Shirov's Bishop Sacrifice

Full Script

Evan (PlayoffBeard)

Notes

Seat 1 must be the Bishop. If 4 or more players are alive, the Bishop cannot be exiled. This is a Bishop concept script. The intent is for players to know and embrace that the Bishop Traveller will be in play -- and that the Bishop's presence is going to alter the gameflow. Bootlegger: Seat 1 must be the Bishop. If 4 or more players are alive, the Bishop cannot be exiled. The Bishop reads, "Only the Storyteller can nominate. At least 1 opposing player must be nominated each day." If the Bishop is good, the Storyteller must nominate at least 1 evil player each day. Try to mix this into other noms while paying attention to Town's suspicions. The Bishop, in a way, is like a daily Noble.
