Also important to know: Gnosia kills follow a couple restrictions.

- The Gnosia MUST submit a kill each night. Abstaining is not allowed.
- Gnosia cannot be NKed. Only human players or bugs can die at night!

Added a note to the rules OP that I forgot to specify at start, noting it here too so it doesn't take anyone by surprise.

Also, if anyone wants me to add pronouns to their name, just tell me!

You wake up, startled. The ship alarms have apparently been going haywire for a while. Sleepily, you make your way to the Meeting Room, and exchange glances with your equally half-asleep crewmates.

You all have gone through this before. You knew what you were getting into. But this time, it's real. The real deal... not a simulation, not a drill. The worst has come to pass.

This time, you know it, some of those people - people you have laughed with, shared food with, worked with, are no longer human.

And they are about to kill you all.


It is now Day 1!

But seriously, if salad's a fake doctor and the real one hasn't spoken up yet, you need to counterclaim that. A claim going through with 0 counterclaims is treated as conf town.

Guillo posted:

It's how Gnosia is played. There's (at least in this setup) always an Engineer (aka Cop in our lingo) and a Doctor (they are the only ones that get flips).

If they claim and go unopposed, that means they treated as confirmed town. This is bad for Gnosia (because there is a Guardian Angel (doctor in mafia lingo) that can protect them from the NK.

But this also applied to Gnosia (scum), who can officially fakeclaim these roles.

The usual meta is to claim day 1 because that's the only day where there's no chance the real doctor/engineer can't have been NKed already (which would end up with ONLY fake engineers or doctors), which could be a complete disaster.

Gnosia isn't quite like normal maf in that regard - While yes, Gnosia WILL be essentially in the open, voting them is actually counterproductive early on. You NEED the information the Engineer and Doctor claims provide. And even if you get the Gnosia out, the real engineer/doctor is almost guaranteed to die right after.

Gnosia is essentially a game of sorting out which claims are more trustworthy than others. Town didn't realize this the last 2 games I've modded (iirc) so I'm putting it clearly out in the open.

Actually i doubt two scum try to bait real claims out, that is suicidal because they will be screwed when the real engineer or doctor flip.

That's the thing about Gnosia, that's basically a gameplay feature.

Town needs to counter fake engineers/doctors to make sure scum does not get falsely confirmed as town.
Scum needs to counter engineers/doctors to muddy the waters and not get confirmed Engineers/Doctors.

It's unusual but that's why this is a mafia-like, and not normal mafia.

Incidentally, Doctor is misleading.

"Doctor" in Gnosia terms means that they are the only people to get the flip, in private. This is why this works the way it dos.

I seriously recommend reading the OP.
