BotF XVII: U-Pick Your Poison - D6 - Lil Monsta (And the Evil Team) Wins!

why

Amelia as the Puzzlemaster after guessing received Atlas’ name.
If Amelia is the host then nobody is actually puzzledrunk and Amelia would also be poisoned.

Sure it’s technically possible to tell Amelia the legit demon there but it feels a tad wild

No, I mean, we would have no way to know if Amelia is the leeched because Lleech abilities are very dumb :sob:

You can’t meta the storytellers.

if puzzlemaster is poisoned then is no one puzzledrunk?

I mean - You can try, but it’s not going to go well for you :stuck_out_tongue:

@jared from subway

As far as I know puzzledrunkedness is a set-up thing much like marionette and drunk and therefore someone would still be puzzledrunk.

If you are poisoned your ability malfunctions.

If this is to an investigative character (E.G. Balloonist, Dreamer etc.) then this means the ST may lie to you.

In the case of a more mechanical and utility ability (such as the Puzzlemaster making someone drunk) this does not happen.

Well then BoTF is actually a whacky game that a select few are playing!

Or well I guess the STs run it this way and that’s what matters in this case

:sob:

Set-up abilities aren’t affected by poison that would be really silly

“haha lol I poisoned the baron so there’s not actually 2 outsiders”

The Puzzledrunk isn’t a part of setup.

[+2 outsiders] is the setup ability

Puzzlemaster on the other hand does not have these square brackets and instructions inside. Which therefore means it’s not setup as much as it is for Atheist or Baron or Lil Monsta. The bracketed things are required setup changes.

It’s magnus’ game I’m just here to post cat slimes over and over again so you listen to magnus not me

So therefore since we’d be running it via Magnus’ rulings, then there would be no puzzledrunk if Amelia is hosted.

is there any reason this doesn’t work
