Hi,
I’m not sure if this mechanic is intended, but I’ve noticed that sometimes (not sure if it happens 100% of the time) when a Blackmailer places the fake marker on a smaller number—for example, fake on 7 and real on 8—and the player with number 7 chooses not to pay the bribe, the Blackmailer can choose not to reveal the mark(which is the logical play). However, the game then loops back and asks the number 7 player again whether they want to bribe, and it never ends unless the Blackmailer is eventually forced to reveal the fake mark, which also causes the real mark on 8 to have no effect.
When I say the real mark has no effect, I mean that after the number 8 player gathers their resources, the game does not offer the option to ask whether they want to bribe the blackmailer. It simply skips that step as if nothing happened.
Is this how it’s supposed to work, or is it a bug?
A bit more detail:
1. I’ve encountered this issue more than once.
2. I only play 1v1, and this situation has only happened in 1v1 games.
