Drumpots plan leaves the village open to easy kills by the Wolves and SK while the plan doesnt guarantee may only guarantee one wolf by Wednesday, correct?

I dont think thats worth it.

That said I dont have plan myself but I do think keeping the Wolves in the dark about who the Captains protect is the best strategic plan. Its all about luck though

May guarantee none, could be simply 3 villagers.

If they each took a section of the roster though so they didn't cross protect it might be better than a single candidate.

True but we would get 3 people in captains backroom potentially

Well through Drumpots plan that's highly unlikely. I'm with you on not narrowing down the list for captains to select to a single candidate.

They won't try to kill them so that means they won't end up in a backroom.

No I think you can only get one in captains backroom - I think they have to be protected successfully for that to happen

Incredibly unlikely, they only enter the backroom if they're isolated AND targeted by the SK or Wolves

Correct, which is why Im not on board with it, I thought I implied that much

Necro

As I was saying before if the roster was split into 3 sets of 7, leave the captains decide from that selection.

So:

Blockbusters

Necro
Fixxxer
Beakerjoe
Sinbad311
LoughC
Quickbeam
Tritium

Family Fortunes

Rikand
Virtanen
Barney92
Pter
Lord TSC
Sully
Deconduo

Catchphrase

Uriel
PJ
MrsFlushdraw
Bounty Hunter
Duffman13
Stu Redman
Drumpot

If they select from those lists the wolves won't be able to narrow it down to a single target.

Necro

And they'll also avoid cross selection/protection.

This list should give us at least one possible protect if my mind is working correctly right now

Yeah at least one, possibly more. Better to maximise our chances of protecting players with having all three not crossing swords.

Hi folks, looking forward to this. Only disappointed that there is no team for Crystal Maze. objectively the best game show ever and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

Welcome deconduo! No arguments from me but let's not mention the reboot...

Does this mean we don't see the roles of dead players by default? Ouch

Correct, unfortunately. Adds hella fuel to the fire of paranoia

Yep Priest is pretty important in this game as well with seemingly no full seer :cool:

On our side at least.

Thinking about it, I actually don't hate the idea of the Captains choosing for themselves from the full list of 20 other players, even at the risk of accidentally doubling up on someone

If they were to unknowingly pick the same person, there's a 40% chance they'll be confirmed to one Captain

I mean, they're unlikely to isolate the same person twice anyways if they get told nothing the first time round. Captain's role is to find their team mates, thus reducing the list of potential wolves.
Protection is a bonus.

Can you explain your reasoning a bit more because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me?

Seems like the best plan is to let captains protect who they see as the most towny/likely to get hit. I don't understand how arbitrary lists helps that.

Yeah sure.

The thinking behind it is that they won't cross select so there's a better chance of protecting.

If it was a straight protect sure, but the protection only works for their own team mates anyway.

By setting up lists you could be creating situations where captains literally have no chance to save someone because no one on their team is in the list.

There is that too, there's probably no perfect way to co ordinate it tbh.

As Virtanen said above, it might not be any harm if they do cross select at times in fact.
