Blood on the Forums XX - Mathematician Hell - Signups (10/15 + 2)

Just one simple lunatic-Legion in a non-Legion game is concerning for me. (With the addition of the Atheist.)

If you suspect you’re the Lunatic in a Legion game, I would recommend baiting your “fellow” Legion into believing you thought you were another Demon. Claim Vortox with someone as your Minion, and they’ll either need to follow your claim or admit they aren’t your Minion. A real Legion knows for certain who their teammates are.

Legion and Atheist are often paired because their games can end up looking similar from a mechanical viewpoint.

You haven’t read what I wrote, right…
Have you?

Without an Atheist it’s easy to figure that out, but put the Atheist in, and it is no longer mechanical solve, but reading the STs’ whim.

Oh, gotcha. You confused me.

If you’re shown the Legion token and go to multiple teammates and they all turn you away, you are the Lunatic. So what’s scary about it?

If only one evil player plays along. (Usually the spy) you can’t determine if it’s a legit game or an Atheist game. And if the St feels extremely sarcastic, they would put a Drunk/Marionette Atheist in to confuse the people even more…

I’m imagining you saw that one recent video, right?

In the scenario where a Lunatic Legion has been seen by the Spy in a normal game and they play along, it’s still inevitable that at least one good player will decline being Legion to the Lunatic. This is due to the fact that in a real Legion game, they would outnumber good, and so there aren’t enough evils for the Lunatic to miss out on falsely seeing good.

So in this case, the Lunatic would know they are the Lunatic, and the gameplay difference is either a) multiple other Lunatics in an Atheist game, or b) you know confirmed evils, even if the Atheist is drunk. I think it’s pretty much the same thing as an evil bluffing Atheist in regards to mech, so it isn’t really scary in longform.

I’ll be honest lunatic legion is probably the least of your troubles

I’d be more worried about actual Legion :wowee:

There was a video on the BOTC channel where the evil team played along bluffing Legion to propose an Atheist world. The Spy received a lot more information than they normally would to make that work, though.

Are you not joining because you’re scared?

I’m not joining because my classes start soon and I am still hosting 2 games

See the brighter side.
If it’s Legion, you have more chance of being evil than good.

Given evil has blundered every legion game I’ve played and ST’d that’s not a bright side :joy_cat:

Have you considered finding better players?

I went to anarchic in search of better players

The resulting legion game was reracked because the ST let too many travelers in

Have you considered finding Storytellers on your level?

Hilariously, the mathematician found out it was legion through numerous correct 0’s…

Only to proceed to tunnel one of the good players over it

legion is cool

20 BoTFs with no Legion? It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make this the 1st time Legion is run on FoL.
:wowee:
