First couple of cycles will be boring for unrecruited people. Let's spice this up a bit!
Assuming I won't get a recruiter role I'll coordinate the unrecruited people in a decentralized fashion. This will be opt-in and not divulge any of your info to me. Those of you who opt-in by PMing me on the forums or DMing me on Discord during the first cycle will receive a suggested list of targets for the second cycle. I will send everyone broad, role-agnostic instructions like "If you are inspector, target X. If you are roleblocker, target Y." And so on; everyone gets a broad list of possible targets. The targets will be different for everyone to prevent overlap. Offensive abilities will be directed at people who don't have opted in. This might lead to lucky hits on early recruits.
I will set up an anonymous Google Form for people to report their night actions. The replies will be on a public read-only spreadsheet. I will prune away results that don't match with the targets I've given to people.
Me being a public figure like this discourages recruiters from targeting me early due to the risk of double-targeting. However, it is likely that I'll be targeted cycle 3 or 4. If I survive past that you should assume I have been recruited. If that is the case, I will use the contacts I have acquired for the benefit of my faction and coordinate any unrecruited people at that point to become part of my team.
So, here's what I'd like you to do if you want a more interesting start to your game:
- Message me saying that you're interested in this coordination. Target whoever you want on the first cycle, but I heartily suggest random.org to minimize overlap.
- Don't give any information to recruiters, none at all. Give them a cold shoulder. Your information is valuable.
- Work with the other unrecruited people in this decentralized way from cycle 2 onwards and only after cycle 4 when the dust begins to settle, start contacting established recruiters.
Edit: This is purely speculative post, without any info from the game. If it turns out I'm a recruiter I'll post about it and stop with this plan. This is why we have the cycle 1 opt-in phase during which I do no coordination whatsoever.
Edit2: Do not send me any information smh! Only that you are opting into this! I appreciate your enthusiasm but you really should not trust anyone blindly like this. It will only harm you. I will absolutely utilize any info you send to me for my benefit. If you did send info to me, please do not send it to anyone else. I'll try to get you into my faction later on when I'm recruited, but you won't be a high-priority target if you spread your info any further.
