There could be one person squatting on not getting their Backgrounds and try to ride this nude (totally legit tactic though) but oh well.

Hm I thought about that lightly. Maybe someone could opt to not have any backgrounds ever and then after a reasonable amount of time people who have not opted out are forced to get backgrounds.

Wait what PM everyone? Wouldn’t a blogpost do?

This forces me to tell everyone that there are saboteurs with no regards to whether there actually are any

(Also, is it established that “everyone” means “all Explorers”?)

Besides, I always found werewolf rounds without wolves pretty amusing.

What happens if a new Explorer joins the game after you’ve sent the message? Should you send one again once they’ve got their backgrounds? Or not?

The literal reading of this is that Sphinx should PM everyone all the time for as long as it remains true.

Good idea generally, though.

Ah I wrote up a comment but closed the tab before posting.

If people are able to opt out of ever getting backgrounds though, maybe the number of those people should be mentioned in this as well, not sure if that’s too much information though.

[Gaelan, Kevan] I originally wrote it so that it gave different information, such as if there was only one Cultist telling that Cultist they were the only one. I thought it was too much information given out freely though and given that creed they have, it should be easy for them to locate others. I basically forgot to change the private message to a public post.

[Sphinx] I thought that it would be fun if people were running around looking for saboteurs even though there could be none at all or for added measure people assuming there are none when there are some in reality. This was supposed to be a “everyone has gotten their backgrounds so now deduce who’s who” hint, not a “reveal which team has the most voting power” post.

forgot to s/k

[card] I see that makes sense.
