Lagging Tail

Summary

Each night*, choose a player: they die. Good abilities yield information based on yesterday's dawn (arbitrary on the first day & night).

The Lagging Tail delays all learnt information by a day.

Information good players receive during the night is based on the game state from the dawn of the last day.
Information good players learn on the first day and night is arbitrary.

How to Run

On the first night, if the Lagging Tail is in play, you may give false information to all players who learn information. At the end of each night, take a note of the current Grimoire.

Each night after the first, wake the Lagging Tail. The Lagging Tail points at any player. Put the Lagging Tail to sleep. The chosen player dies - put the Lagging Tail's DEAD reminder by the chosen player's character token in the Grimoire and put a shroud on it.

When a good player learns information on any night but the first, look at your notes for the state of the Grimoire the night before. Give that player true information based on those notes whenever you would reference the current Grimoire.

When running a Lagging Tail game, it may be easiest to take a picture of the Grimoire at the end of each night.

Examples

One the first night, the Empath wakes and learns a "0" even though they are sitting next to one evil player. The next night, they learn a "1".

The second night, 2 player's abilities worked abnormally. The third night, 3 worked abnormally. However, on the third night the Mathematician learns a "2", as their information is based on the second night. They will learn a "3" on the fourth night.

On the second night, a Fang Gu kills the Sweetheart, turning them into the Fang Gu. On the third day, the Klutz dies and chooses the player who started as the Sweetheart. As they aren't learning information, their team still loses - despite the Sweetheart not having been evil the night before.
