I consistently lose and always fail the vibe checks. I have given up on trying to win and now I sow chaos for fun when people insist on playing them.
It’s a fun trick to enjoy the game even if winning is off the table.
I’m really good at these games. I assume because I’m always wearing a mask, when it’s time to pretend not to be the killer I just wear another mask, nobody ever guesses me unless I did something that very obviously points to me. It’s crazy how it feels just like me pretending to be normal day to day.
i have the same problem, but i figured a way to use it for the long game. if we play several rounds, i am vocal in predicting the game based on chances. usually i get killed by the town. but more often than not my predictions were correct. so when i become werwolf a few games in, i remind people how good my “instinct” is, and usually they trust me then >:)
I had a town of salem phase a while ago. I thought it was hilarious to be shit like a serial killer who left cryptic and nonsense death notes. I uninstalled the game and never put it back when I realized I wasn’t having fun.
I have won Secret Hitler three times as Hitler. People are quick to trust me because they know I hate lying, and the people who know I am decent at lying look to my fiancée to see if she is trusting me - which means i only have to work to fool one person at the table.
Whenever I play with other autistic people the game tends to just become a discussion of probabilities and game theory, to the detriment of all non-autistic people at the table. I’m always having a blast though.
I remember a game of Avalon where a fellow autist declared that the game was trivial and told us his strategy for deducing the traitor. His mistake was making a hard assumption on the players’ risk tolerance. The round where I was traitor, I meta-gamed the shit out it. It was hilarious watching his confusion when nothing panned out the way he thought.
