Non-Mafia Secret Eevee

[Snowy]

Or you can take the path with fewer risks and do things safely without having to make plays that put your opponents closer to winning. Every Eevee card you play is a step closer to winning that you're not taking. Yes, you can get lucky and hit the Glaceon, or you could hit a standard Eevee, or, worst case, a Pikachu if the Cop check flubbed or was taken by an Eevee.

The path with fewer risks is actually quite risky though.

I mean... there are 11 Eevee policies and only 6 Pikachu policies (5 of which are needed to win)... If you get unlucky, you could easily have those pikachu policies discarded early game and until the deck is reshuffled, you don't have access to them.

Meaning that it is a good idea to keep the eevee powers in mind as a Pikachu.

The most common flow of the game is that early on it's mostly pikachu cards up to the point where they get rare when eevee starts to rise. The eevee wincon is electing glaceon. They could easily talk about how the glaceon is playing towny and how he should be chosen.

At that point it's not like you're being given a choice anyway. Of course you play an Eevee card if it's literally the only option provided to you, at which point you get the powers anyway because the game forced this suboptimal situation on you.
So you still play the ideal situation you can with what you're given, which is using the Pikachu cards while you have them, waiting for them to go back in later after circumstances have forced the bad results, and still never letting anyone who let an Eevee card go through get elected again, because you'll still have plenty to pick from assuming all town players play in the most sensible fashion.

What even is "playing towny" in this game? I honestly can't see how much you can realistically do to "look towny" other than playing Pikachu cards.

With a pikachu choosing between a pikachu/eevee card, it's a risk/reward option. Do you play the safe card (Pikachu), or do you play the eevee card, knowing that the president will get the ability to cop check, or vig kill, etc

This is supposed to be a social deduction game... The table top version is usually very chatty, but for some reason, this game wasn't as chatty as it should be.

I dunno, I just can't see the point to willingly playing the card that brings your enemies closer to winning, when you could play the card that actively prevents them from being able to win. Especially if you know it's likely that the game will force a couple of those Eevee cards eventually, why would you not want to put yourself in the most advantageous position possible by preventing any chance of your enemies from winning for as long as humanly possible?
The consistent win is better than the flashy win. The flashy win may make a better story later, but the consistent win is the thing that gets the most, well, consistent, results.

LG, Darth has said that he is interested in hosting another one of these too. Please join his game. I feel that is probably the best way to see what I mean.

If this is well received I will indeed.

This shows that the game is quite balanced

Congrats Team Pikachu. I was secretly rooting for you anyway, you make me proud.

I don't know if anyone noticed but all the actual Pikachus in the games were Eevees

I was amused when RNG brought that up.

For those that don't know, I always RNG a list of players exactly ten times (No more, no less) to try to ensure that it is sufficiently randomised, using random.org. And it came up with this on the tenth time. (If you're wondering, no I don't like at RNGs 1-9, so I don't know what they were)

The 10 times randomising

Because I like to ensure it's completely random.

 

[Lone_Garurumon]

It should theoretically be no more or less random whether you do it once or a thousand times. If you like doing it ten times, then by all means go ahead, but theoretically it should make no difference.

It doesn't, it's just in Aussie's mind, thinking that it matters

Why does it matter to you then?
