Find X

[ethynol]

Hey Trevor, any plans for this round? Well its difficult for us to work together this round I suppose, but see if we can work anything out. 

Right now I'm just gonna hide and it seems very luck based.. , feels like I'll be in some danger when my location is exposed.

[kelticwaters]

Well if you win you can give me the token of life, but if I win I can't give it to you, so I could intentionally not get you and maybe try to mislead other people. I've actually played this game before IRL and won as Mr. X a couple times, so I might be able to help you win. I'd say the game is actually much more skill than luck.

[ethynol]

Ohhh. I didnt notice that Killer gets 2 token as well.

Thats sweet. How is that skill based though? I was thinking of positioning myself at a nice intersection at the turns when I reveal myself, then use either one of the power ups so that people would not be able to follow where I'm going.

[kelticwaters]

There's quite a few things you can do, actually. Always do your best to be as far away from the detectives as you can. You always make sure you can't be caught in one move. Try to use your secret moves on the turns after you reveale so the detectives have as little information as possible. Using secrets to move on the river is powerful because detectives can't follow you, but you can also bluff if they know you're near a river and make a regular move with a secret to fool them. You can backtrack, by moving a square and then back the following turn as this will often confuse them. Another neat trick is to use your double move on a turn where you have to reveal, that way they won't know exactly where you are. The last is extra powerful when combined with a secret.

Ahhhh sweet, thats nice to hear all these. Let's see if I can get them to work.

Need to be really careful this round 'cos I have a feeling a few people are coming for me

By the last point, you mean using double after my reveal?

[kelticwaters]

I was saying you use it on the turn you normally would reveal. That way the first move of your double move is revealed but the second isn't. Although using it the turn after works pretty well too, now that you mention it.

[ethynol]

Ahhh that works too? Wow.. interesting way of looking at it. I can see what I can do with them. This should be a fun game, let me know if anyone approaches you with a plan too

[ethynol]

Heyy, are you planning to head down to 165 the next turn and go near the bottom of the map?

Right now you and Kevin are both quite close to me (2 moves I think), I think need to plan my moves properly haha

[kelticwaters]

I'm not sure where I'm going next. Is there somewhere you'd like me to go? Kevin wants us to spread out as much as possible so if I went a certain direction it's unlikely he'd follow.

[ethynol]

I initially thought you wanted to go 165, and wanted you to take taxi to 149 instead, but either one works and I guess 149 kinda buys me more time.

Ill take another route I guess, but im heading down

[ethynol]

Hey Trevor, stop going upwards, I'm to the south of you, head down if not you'd be in trouble

[kelticwaters]

Okay. Thanks.

[kelticwaters]

Hey. I was just wondering where you think I should move next.

[ethynol]

Whoops just saw your message sorry. Was asleep.

Right now what is your priority? To minimize the distance between us? Right now the only thing that gives you the least distance is to end at 111 I guess.

I'll move slightly in your direction later since im all the way at the left.
