making the butcher ceremad and immediately prompting the cannibal to nominate again (it probably doesn’t work like this but let me dream)

It won’t make an evil F3 insta-end the game happen because that’s not how F3 actually works but it will make roles that vaguely detect “evil” (not minions/demons because I imagine it’s not actually registering as either of those) 10x more garbage

making the gnome ceremad so that it is suddenly announced who the cannibal’s amigo is

hey question so if vortox was in the game under this situation

You do in fact announce a false amigo

No i have no fucking idea what counts for letting the cannibal kill in this case

Going by picie…you put the reminder token on a player and then lie to them

by vortox grandmother precedent there would still be a true amigo. but no one would know who they are, including the canni. good luck!

Poppy Grower - Cannibal jinx
New jinx for the Poppy Grower + Cannibal:
“If the Cannibal eats the Poppy Grower, then dies or loses the Poppy Grower ability, the Demon and Minions learn each other that night.”
The jinx is on the Cannibal.
This should make this character combo a little fairer for the evil team. I usually don’t add jinxes just for balance, but this one is different as the previous unfairness was due to the good team finding a loophole, which is a feels-bad moment for the evil team. This jinx should still benefit the good team by delaying the evil team learning each other, but keep the fun of the character

New jinx for the Psychopath + Golem:

“If the Psychopath is mad as the Golem, the Psychopath has the Golem ability instead.”
Both the Psychopath and the Golem are in the same edition. My close-to-original intent with these characters was that they would be indistinguishable from each other, so that when the Golem kills a player, the good team is left wondering… “is this actually the Golem?”
I wasn’t able to find a way to word these characters to accomplish this, however. Perhaps between now and the edition release, something will make itself known.
For now, let’s give this jinx a try.
If the Psychopath wants to appear to be the Golem, all they need to do is be mad that they are the Golem, and have the Storyteller pay attention. When the Psychopath first nominates, the nominee dies, and the Psychopath can be executed normally. If the Psychopath wants to regain their Psychopath ability again, all they need to do is be mad that they are the Psychopath. Easy.
This jinx should make this character combination much more interesting, and make the Golem, a notoriously difficult-to-bluff and confirmable character, a little more suspicious and flexible.
Let’s see how this goes. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, then it is easy to cancel the jinx in a few weeks.

you know i think making the golem function as an outsider without an open minion sacrifing their entire ability feels like a better decision

people are more likely to execute golems now tbf

on scripts with psycho on them yes

this doesnt need to be another king choirboy thing

…also couldnt they just make it so the psychopath triggers kills by nominating?

golem and psychopath are on the same edition

litten how is that gonna work on EVERYTHING ELSE

it’s not

psycho-magician-golem scripts now have a breaking strategy

the most sought after script trio, i know
