Did anyone see a sk win in DH?

Well i really find it extremly diffucullt a sk win in DH since nobody wants him alive plus 2 groups who can see who is who makes sk to hide extremly hard plus not enough random roles to false claim , maybe jester/survivor if the real netural is jester and not culted.

So anyone see or do it?

Yeah, I've seen it happen a few times.

Part of the real trick is that the SK should fake claim citizen as long as he can and once he ends up on the stand, he should try and claim SK. Due to the speed at which the cult spreads in DH, it actually hurts the town to eliminate the serial killer too early, because he'll keep the cult numbers down. Too many DH games, I see the town immediately waste days trying to root out the SK, ignoring the cult spreading, and losing the whole game that way. While the SK is a threat to town and does eventually need to be removed, I think many players overestimate the threat of the SK during Dark Heresy. One kill per night isn't THAT bad, especially when he's got a chance of removing witches or cult at the same time.

To clarify, the cult converts every night, and almost no one is immune to cult conversion. Starting with two cultists, the cult can essentially convert every night, replacing whoever was lynched during the day that night, and making it very difficult to figure out fake claims. Also, there's two witches, so more pessimistic schools of thought would note that the Cult essentially starts with 4 votes, and gains a fifth the first night. The serial killer kills means that the cult can fall 'behind' in conversions and lose vote power, because they can not only lose a member during the day, they can also lose a member at night(which can hurt them even further if it ruins thier conversion attempt).

In theory, the Mason Leader could also fulfill such a role(and with less of a risk to town), but in practice, he's got too few charges to be effective for long at this, assuming he didn't use them to recruit initial citizens, which is generally a better option.
