Budding Paranoia

Full Script

Stoke

Notes

Budding Paranoia is a script without any hard confirmations or extra kills where you know the demon is feeding you misinformation but it is difficult to figure out how. Town must work together to see whether a demon is hurting all their info, some of their info or if you can even trust the rest of town. There is no outsider manipulation built into the script, as such its recommended to run the script with a Sentinel. This script was heavily inspired by the scripts "The Krabby Patty Secret Formula" and "Traveling Puppet Show". Interaction Clarifications for Vortox (or at least how i run them): Vortox -> Pixie : A pixie learns a not in play townsfolk, a random player is assigned the mad token. When that player dies the pixie gets the role that was shown to them, if they were mad as that character. Vortox -> Fortune Teller : Red Herring and Recluse can register as the demon and therefore the ft could get a no from them, even though it is technically true info.
