If my lynch is a foregone conclusion, I might as well revea that the alchemy card in my hand is Philosopher's Stone and if there are 20 or more cards in the discard I can skip the next night and go straight to the next day after the lynch.
Could you clarify what you mean here? Bolded part is confusing me.
I play the card and then the next day after the lynch, we get the flip and then go into another day, skipping the night entirely. But I can only use it if 20 or more cards have been used. So they're in the discard or trash or whatever the pile where they go is called.
Oh, I forgot about this. Dsell might be lying here, because I believe him to be scum. And this could be a card (relatively powerful) that scum makes up so we keep him alive.
I'm not even
really asking you to keep me alive here; I'm telling you that lynching me is a bad idea but obviously you cannot know that. And I totally realize that this situation makes me look like scum, but it's early enough that we can probably afford a mislynch without it being a big deal. I am baffled about the 3 vs 4 card thing but obviously there must be an explanation within the game.
As for the card itself, it does seem pretty strong but I could also see it being pretty negative utility. Ordinarily there will be a lot more town night actions than scum night actions, but obviously skipping a NK is hugely powerful.
