Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

What I mean is if he picked the Fascist and said it was because I passed him two. It'd make us both look bad, but it'd be my word against his. I don't know if someone would make a bold move that early, but it's a possibility, since there wouldn't be a chance to clear my name for quite a while.
Okay, that makes sense.

It seems like things are running smoothly.

It also seems like there isn't much to discuss as long as a liberal policy is passed. I'm not saying I trust any of the people who've been in government 100% just yet, but I also see no reason to doubt any of them either.

Of course, I guess that is kind of assuming that kumba had a choice and didn't get 2 liberal policies.

I feel it worth mentioning that while regular fascists have motivation to cause trouble, the absolute best play for Hitler is playing 100% Liberal.

And that is why I don't trust anyone 100% just yet.

Hitler is obviously going to be 100% liberal and I'm assuming that a fascist who was given an early choice (like in these first two rounds) might also choose a liberal policy, especially since the first power is an investigation.

I drew one fascist and two liberal policies, and while I considered passing one fascist and one liberal to "test" kumba, I don't believe that actually gives much information: a liberal would pass the liberal policy because it's a liberal policy, and a fascist would pass the liberal policy because he knows I'm not on his team and it's much too early to start poo poo by giving me an explicitly fascist act to rail against.

Instead I thought that knowing that a liberal policy has been discarded is very important information, and I didn't want to ask everyone to just blindly take my word for it. This way, kumba and I are both saying it.

I could see a fascist President willing to make an early move (for instance bury a liberal and pass two fascist) because not only does no one else see their card, they would control the investigation. But fascist Chancellors I think are less likely to cause trouble, looking to play the long game.

kumba's stint as Chancellor is a null read to me; he literally had no choice but to enact a liberal policy. His play would be the same irregardless of role.

I disagree with the idea that we'd gain any more information if I'd given him a lib and fasc to choose from, though. Like I said, I would expect both a liberal and a fascist to pick the liberal policy at this point in the game.

And also like I said, it is important to know when liberal policies get discarded, and I want the liberals keeping their eyes on that.

That makes sense. I agree knowing the numbers of discarded libs is important.

There are 2 or 3 lib policies left. 18-27% chance of getting at least one lib policy drawn by the next pres.

i would probably policy peek at this current juncture. i don't have anything to go on in terms of investigation/execution and it'd just be a blind shot in the dark, and i don't see any reason to interrupt the current order of the presidency

at least that way i could potentially catch someone in a lie next turn

Not how it works. First fascist policy is investigate (2nd same, 3rd special election, 4 and 5 assassinate). The act of investigating is private, but of course only you see the result.

oh wtf i can't pick okay

in that case i'd probably pick either of our former presidents to investigate, or the next person in line for presidency, since i think that'd give the most actionable information at this state of the game

I would investigate kumba because he, a) didn't have a choice and b) will be President at what is likely to be a very dangerous time.

I'm assuming that a fascist policy will get enacted today simple because there are only 2 liberal cards currently available out of 11. Now maybe KB gets lucky and draws one of those two cards, but I'm not counting on it.

Then we have to go through CPig, DB and RF. If all three are able to act, we'll very likely be either at 4 fascist/2 liberal or 3 liberal/3 fascist. The deck would resuffle when RF picks his 3 cards in this case, so there is a chance we could get to 2 fascist/4 liberal but I'm not sure I'd place any bets on it.

So as you can see kumba should definitely be a potential investigation target, although maybe it could wait until the 2nd investigation if you wanted to look at one of Cpig/DB/RF first.

Aren't there 3 left? Should only be 2 left if Pmush was lying about how many liberal policies she drew. If she drew 2, and discarded one, then there would only be 2 left.

16 cards to start: 11 fascist, 5 liberal.
1 liberal card drawn D1
2 liberal cards drawn D2

That means only 2 left for now.

Per the rules link, 10 player game doesn't have any special rebalancing:

"The 11 Fascist Policy tiles and the 6 Liberal Policy tiles are shuffled into a single Policy deck."

https://secrethitler.io/rules

So that's 17 to start, 6 liberal. 3 left. Unless Pmush or CapnAndy lied and got one more liberal policy then stated.
