. In that case, why didn't you townhunt on the first turn?
In my opinion, the best approach to scumhunting in this setup is the Inverse of your approach, since the objective is to pass 5 out of 6 liberal policies before the facists can pass 6 out of their 11 and get a president in power.
What do you believe my approach is?
A confirmed liberal is thrice as powerful as removing a confirmed facist, not to mention less costly to obtain simply due to the nature of power gain.
In the scenario where I suggested executing a fascist is an option, the card to make it cheaper would have been played. However, don't forget that we have the majority: we can "remove" a known fascist simply by voting Nay whenever they would be in government, which only costs discord. Also, where are you getting "thrice" as powerful?
I just have no strategy going in except relying on the 35PP Investigation to get Fascists, because it would a bad play for a Fascist to lie about their investigation because I believe if a Fascist confirms another Fascist to draw less attention to themselves they still would out of there players; and if they lie about a Liberal with their Investigation well that would be sus
Why would it be a good play for a fascist to investigate and tell the truth about it? How can you tell if it's a fascist confirming another fascist? How can you tell if a fascist is lying about investigating a liberal?
I don't like this post, since it implies you already know enough about everyone's alignments to know whether or not someone is lying about an investigation, yet you say you plan to rely on investigations to learn those alignments. Chicken or egg?
