How to Play
Section titled How to Play- Always remember, just because you’re confused doesn’t mean you will always receive false information. Confused abilities receive arbitrary information at the discretion of the Narrator. However, in most cases you are likely to be given information that will benefit the Subversive team the most.
- Try to work out how much of your information is true or false to help determine whether you are the Tulpa, but be careful! If you’re obsessed about being the Tulpa, you will be dismissed.
- If you believe you are the Tulpa, sometimes it may be worth intentionally being obsessed as to be dismissed and prove your role. Be mindful however, as this will potentially waste a day for the Loyalist team.
- If you have a non-informational ability that clearly has no effect when you use it, such as an Exorcist choosing a known Spirit, then you are almost certainly the Tulpa or malfunctioning.
How to Narrate
Section titled How to Narrate- Choose a role that the Tulpa is confused as. Do not tell them they are the Tulpa, tell them they are the role you chose. Treat the Tulpa as if they were role you chose, following the rules of confusion. If the Tulpa is obsessed that they are the Tulpa, dismiss them immediately.
- You can provide the Tulpa with any arbitrary information that corresponds to the role they believe they have. However, be cautious about game balance; their ability should primarily be Detrimental to the Loyalist team.
