Hello,
Welcome to the game!

I know, maybe it's kinda early to do that, before the cards, however I'd like to play as a group today. And I think I know some strategy for a joint win.

Hi Luka , nice to meet you
I see you're from Lithuania.... Vilnius ? I've never been lol , I just know a little bit about the country.

I think you're right , there are ways to make sure of getting extra points , but at this early stage of the game, I think simply making sure that we are not the player who is left with the convict card at the end should be our main priority , don't you think ?

[lukachkinas]

Yeah, Vilnius.
The main thing, I think, is honesty. Even if we know, that one of players has a convict, we can help him to get rid of it.
Although, more players, more possible points, bigger chances to get a sure win, but bigger possibility of betrayal. We should find a good team and avoid 1st Death Match.

Having taken part in season 1 , I think honesty is a difficult thing to come by in this game....and I mean that with respectful sincerity. Early on , players will try and form alliances with as many people as possible to try and get ahead, but this will be their downfall. The first challenge is one where it is easier to "stay alive" (by not ending up with the convict card) , than to win with the most points. Any player who wins with a LOT of points is straight away drawing attention to themselves , making them a target far too early. I'm very open to forming a team and trusting players, as long as we're all on the same page.
Your English is very good, by the way . Are you actually Lithuanian ?

[lukachkinas]

Okay, thanks for advice! So, probably, I'm offering a simple strategy: forming a team of four people with commoners and nobles, and by (un)official trades, trade with everyone, get 3 points and a garnet. "Simple?!".
Yeah, I'm native Lithuanian. And thanks for a comment on my English!

That sounds good...the only problem is that you won't know who the commoners/nobles are when the challenge starts...and you can only talk to people you are in a room with....it's a vicious catch-22 situation lol. So even if you open a room with 4 people , you won't know until after you have the room , what card they are holding....even then , you would have to trust them to be telling the truth ! I would rather we know where the convict card is at first !

It's a good challenge to start the game with...not complicated , and it gets the players to try and open rooms with lots of others. I imagine it will be a nightmare for Mas to keep up with it all !! 13 players, all trading officially/unofficially , with the timing very important !! I don't know how he does it lol

[lukachkinas]

Okay, so if you're good with that, I'd like to form a team with you, me, Adam, and someone, who will be online/anyone of your choice. What I am asking for is to say your card, when you'll know it. Even if it's a convict, we'll help you get rid of it. I'll tell my card to you as soon as possible (cards will be announced at 2 AM of my timezone).

[soullimbo]

Hi ,
I'm a NOBLE , if you want to trade , let me know

[lukachkinas]

Noble? Very good.
Look, I'm very honest, I've got a convict. If you're not afraid of that, I have designed a strategy of 2 commoners, noble and convict, where everyone gets 3 points and a garnet. If you're not afraid and want to participate, do get in touch.

[soullimbo]

that sounds good...the only problem is who you plan to give the convict card to before the end...if you plan to do it last minute , that's risky, and you leave yourself open to the death match with that person. If you plan to have these "4 people" make all their trades in short space of time then hand off the convict to another player with plenty of time to spare, you're basically drawing a lot of attention...whoever you hand it off to will quickly work out the 4 people playing together based on the posts on the trade thread. I know Adam is a COMMONER , but apart from that, I haven't really spoken to anyone

[lukachkinas]

We can act like someone wants to betray the team and then beg someone to swap.

[soullimbo]

I found out Misty is now a commoner..so I'll trade with her..

EDIT - 09:47 ET

I'm now a commoner
misty is a noble
adam is a commoner
you are convict


I haven't spoken to Misty about this team yet,ok

[lukachkinas]

What has just happened? Who is who now? And who is in our team?

[lukachkinas]

I need some time to organize everything.

[lukachkinas]

That's your game, of course, but I wouldn't like you to trade outside our team.
