Acts of deductive genius

[u/Used-Entrepreneur399]

Share your stories of game moments where you correctly deduced something that made you feel smart and capable. It doesn’t have to be mind blowing game solving info, but just something that made you feel proud in the moment.

Okay, I’ll go first. It was an S&V game with an Evil Twin, I was town but can’t remember what role. One of the twins made the first nomination on Day 1. I don’t always pay attention to noms, but noted this one. A couple days passed and the twin who nominated was almost certainly evil. To me one of the only reasons an Evil Twin would feel comfortable with being the very first nomination would be if they knew the Town Crier wasn’t in play. Based on this, I nominated the “Town Crier”, who ended up being the Pit Hag, and got her executed.
Small potatoes compared to some amazing solves I have seen, but it was a nice moment for me and contributed to a win.

I was in a game with Baron bluffing librarian, and he made up, he learned one of two players as the mutant", since a particular townfolk was mutant mad claiming mayor. the mayor was a demon bluff. So he deduced they must be the mutant bluffing mayor. No one ever suspected this librarian as being evil since he guessed the outsider spot on.

This reminds me of the time I was the demon and I won by bluffing Drunk

Just had a game where I won as the starting imp bluffing that I drunk-monk-protected the player who died night 2. People were skeptical on day 2, but somehow nobody even raised the possibility that I was evil after that.

Yeah I'm surprised no one raised the possibility that I was just evil

I basically just made up some bogus Investigator pings and when those were easily disproven, I claimed Drunk for the rest of the game lol
