ONESHOT MENTIONED

I feel like converting a Minion slot into an Outsider slot is unintuitive and unintended but I like the idea.

By the way, I checked the almanac. Are you sticking by what you said?

The almanac implies a few interesting details.
It implies the Final Girl can be guessed even if dead, the Girl Next Door will arbitrarily protect exactly one nominated player each night, and the Punk triggers after death like a Ravenkeeper. (So if attacked by a Demon, they’ll still die.)

Except there’s also a contradiction regarding Martial Artist. The example mentions protecting the Shabaloth from the Devil’s Advocate, which causes the Shabaloth to die if executed the next day. I feel like there are mistakes here.

wait
Final girl being guessed while dead kinda sounds bad, I was thinking when I was joining if I randed final girl and I was doing a bad job cuz I got in a double claim or whatever I could just try to get myself executed since it’s before nominations and I feel like that just removes that sort of play

Script: https://www.bloodstar.xyz/p/Mana/UMaST_Update8/script.json?7acbc64e
Almanac: https://www.bloodstar.xyz/p/Mana/UMaST_Update8/almanac.html

Here’s what it lists as examples:

In the Final 6, an execution goes through and brings it into Final 5. Once the morning comes, a person was killed in the night, making it the Final 4. The Final Girl declares themselves as The Final Girl and Good wins.

The Final Girl dies Night 2, but decides to bluff that they were the Gambler to keep safe.

I don’t think the author intended that by the character’s ability text, but as I said: some of the examples are weird.

I find it interesting how the Demons are negative-utility.

Wdym?

Slasher adds a possible loss-condition and two players they can’t kill at night.
Dream Eater exposes their character to a player each night*.
Vizitor removes their allies. (I still like this one because you could just go up to someone and say “I’ve turned you, I’m the Demon, let’s cooperate or whatever.)
Fanatic poisoning can be traced semi-easily in this setup.

Wait
The person knows who the demon is?
I thought they were mad that they thought they did

This one’s weird, because you aren’t able to direct their suspicion like you can with the Harpy.
What if the player you turn mad is just correct about who the Demon is and you force their hand?

They would know which Demon character it is.

CRichard’s mainly running this script because he won in a longform game of it, I think.

Their theming relates around character typing. I’m not sure how well this works in practice.
