we would have not allowed that to happen because it would have been stupid

YBW could’ve logically turned Mist into the Golem and double-killed right there.

Wait, no. I keep forgetting YBW wasn’t already a Psychopath.

Anyway, there are inherent problems with an evil Atheist, and while I think the Storytellers did well to limit the damage one could’ve done this game, I think the number of arbitrary what-ifs illustrates the problem with the idea. I would personally warn against putting a Pit Hag and Atheist in the same game again, if not the same script, but I’m not going to grudge Bellatrix and Amelia for it. This game was fun, had cool flavour, even if I wish other townsfolk had been more active. Congratulations to the evil team. I’m going to stop thinking about this before my brain turns to mush.

basically
ive been hashing it out in the unofficial botc over whether you should or shouldnt do this

and i think that atheist is a character to be run with the players in mind first
there are a lot of “what ifs” for sure, but most of those what ifs involve us letting things run unchecked
which we wouldn’t have done, because we cared about you as players
we wanted to use the atheist to make sure the players had a good time

i hope we didn’t breach any of your trusts’

See if your STs are smart about it, it’s no problem.

And if you don’t wanna do it, remember that with the Atheist powers you can zap the Atheist out of play.

ybw had modest control over the rulebreaks because we thought that would let her have a good time
we did a crap ton of stuff behind the scenes to try to make sure everyone else had a good time as well

My plan is to die n1 in every FM game as Town, unless I have some way to protect myself (like randing Roleblocker, just consecutively rb Mafia it’s not that hard), and never die as Mafia. That’s everyone’s dream.
