On private chats, we pay a coin to open the chat right? What is the strategy on choosing how many/which people to chat with?
yes - 1 coin to request a chat w as many players as you want
strategy varies - when PM chats are allowed and free (as in many games) , i always start a chat w all players to see who wants to talk and build from there - this is different in that it cost money and you have to decide the phase before - and - if a member does not want to talk or says something you dislike = you can not kick him out of your chat and start another immediately w the one(s) you want to.
probably best for the new folks to let people know here what your position on sharing info is and see who wants to chat w you - offer to pay for subsequent chats if you both want to continue it into the next phase - some think their role PM is so sensitive that sharing any of it (swapping info) would get them killed earlier than not, some think they can lay low and not draw attention to themselves and figure it out as needed as the game progresses and others start to share publicly, others want truthful info from you but have no intention of telling you the truth - - are can can be winning approaches.
i for instance am often targeted early by the mafia (when i am not mafia) since i am known for trying to get groups organized and am very open , - hoping to find my teammates and work together. some believe that i try to control those groups and manipulate others into helping me win. i will try to win - but not thru broken alliance pacts.
