I think the votes right now are 5 yes and 2 no votes. So there is still the possibility of denying this government. And since AA wants to comment at lunch we should at least wait until he has his chance.

With Fall comes darkness. The administration ended up passing the first Fascist policy. Rumors of political suppression are bubbling, but nothing concrete is known yet. King Burgundy may ##investigate a player. Since you folks might want to discuss things, I will give him (and any other president with an executive power in the future) 48 hours. Game status: 8 cards in the policy deck 6 cards in the discard pile 1 Fascist policies passed 2 Liberal policies passed Presidency order: CapitalistPig Dick Bastardly Retro Futurist kumba Anomalous Amalgam TMMadman Byers2142 PMush Perfect CapnAndy King Burgundy Previous administration was King Burgundy and TMMadman. Investigation deadline: 11th May, 17:00 GMT

I was forced to go fascist. It was expected but I was hoping KB could pull a liberal card.

I drew three fascist cards. If no one lied, this means Pig's chances of drawing a liberal card are now pretty drat good.

As such, it might actually be fine to investigate Pig, he may not get the next investigation, so the three people involved plan would probably work. Alternately, if we want to place an investigation on a lynch pin president, aka someone who might be the nominee when we could be at 3 fascist policies, that would place the investigation a bit deeper, like the in grouping of RF, Kumba, AA, TMM, depending on how the cards go. I can see reasons to investigate any of the next few presidents. Tell me what you guys want to see happen. I want to hear from everyone. From those of you who have played, I'm particularly interested in any anecdotes you have on good/bad investigations.

I agree with the second half, that the investigation should be used when 3 fascist policies have likely been passed. I want to look back at some things, but is there an official policy regarding this?

Looks like the cucu strategy on the rules link would have me investigating DB this time, so that he could pick me as a chancellor if I investigate him as liberal. Just as an FYI. I can see the value on that one too.

Please limit yourself to looking back only to the current legislative session and the previous one. We're still in Fall 1930, so Summer 1930 is fair game, but Spring isn't.

I still think kumba should be the target but I'm fine with anyone in the near future. DB would be a good choice because he will see the last three cards before the reshuffle (two cards will remain unseen) so that could be nice. If we investigate DB then we should probably also go with the strategy that says CPig should use DB as his chancellor. So we would start limiting government at that point since it would go Cpig/DB followed by DB/KB. At that point we should be either at 4 liberal/1 fascist or 3 liberal/2 fascist. I think if we ended up with 2 liberal/3 fascist then somebody in those three is probably a lying fascist. Although I guess maybe it could be someone from the first two governments.

TMMadman posted:I still think kumba should be the target but I'm fine with anyone in the near future. Yeah. It is too early to say for sure, until we see more cards, but I'm a bit weirded out by Byers/Andy at this point. I could be mistaken, but I could have sworn they were both experienced players, and the strategies I've been reading up on while I'm waiting for people to post haven't jived with the way they played so far. For example, we had the talk about if you get two liberal policies as the pres, should you pass them both on, and this link: https://secrethitler.tartanllama.xyz/#strategy-overview seems to say that you should almost always pass the choice on to the chancellor, unless you are behind and it is near end game. Also, their choice to vote no on the government at that point seems super fishy to me, since I know it would have prevented a liberal presidency at a time when there was not a serious danger from having a possibly bad TMM as chancellor. Having said that, if anyone lied in those first two administrations at this point, it would have been to obscure additional liberal discards, which seems statistically unlikely. In Byers case it isn't even possible unless Pmush was also bad. And in Andy's case it would mean he had gotten 3 liberal policies in his draw, which is kinda crazy or that again, Kumba was also bad. I'm putting this out there because it feels like no one is really doing this stuff at this point, and we probably should be?

Chain investigations are apparently bad at this player count. So we want to avoid me investigating whoever we think is going to get the next fascist policy. ie., Me investigating DB, and Pig investigating me? Good. 3 people involved. But me investigating DB, and DB investigating me? Bad. Only 2 of us. So 3 liberal policies still in the deck, theoretically, means probably Pig's admin won't be passing a fascist policy, so he's a safe investigation from that aspect. DB will also have good odds for liberal policy if Pig's admin only gets 1 liberal card. So maybe it's fine? But it gets dicier if Pig draws 2 liberal policies or if someone is lying and there aren't 3 liberal policies left in the deck. It's not entirely in our hands if we pick someone that close, like Pig or DB. This would actually lend itself well to investigating someone further out like RF, Kumba or AA to make sure it doesn't happen and still allow the second investigator to target me. I'm willing to be swayed still in just about any direction by people in this thread rather than random internet strategies at this point though. I've read all I'm going to read on the game for now, so just waiting for more posting. I'll probably give this almost the full 48 hours so that hopefully we get some posting happening.

Me, dB, and Cpig are good picks since no one can ever read us, but I like the idea of using an investigation on a lynchpin president like kumba and then the second on whoever did the first to confirm
