this is my intuition too, with the caveat that i don't think using the chariot n1 would be beneficial to town?

Oh right I was going to do a D1 Balatro gimmick but forgot in the like 6 hours between coming up with the idea and the game actually opening. Great shame.

What's the best way to play the rechargeable powers?

If I had one of those, I would not be so presumptuous as to assume I will live so long that I can use it TWICE. Plus the mechanism of getting recharged is not likely to happen to you without explicitly asking for it, so I would be treating it as more or less a oneshot.

Per the not expecting to live long enough to use a good power thing, I would probably use it early but not if that would totally blow it on a suboptimal use. So it's weighing the pros and cons. If I had such an ability, which I might, I'd play it by ear based on what happens during the day

I assume no one will claim to actually be the Wheel of Fortune (which seems to be number 10 and NOT number 21).

There's going to be some chance that Wheel shows up as the daily card. It's also plausible that scum have it, or that scum have discarded it and know it won't pop up. Or it could just never show up.

My intuition suggests "use them N1 to maximize the likelihood of a recharge" but that might not be right.

hmm on second thought this feels like it could be fishing for something

who does it actually benefit to have people state their views on this? scum would obviously like to kill power roles before they get to do anything, or block/redirect (if they have any of the magician/justice/chariot) them on the night they're active. town wheel of fortune would like it if people use their roles early so there's the most opportunity to recharge them, and the world of either alignment would have an interest in when people use their roles. town roles with night actions might also be interested in trying to mislead scum about when they'll use their role

that isn't really indicative of anything in particular though

that isn't really indicative of anything in particular though

A few plausible scenarios:
1) I've got a rechargeable role and I'm trying to hint at it or loud breadcrumb such that I can plausibly ask to get recharged later.
2) I've got a rechargeable role and I'm trying to figure out how to play it.
3) I may or may not have a rechargeable role and I'm curious what the right way to play one might be.
4) I may or may not have a rechargeable role but I want to ensure that the people who do have rechargeable roles actually put some thought into when and how they should use them.
5) I'm the Tower and I'm hoping someone "slips" in a believable fashion.
6) I'm the World and I'm trying to find someone to recharge.

Or some combo of the above.

Just asking the question originally shouldn't be strongly alignment indicative for me, I think.

I don't think it's even possible to become a stump in this game. I suppose if Death is the day card all the players in Limbo could be considered stumps.
