Does picking a Traitor for my squad help or hurt?

Roles never score, but Traitors don't get murdered — a secret Traitor is a structurally strong pick until the round table catches them. That's priced into the game on purpose.

What counts as a recruitment?

Someone becomes a Traitor that episode. An on-screen seduction that gets refused is not a recruitment — "no one" is the correct Recruit Watch call that week.

What if my Blind Slate pick is recruited later?

It scores nothing. The slate is about day-one roles only — a later recruit was Faithful on day one.

Why is there no prediction card for the premiere?

Nobody has met the cast before the premiere, so those picks would be pure luck. The Blind Slate is the premiere game; weekly cards start with round 2.

Ties break on most weekly wins, then the earliest first pick submitted.

The premiere has no card; weekly calls start with round 2.Seal the Blind SlateBefore any role airs, call which 3 of the cast production made day-one Traitors — +8 each when the premiere's turret scene reveals them.

Murders and banishments never do. Points already earned are never taken back.The spoiler shieldStream it a day late or a week late: until you tap "I've watched — reveal," you see no murders, no banishments, no recruitments, no standings movement.
