However, why do we want to question the child multiple times?

Eldars may lie is a possible reason why

There are other reasons why child is scary, ie things that switch out traits

Basically if you get cultist you can stick it right back on the hermit and then we can get rid of it and keep the conman which seems like a useful guy to have, because it theotically lets you be able to move stuff pet dog, prophet, and doomsayer

if the trait we get is not cultist, we conman the hermit again on turn 3 I think unless something turns up turn 2 that changes things

Also yeah, I think we do need to tend to think more about getting rid of survivors based on their ablities instead of traits if we are able to move the traits easily and have enough time to do it or whatever, because the hemit is something we really want to get rid of if we can.

Oh, to talk about something that was kinda brought up in the board game thread, the jerk is also dangerous if you have a character that has the cultist trait as well as the jerk trait.

I think there is a lot more going on with that card then what just seems to be on its face.

I am confused though since if traits are moved around, even if I'm voting for a guy who is a cultist now, he may not be later?

yeah

Max posted:

The other option is to vote out the hermit so that the celebrity is adjacent to the conman. Since the celebrity has the highest chance of being a cultist, that would ensure we cover that base.

If you have the therapist you should immediately use it. I just realized the true purpose of that card and I feel like a big dummy for not.

Especially in a 6 player game, because we know every ability had the chance to be selected. If you are town and you didn't picked the therapist, you made a really really really big mistake and pick it any chance you get in any future games. Because town should always be picking it, eldars would probably never pick it unless they want to do some crazy mind game poo poo, I mean especially since they might not even get the chance to try to use their ability to find their cult buddy since there is a chance they don't even have one in the game. Its a really really poo poo choice for them.

But basically by claiming immediately we learn a lot about the game, you can tell us the ability you didn't pick and we also you can clear someone else or find an eldar.

But also by no one claiming the therapist we know that ability is off the board and the cultist had a chance to pick it, which may seem like nothing but once abilities start getting revealed it will add up.

So yeah, if you are the therapist, sorry I didn't realize this poo poo earlier when it would have been most useful.

So the prophet is on the hermit currently.

So yeah, get rid of the undergrad, then we don't have to worry about what the celebrity even has since the prophet would be next to it, and then we just have to deal with the scientist and a few other cards
