The Witch's Coven Gameplay Thread

I keep coming back to is the Alibi on Akkila yesterday. It seemed like a strange use of a useful card, especially since Akkila wasn't exactly confirmed town. We've flipped one card from Ak and Vic and both came back clean, but that doesn't really explain why the protect was placed in play/ Am I reading too much into it? Before I throw anything else around: Vicious, what was your reasoning for using the Alibi?

[quote=Tennesseelogman][quote]Am I correct that we only have to get the 2 original witches?[/quote] there are only 2 witch cards - 1 person could have gotten both. we have also had 1 shuffle so far so there could be up to 4 by now. that's why we need to go ahead and expose as many as possible before more witches are created - imo [quote]Constable needs to DM who he is saving so a confession is int waisted.[/quote] incorrect - if saved by constable = you don't lose the card[/quote] Ah right I read that.

One could create town mistrust saying you know its a witch card. Then again we confirmed V could just shuffle.

THE RECKONING OF VICIOUS — TRYAL CARD REVEAL ​The town hall falls dead silent as Notoriouspat steps forward, producing a devastating Witness card! Slagging 7 full marks onto Vicious in a single breath, the magistrate immediately drags her back up to the scaffold for her second trial! ​Notoriouspat raises a finger and demands: "Reveal Vicious's 3rd Tryal Card!" ​The Moderator approaches the stand, turns over card slot #3, and holds it high for the gallows crowd to see... ​TRYAL RESULT ​Vicious: Tryal Card #3 — NOT A WITCH ​An uproar tears through the square! Against all odds, Vicious survives her second trial—her spirit remains untainted by the Coven! ​The 7 Witness marks in front of her dissolve to ash and hit the discard pile. With two of her Tryal cards now publicly exposed as NOT A WITCH, Vicious remains alive in the game with 3 hidden Tryal cards left in her hand.

ajs what do matchmaker and stocks do

[quote=Akkila][b]​Accusation: Places 1 mark toward a Tryal threshold on a player. X3 on goryh[/b] non of your cards are flipped.[/quote] That is 3 accusations YOU play on goryh??? I will update his tally if that is so. Matchmaker...there are 2 matchmaker cards in the game. If two different players each have Matchmaker, if one of them dies so does the other one. They are linked together. Stocks...if you play stocks on a player, that player can not play any cards for 1/4 of the remaining time in the day phase. They can still talk and everything else, they just can not play cards. If there is 12 hours left I the day, they can not play cards for the first 3 hours. If there is 1 hour left in the day, they can not play cards for the first 15 minutes of that hour.
