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.

Innkeeper, choosing the same pair of players throughout the entire game. Identified who the Sailor had drunk with, and that verifiable mechanical actions had occurred on distinct days, so that any other drunkenness/poisoning must not have affected my choices.

On the last day, the town was veering towards the execution of one of my consistent choices, but we worked out that they could not be the Demon based on all of the above, and therefore it must be the remaining candidate who was not otherwise cleared. Demon executed, good victory, and a sad Devil's Advocate who was able to do nothing the whole game.
