Here's a list of my spreadsheet I was keeping throughout the gameOriginally Posted by Endless
They're all in my previous post : Dagger, Buster Sword and Umbrella.
I kept a tally of all the suggestions, and the players that responded to it. Any items that were green were my confirmed items. Any items that were orange were my "assumed" items based on voting patterns.
Narrowing down the weapons was the most difficult part. Whenever I Suggested, for 4/6 turns I received location cards. This made narrowing down weapons and characters difficult. Items such as the Machine Gun and Umbrella that were only suggested 1 time each were associated to players that I knew the cards of. This made narrowing down these items difficult. Characters too were difficult as a side effect of having mostly location cards.
The real issues I had were narrowing down both, Vivi and Tifa's Cards. Tifa had only 1 reveal in the game which was of the megaphone. I could deduce her one card based on other player cards, but could not confirm the remaining 2 cards she had (Shauna tells me her cards were Megaphone, Nailbat and Iifa Tree). Similar story with Vivi, as you only had 1 reveal throughout the game besides my own guess. Both of which you revealed the dagger.
I suppose your method was similar to mine. I assume that was the main reason you reached the correct conclusions first are based on 2 main reasons. Firstly, having 3 weapon cards allowed you to narrow the largest field first, and secondly and having the buster sword suggested in 19% of all guesses would have helped narrow down some player cards.
The only thing I didn't really keep track of is "What characters do not have each card." I would look through the list of suggested players and say what characters revealed that they didn't have a card when making my assumptions, but I never compiled a list such as "Buster sword is not owned by Cecil, Zell, Tifa, Terra, Auron, Bartz, Lulu, so it must be owned by Vivi or is the murder weapon" for example.
