it’s not the only way
you can make it literally almost always harmful to claim (see: guess immunity redeemable only once)

#2302

i guess people can still claim if they want to
but like
we don’t need to stop all claiming
we just need to make it stupid to do so

#2303

and a lack of communication just makes the game boring

#2304

i suppose that main thread would still exist in this, yes?

#2305

after considering that then
less boring

#2306

and i guess the optimal play in this new coup-style thing would just to be to
never talk
but also that aint ever happening

#2307

at least, not with this group

#2308

Sorry.
I meant secret communications.

yeah
i suppose that banning that does solve the role-claim meta or whatever
but it makes the game boring
and i think that making non-claiming just
almost always stupid is way better

#2310

Then just get rid of free guess and guess immunity completely…
Way better than giving a gift a “once per game” limitation.

#2311

what

#2312

i am amenable to getting rid of guess immunity
but free guess too??

#2313

entirely, that is

#2314

No free guees
No guess immunity
Just death stake guesses.

#2315

well that discourages guessing at all

#2316

which kind of runs contrary to what i’m doing here

#2317

the reason its OPG is because if you are found out without claiming, you still have a sort-of lifeline
i suppose in practice it usually ends up merely delaying your demise
but

#2318

It just makes it high stake.

Because removing guess immunity will spiral taking free guess every time as the optimal choice, which will lead to other problems…

These two gifts simply cannot be seperated from each other.

Hmm…
Maybe you can make both as a 1pg…
(i note this down.)

#2319

yeah fair

#2320

im amenable to that
