Firstly, I definitely don't think one needs to be a 'strong master' to have a rating of 500+ on this site. I have never used an engine for a game here, and have an Elo of 509 here vs a rating of only 1700-1800 on chess.com, so that inference is not quite true. I think the Elo system on this site is ...

How is the following situation resolved? WW has an ov lover. The end game has 4 people alive - WW and lover, another WW, another OV.

In a game of say 12 players (3 WW) - at max one will get 3 duplicates (WW speaking out a role at random) so automatically the village has ide...

Next to your name, on the right, is a small icon for theft. Click on the theft card and then on this icon, and you get the message "XXX has prepared a theft". Thereafter, once the game ends, you can select one person to steal one gold nugget from.
