the consensus is “yes but either deal with it or rerack the game”
The marioniete isn’t an outsider
From my understanding, a marioniete does not affect outsider count because a marioniete is an evil
this is true in text/forum games
for irl play though you need to give the marionette a blue token, and you need to have them sat next to the demon
which is difficult when people get their roles from pulling out of a bag
you cant know beforehand which role the marionette thinks they are
if the Demon neighbours the 2 Outsiders in a 12p game and an Outsider becomes the Marionette, you only have 1 real Outsider
Ah
That’s how Marionette works, yep.
As politician my main concern was making sure I wasn’t a marioniete
In the U-Pick game, everyone decided against Amelia as the Marionette because they thought the Outsider count was fixed.
Marionette Magician.
marionette heretic is the worst of all worlds
I mean, yes, but at least they know to play for evil to win anyway.
The heretic who is winning for their team
how about
marionette damsel
double oomfies
Evil wouldn’t even know a damsel was in play lmao
Magician Marionette:
“Hey, you’re my Minion.”
“HAH! You fell for it, fool!”
“You’re the Marionette.”
“Magician can register as the Marionette.”
“There’s only one other Minion.”
“I don’t believe you, you’re covering up for yourself now.”
the funny part is
you have the damsel token
someone walks up to you and tells you youre their marionette
what do you do
You just say “sure, that’s cool. I won’t tell you my role but I’ll do what anyone else would do. Who’s the Minion?”
Go up to them. “Is there a Damsel?”
This is why I lie to my Marionettes. They can lose with me unexpectedly.
(Have never played with a Marionette as the Demon.)
