Bad ToS Guides on the Internet

Postby BlastingOff » Sun Sep 29, 2019 6:01 am

Post bad guides (preferably outside this forum) in regards to ToS here and explain what is bad in them, so we can mock them.


Here's a WikiHow article on strategies to win as Exe: https://www.wikihow.com/Win-as-Executio ... n-of-Salem

- Encourages random voting and voting on d2 (you should never accuse d2 unless you know what you are doing)
- If the writer has ever played ToS, they'd know VFR happening on d2 is pmuch impossible due to mentality
- "Mafia/SK" is a bad way to accuse someone, even as Sheriff. I'd be more trusting of a claim that uses the actual keywords
- Guide doesn't realize there are 2 TI slots and that it is common to have RTs.
- The invest example is terrible, no one would want to lynch this result, they'd rather have a Vigi or Jailor kill them, ruining the entire goal of Exe
- The entire "Forming a Random Lynch Train" section
- Notice how the Tips section discourages you from using caps, yet the Forming a Random Lynch Train section encourages you to use them.

Now, it's your turn

"You must wait to do this because, on day one, people don't just vote out of nowhere."

It's a guide to Classic mode, and I suspect that it's old enough that it played a part in causing the "no VFR" mentality in the first place.

it's obsolete as well, this was before the sheriff update (and yes, you should definitely lynch D1)

You mean D2, yes? D1 has no voting phase.
