INVESTIGATOR NOTES

The random sampling mechanic means Saboteurs can't always vote No (they might be in a council where they're outnumbered, forcing them to vote Yes to avoid suspicion). It's Resistance/Avalon but with a sampling pressure that creates real tactical voting.

✎ cross-reference with field obs. before write-up.

▸SECTION 05B·3 TIPS — OPS-LEVEL

FIELD ADVICE

  • 01
    Track failed votes
    A 5-vote that failed had at least 3 Nos. Cross-reference with WHO voted.
  • 02
    Tribunal early or late
    Early tribunals waste info. Late tribunals come too late to fix the count.
  • 03
    Loyalists vote consistently
    A Loyalist who always votes Yes is boring but readable as Loyal.
