I've said it once and I'll say it again. Lord Buckethead is the true people's champion. Who do you guys trust more to stand up to a fascist dictator? A bunch of petty politicians or an intergalactic space lord? Sure, he will probably enslave the human race afterwards, but you got to take a chance sometimes.

Enlighten us on the general strategy?

Everything I've seen is just like really generic advice like tell the truth or look for the players with a motive to elect Hitler lol.

I think you want to have as much information as possible early on in the game. I don't mean "you can also elect people you think are obviously scummy" as like in every game like this reads ultimately matter in conflicts, but basically at least the first 2 "turns" we should have completely different governments. The player who first gets elected as president cannot be a councellor on second election, but regardless of the first policy's outcome i don't think we should include the first councellor into the second government. Fascist policies, even if elected, in fact do not "kill us" that quickly imo.

We should have a town president though, since if the councellor gets 2F cards we cannot know what actually happened, or like... it's a shitty situation where the game usually breaks loose (scum president can always lie they got 3F and were forced to give away 2F).

Idk i don't really wanna talk about scum strategy and hopefully they fuck up something. Get a town president, it doesn't really matter even if the coucellor is scum early on. Dont elect any same people on first two governments. That's pretty must the gist of it.

President's can lie about what they get, but we know the policy number, so I think we can eventually figure this out?

I think liberal president should never lie about what they get, because if you do so and scum fuck up, you just put yourself under scrutiny for no apparent reason (which you obviously should not do as town). I don't really think that is an option you should use unless some super rare circumstancial situations, which also includes you have to be absolutely sure about what you do.

Policy peek is pretty much the only thing you can bluff on, but i am not sure if that is even a good idea since liberals don't know other people's affiliations and (especially) caught from being a liar odesn't generally look good. I mean like if there is a situation where you think i am fascist and you decide to make some plan that includes you lying (for you to "possibly catch me"), and instead i catch you from lying, do you think it's good for you if i am liberal (and cannot trust you), or even if i am fascist (and actually DID catch you lying and can possibly convince others why your lie is harmful to liberals)?

I meant knowing the overall policy numbers should help us figure out if a president lied and therefore is scum.

You do not know which policy each president discarded. Only the current president will know which of the three cards they discarded and if it was a liberal or fascist policy.

There is also always going to be two policy cards in the deck when the deck is reshuffled, so you can never be 100% sure of all of the cards.

We know that there are 6 liberal and 11 fascist policies, so like if we do the math this could help us figure out if they lied about which card they discarded. That's what I'm asking
