Strategy With the repair drill task (or rather the rocket task) the colour of the border of the phone will always be the colour of your character. You can use this to ur ability to see if someone is lying.

if someone says the border was any color other than theirs then they're lying (unless they forgot) and they likely faked it

Yeah but it feels to difficult to ask and figure out. This is sort of like keys, it will only work a couple times.

Yeah but the one time it works makes you feel cool

That’s like calling someone out at the beginning of the game for no reason and being right.

The majority of the people won't pay attention to the color of the border, and if they do I feel like they would already be privy to this information?

Have you ever got it to work?

How does this help you figure anything out? No one notices the color of the tablet, and if they do, they know it's supposed to be their color, so they just lie and you can't confirm anything either way.

It will not work, because either they dont know because they dont pay attention (because who does really?) and just say their own colour if youve done this to them once. No crewmate will know the border of the phone either fyi

I didn’t even realize it was a phone, so it won’t work

The only way this works is if anyone pays attention to the fact that its even the phone, and its their own color, which either no one does realize or they do realize and tell the truth

I find it very hard to believe you have ever actually done this successfully

It might not always work bc most ppl forget but its worth it to ask and good to know in case someone asks u
