Black player: how to look consistent

Why this matters. The black player's task is to convince the table of a peaceful version of themselves without giving away their partners.

What to do. Build your own position from real observations. Listen to the arguments of the red players; choose believable conflicts; check in advance that your new words do not contradict the old ones. Sometimes distancing yourself from a partner is possible, but it is not a universal rule.

How it sounds. "I disagree with eight: they defend three without a specific reason. My version is three and eight, but I am ready to answer objections."

Practice. Write down three consistent speeches of a black player in different rounds.

Typical mistakes. Defending partners mechanically, or changing a candidate for no reason.
