I assume that most people whomst'd've use this wiki are big fans of ToS, and so am I. Now, that means that most, if not, all of us don't play Classic anymore due to it being filled with sterotypically "stupid" players. I admit that I think the same, and I mostly play Ranked and Custom due to that matter. You can find me on ToS, my username is "awesomeandiknowit15".

Anyway, I have decided to conduct an experiment that sends us back in time when we all at some point, have played Classic as newbies. But it's in the present. Basically, this is what I did.

I'll be grading the events that happen in the game like grades would be graded in school. A higher grade in school means the Townies have more wits. A lower grade means the Townies fit their sterotypical definition of "stupid". The grades will be either upped or lowered off of the previous grade.

I hopped into a Classic lobby, and the game started shortly. I decided to use a subtle name, which ended up being "Hello". I observed that a lot of people were using rather obnoxious names, and that didn't surprise me. (Grade: B)

I ended up as the Serial Killer, which is notable for this summary.

As the game then officially kicked off, I noticed that the customizations of players were quite default, excluding their names.

I recall that people in chat said some random things the first little while of the game, which could be a distraction to other Townies. (Grade: C+)

Early in game, important Townies such as the Investigator, Jailor, Doctor, and others were killed early. Why couldn't this Town care for their powerful beings?! (Grade: C)

The somewhat obvious Jester got lynched and haunted the Framer. (Grade: C-)

This, of course, was good for me. I set my death note to three random Townies, and named them as the members of the Mafia. I'm pretty sure that the Town actually considered this information for a brief moment, even though it was coming from a Serial Killer's death note. (Grade: D)

I ended up getting the Godfather killed, and the Town didn't even question my role. But still, for them having some braincells, I'll raise the grade. (Grade: C-)

The Executioner didn't even try to make progress towards their goal in chat, and eventually turned into a Jester, and was killed by the Mafioso promoted Godfather. (Grade: D)

At this point, only me the Serial Killer, the revealed Sheriff, the Mafioso promoted Godfather, and two other people who were Townies were left.

I claimed Medium, and the real Medium didn't even stnad up to my claim. The Town had no problem with my claim even though I didn't say anything else. (Grade: F)

I killed the Sheriff.

I got the last Mafia lynched, the Town was somewhat smart again during this brief period of time, so again, I'll raise the grade for it. (Grade: D)

I Lookout revealed their identity, and I whispered to them, encouraging them to lynch the last other person because they were the Serial Killer, who was clearly Medium in my point of view.

Now there was only me the Serial Killer, a now-revealed Lookout, and the person who was the Medium. The Medium only NOW spoke up, but it was too late, because I had easily gained the Lookout's trust. (Grade: F)

The Medium was lynched, and the Lookout discovered that I was the true evildoer. I killed the Lookout that next night, and won the game with the successful Jester from earlier.

(OVERALL GRADE: D-)

It looks like the overall intelligence of Classic players hasn't improved. I have to be honest, this isn't surprising to me.

I encourage everyone reading this to build off of this experiment, which means, hop into a non-Coven Classic game and record your findings! Even if you die, observe the actions of the Townies closely and grade them just like I did! Thanks for reading!
