Ok, putting on my reading glasses, lighting my pipe, and sitting down before the hearth and getting all scholarly yo.
First of all, 5 people will need to outlast day 1, correct? Best way to do that is be middling, calm, composed, maybe even just the slightest bit spammy
Korbas, getting too worked up.
Atrahal, maybe, but still being too playful (and seriously you think someone knows who batman is already? seems a stretch to me)
Emur, more likely, but trying to lead the thread, more likely bold town.
What about Rashan he's high up on the list. I also got your first post were I do believe some people may not have.
He's an interesting one alrighty. He likes pointing fingers, trying very hard to play a serious game while not looking serious (making cute remarks and the like). I also like how he keeps pointing out "signaling" when there really is no reason to signal. I mean,
any recruit is told who recruited him, correct?
I'll bite
Vote Rashan

Recruiting rules:Recruiter may recruit one person per night if two+ recruiters targe the same person, the recruit actions fail, and each recruiter is told who all of the others are.if recruiter attempts to recruit a recruiter, both are told who the other one is. Any recruit is told who recruited him. Anyone who is not a recruiter or Batman may be recruited multiple times.
Well, the underlined in your message is ambiguous in the OP. Do we get the cult leader's name upon recruitment,, or do we get the alt of the recruiter, or both? I guess a recruit will just learn which cult he's a part of so he'll know which leader message to pay attention to. That message mechanic might also be in place because of cults recruiting each other's recruits - the super villains would drop like flies if upon recruitment, we learn the alt of our new master. If I read the sentence in the OP correctly, the following would happen.
Say, player X gets recruited by Poisoned Ivy. The next night, The Joker recruits X. X reveals Poisoned Ivy, we lynch her or leave her for Batman. X is then either persona non grata for the other recruiters, or they'll try and reel X in to have X betray their last master again. In case both remaining villains recruit X on the same night, they learn each other's identity. Which is going to lead to very interesting messages, I guess (I don't really believe these were limited use only, after all, they were all but wasted on gloating apart from the Joker's, which will likely benefit him if we act on it).
Such a scenario is going to be game breaking, imho, and cross-recruiting is at some point likely to happen.
Which is also a blessing in disguise for us. If we want to win, we need to have 1 more guy on the team than the biggest cult when the game ends. 5 of us would be enough, imho.
In our favor:
- cross-faction recruitment (sure, maths probably will prove this is a 2% possibility. However, this is people we're talking about. In many games,different roles already target the same guy on the same night. With 4 cults, this is going to happen too as they all want the recruits with the best odds on survival).
- There's also a fairly decent chance (especially for death 2 and 3) that Batman's designated successor is a recruit as he will make his selection of hosts according to roughly the same criteria as the recruiters.
The question for us on day 1 is going to be what we see as our best strategy: hunt for a cult leader or for Batman, then act upon it.
P.S: this post took ages to type and I still probably didn't take everything into account. I'll probably look like an idiot because three people already came up with the same and better in the time between starting and finishing this.
