Speech workshop

First round: a cautious version

"I am number 3. There is no exact data yet. Number 7 changed their assessment of number 5 twice and did not explain why. I will ask number 7 a direct question. Number 9, on the other hand, explained their vote in detail; for now I count them as more likely red."

The coach reviews. What is known? Only the words spoken. What is assumed? The colour of the card. How do you check? Ask number 7 about the new information. Exercise: restate this speech in 30 seconds, keeping the fact, the hypothesis and the question.

A civilian corrects a mistake

"Yesterday I suspected number 4 because of a vote against number 8. Now I see that number 4 had explained that vote in advance. I withdraw my earlier argument. It matters more to me to check the position of number 2."

The coach reviews. A strong player does not hold on to a mistake to save face. Exercise: restate this speech in 30 seconds, keeping the fact, the hypothesis and the question.

The sheriff reports two checks

"I am sheriff number 6. The first check, number 2, is red. The second, number 9, is black. I checked number 9 because of the contradictions in their votes. I suggest we first test the logic of my version against the earlier rounds."

The coach reviews. A reveal should be short, in order of time and tied to the day's play. Exercise: restate this speech in 30 seconds, keeping the fact, the hypothesis and the question.

The mafia plays believably

"I do not like number 5, because first they demanded that number 8 be removed, and then they did not support that candidacy themselves. I want to hear their explanation."

The coach reviews. A black player can use true facts to create a wrong overall picture. Exercise: restate this speech in 30 seconds, keeping the fact, the hypothesis and the question.

The don prepares the team

"The base order of shots: 7, 4, 9. If a target has already left, we use the replacement agreed in advance. Without a clear signal we do not change the plan."

The coach reviews. The team plan must be equally clear to all three. Exercise: restate this speech in 30 seconds, keeping the fact, the hypothesis and the question.

Two sheriffs

"Both call number 8 red. But number 3 voted against number 8 yesterday, though they claim to have checked them already. Number 6, on the other hand, defended number 8 before revealing. Let us ask number 3 what explains their vote."

The coach reviews. Compare not the acting but the history of actions that can be checked. Exercise: restate this speech in 30 seconds, keeping the fact, the hypothesis and the question.
