Is there any reason to keep the identity of the holders of regular potatoes hidden?
I believe the potatoes aren’t active Day 1? So I guess at this point it isn’t super useful info. But also why disclose? They all are required to be thrown besides the couch and rotten.
More information is usually better for town, unless there is a corresponding detriment.
Not sure if humour or truism...

In a vacuum, it seems townie to me.

What if we just all gave our potatoes to one person and then they'd be guaranteed to die the next day?
idt they would be guaranteed to die, just guaranteed to have a 25% chance of dying
I think the explosion chance is calculated independently for each potato, so with enough potatoes it would be pretty likely that they die. I’m not amazing at math so please correct me if wrong- 75% chance of survival, so multiply .75 for each potato? So for example someone with 3 potatoes is .75 x .75 x .75 = .421875. Subtract that from 1 and someone with 3 potatoes at EoN has a 57.8125% chance of going boom.

What if we shredded them and made hashbrowns to share and then everyone only exploded a little?

Nah, Jamie’s the scum. He’s frustrated D&W called him on something that is correct he’s scum but was factually incorrect.

Isn’t each one predetermined to explode at a different phase?

I thought they were each predetermined to activate at a different phase, upon which they have a 25% chance of exploding at the end of day/night.

Yeah, you’re picturing me replying off the cuff to a post about something that could reveal PRs and then checking to see what the mechanics are around PRs only to recall that there are, in fact, no PRs because I replied off the cuff to a post about something that could reveal PRs and then checked to see what the mechanica are around PRs only to recall that there are, in fact, no PRs.
