PORT-SIDE PLANS


The three Americans sat in an empty rail car and walked through their plan for the first day of their search.

“Assuming junior is smart- and there is no guarantee that he is, mind you- he should have stayed north of the bay,” Lawyers said, pointing to a map. “That’s where his boat came in and the pinch points on these straights here to get South to Puerto Cortes proper or East to Travesia hopefully felt too exposed for him to attempt. There’s enough going on here north of the bay to keep him and us busy.”

“What if he sprang South or East instead of staying put?” Guns asked.

“If he went South, then it will just extend our search. We’ll start poking around here in El Copen and La Curva tomorrow morning. Once we’ve talked to enough locals here, we should have a good idea if they’ve seen a gringo lurking around, and if he headed South. If he hasn’t, we find someone trustworthy enough and line their pockets to keep an eye on that southern straight while we expand into other sectors of the town.”

“And what if he took that Eastern pinch point toward Travesia?” Money inquired.

“Then he’s fucked six ways from Sunday,” Lawyers chuckled. “All I can see on these aerials past Travesia looks like small towns, banana plantations, and prime real estate for cocaine lords. If he’s dumb enough to go that far off the beaten path, then we go as far as Travesia, make up a nice little story for the folks back home, and we get the hell out of there.”


---------------------

Across town, the mayor got off the phone with Tegucigalpa. It confirmed the rumors that the local police passed along to him. General Melgar Castro spoke with him directly, a rare honor, but also a chilling omen. Rumor had it that he was on ever-fraying relations with his own military that had installed him a few years prior, but that was beside the point.

The point was that contacts from the USSR were interested in locating an American man who caused problems for the Soviets and Cubans alike in Havana three nights prior. After he failed to turn up in Cuba, they suspected that he got on a ship to evade capture, and the only ship leaving around the right time that evening was currently docked in Puerto Cortes.

The mayor called each of his high-ranking police force personnel. He wanted this young man found before any other foreign interlopers could get in the way.

The hunt would begin at dawn.

IT IS NOW DAY 1.

YOU HAVE 48 HOURS TO ELIMINATE SOMEONE.

I agree with this. Upon reading it I didn’t know what was bothering me, but I think it’s the specifics of laying out his strategy, like boldly announcing to the entire office that he’s going to use the restroom, ‘but not just to pee!’

Looking over the role specifics and this is pretty powerful:
You are the Town Cop. Each night, you may alignment check one other player. You may roleclaim and infodump only once during the game. When you infodump, you may reveal the alignment of no more than two other players. Once you infodump, you will become vanilla for the remainder of the game. You must infodump before the mafia is down to their last living player or you will not be allowed to reveal their alignment if you know it.
Because no one else can claim or into dump, this role is functionally an innocent child with extra ability to clear x people.

Which makes it the role mafia will yearn to seek out and find most. If that role can survive into D3, claiming might be most efficient to town health should we miseliminate today. Even if we do find mafia today, it might be most benefit to infodunp D3 anyway. I feel like D4 is pressing the luck.

What does everyone else think the best play is with the cop?

You are Pegging, the Mafia power bottom. Each night you may peg any player of your choice from using a night pegging. This pegging power is trumped by the Town Doctor's pegging power.

I think the most optimal approach probably depends on the player. I think it’s natural for players like you or me to make the call to infodump on day 3. Some other players might feel they could take more of a risk on waiting, and I suspect us talking about it is unlikely to move the needle of the cop if that’s their style.
