Guarding against overactivity is an effective anti-Caley measure if you can do it well. Unless you are someone I consider an elite behavioralist, or unless the map is Balcony/Modern/Double Modern, I am likely to be extremely careless about completing soft tells. The real trick to beating me is to look at the party like I look at the party, and find holes in my coverage by figuring out what I’m likely to be paying attention to at any given moment. To figure out what I am paying attention to, look at the party, and use the laser to get a rough idea of what I could be looking at. I have spent hundreds of hours practicing fooling spies with the laser. It can be attempted from time to time with relative safety, but do not do it if you think you’re already a suspect and/or if you’ve already visited statues with Inspect turned on.ĭo not believe the laser.
I am especially on guard against perfect-angle walking bugs. Conversation bugs tend to be stronger than walking bugs against me. It is probably wiser to attempt another hard tell using the ambassador situation as a distraction (see above). If the ambassador is looking very easy to bug (because they’re in the back of the map, for example), I’m likely to be staring at them. If you can get into conversation at a good angle and bug, I might not be looking. For instance, if the ambassador is in the front of the map, near a window, I might relax my guard.
The ideal time to bug is somewhere where the ambassador looks safe, but isn’t. I will almost always have the laser somewhere near the ambassador, to deter you.īut that doesn’t mean that I am always looking at the ambassador. I tend to pour most of my effort into preventing bugs, but that is because it is the most difficult hard tell to guard. It is usually unwise to attempt to remove the microfilm against me, unless you can find a good blind spot.īugging is difficult, but possible. Better to wait, especially in the vicinity of the bookcase you intend to drop off at. If you are not shot, you will become very suspicious. I am good at noticing when books are being put back in places that I don’t remember them being taken from. Do not, however, rush a book you were not seen taking to another bookcase, unless you think you can also go unseen at THAT bookcase. Your best chance if you must do this mission is to take the book without being seen and/or waiting until I’m distracted (see above). Purloin and Swap are also usually best attempted last if you get a green test, this minimizes the amount of time I have to decide who the real culprit is. The following things distract me: the ambassador moving and/or standing in a dangerous area, someone taking a drink after a reject chain, someone holding a statue in a blocked position near the end of the game, and one of my primary suspects doing anything suspicious. You will have to pay close attention to the party to identify your opportunity. You can either create your own distraction (usually using banana bread, though I am fairly savvy to such tactics), or (better yet) wait until a situation emerges where I am likely to be distracted and looking at something else. If you need to keep me honest or see a good opportunity, make sure I’m distracted, because even on a green I’ll probably shoot you (or at least eliminate a bunch of suspects). Both are possible, but my whole system of play is built around denying the Spy access to them. Purloin and Swap are the missions I would least recommend against me. Use the time gained from completing soft tells quickly to set up a quality hard tell attempt.
Note that toing to statues with inspecting turned on is an automatic highlight. Double Agent and Flirt are the easiest missions to complete against me.
Be careful when inspecting or fingerprinting, as these soft tells are relatively easy for me to track, especially on a smaller map with fewer partygoers. I do not guard soft tells especially closely, and while I can detect overactivity, it is not a strong suit. If the setup gives you the option to cut missions, cut as many hard tells as you can.Ĭomplete soft tells quickly.
