Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall: How to Spot Scammers and Dishonest Petitioners Guide

Here's a quick guide on how to spot scammers and dishonest petitioners in Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall.

Handing out gold to every crying villager that walks into your throne room is a guaranteed way to starve your castle. Figuring out how to spot scammers and dishonest petitioners in Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall is mandatory if you want to survive the winter.

Con artists know you have a soft heart, so they will lie right to your face to steal royal supplies. You cannot just guess who is telling the truth, so here is how you catch the liars before they rob you blind.

Look at the Visual Details

Don't just mash the dialogue button without actually looking at the person standing in front of your throne. Scammers usually wear surprisingly nice leather boots or have perfectly clean wool clothes while begging for starvation money.

If a guy claims his farm just burned down but he doesn't have a single speck of soot on his face, he is totally playing you. Kick him out immediately and save your precious bread for the peasants who actually look like they survived a real disaster.

Catch the Story Changes

Liars almost always slip up if you press them for more details instead of just handing over the cash right away. Always use the dialogue option to ask for more information before making your final ruling.

A real victim keeps their story straight, while a scammer will accidentally change the location of their village or the name of their sick wife. The second you notice their facts shifting around, shut the conversation down and send them packing.

Call Their Bluff with Guards

Sometimes you get a petitioner who is just too good at acting, making it impossible to tell if they actually need help. When you are stuck, offer to send your royal guards to investigate the problem instead of just giving them money.

Honest people will drop to their knees and thank you for the armed escort. A scammer will immediately panic, make up a weird excuse about why the guards shouldn't come, and try to leave the hall.

Use Your Specialists

If a random traveler asks for a massive pile of gold to lift a dark curse, do not just open the vault. Those high-stakes magical requests are almost always elaborate traps meant to drain your late-game treasury.

Tell them you are sending the royal witch or the hunter to handle the monster instead of handing over the cash. If they suddenly back out or get defensive, you just saved yourself fifty gold coins and a huge headache.

Keeping your treasury safe simply comes down to watching petitioner appearances, pressing for story details, and offering guards or specialists instead of blind coin payouts.

FAQ

A. No, asking for details never hurts your standing, so always press them before opening your purse.
