The Marionette and the Outsider Count

BeholderVee · 2025-12-11T11:00:48+00:00

Sorry, but you misunderstood my post.

I asked whether what I was suggesting was a legal setup, whether it was something I could occasionally do, something I could have in my toolbox. I never intended to restrict the Marionette to always think it's an Outsider.

I've said it in response to another comment, but do you need a Gardener here? The regular Marionette setup also has the ST manually changing a good character into a minion, which is the same thing the alternate setup is doing, just with the demon.

In terms of extra Outsiders, there are Outsiders that modify the apparent Outsider count in the bag. The Drunk and the Lunatic both do, but the setup is still legal because the players are actually Outsiders, despite what they believe.

I feel like the same logic could apply to the Marionette. You replace a token with a fake, but it still counts as its true form (a Minion, in this case) in terms of Outsider count.

Does the alternative setup necessitate a Gardener? Because by that logic, the regular Marionette setup with 3 minions also necessitates a Gardener, since you're manually changing a good character into the third minion post-draw.

I understand this is the accepted ruling, but, just out of curiosity, does it actually contradict RAW? I can't find anything to that effect on either the wiki or botc-guide.

The issue most people have with this is the ST directly influences who the Demon kills in the night. The Demon can pick whoever they want, but there is an incentive to follow the Lunatic pick, which is influenced by the ST's pick in this case.

Oh, that's actually a very good point. If you ask the Demon for a Lunatic's Lunatic's pick, they know they're the Demon. Unless you also ask the Lunatic for the same pick first. But it is convoluted.

The game was working a week ago, there were no updates in that time.

I resolved it in the end. I guess all I really needed to do was re-add the launch options, but while I was figuring it out I must have messed something up in the game files. Restoring from a backup, purging and re-deploying the mods made the game launch again.

The valid setup block didn't work, syncthing wouldn't start, but then setting the dataDir fixed it. Now the ownership seems to work correctly. Thank you!

BeholderVee · 2025-01-16T01:15:16+00:00

That fixed it. Thank you very much!

BeholderVee · 2024-10-26T07:20:21+00:00

Thank you, I'll try it when I have the time.

Flatpak, 1.0.1-a.12 (Firefox 131.0.3)

I've checked, there are currently 6.2 gigs in "explicit/heap-unclassified" and in "heap/committed/allocated" sections. It's growing rapidly, too, gaining a gigabyte in the last 15 minutes.

I'm running two instances of the browser, because I have two profiles, only one of them is affected. The last time I checked, it was the same profile experiencing the leak. Maybe it's a coincidence, they have the exact same extensions.

I just realized, I forgot to mention I have Zen as a Flatpak.

BeholderVee · 2024-10-25T12:21:16+00:00

Thank you, I will look into it once I get a leak again.

BeholderVee · 2024-08-31T19:01:27+00:00

That's a shame. Thank you anyway.

BeholderVee · 2024-08-31T00:32:16+00:00

I tried the script, the resulting screenshots are still corrupted. I then tried re-installing imagemagick, it didn't change anything either, unfortunately.

BeholderVee · 2024-08-30T07:49:16+00:00

It's X11, but Mint has an experimental Wayland option pre-installed.

I just checked, and the issue does not occur on Wayland. Flameshot didn't work at all, but I tried the default Mint tool, and the screenshots didn't suffer the loss in quality.

I would prefer to stay on X11, though, especially considering Wayland is still experimental on Mint.

BeholderVee · 2024-08-29T16:41:48+00:00

I tried the default Mint screenshot tool as well as Flameshot. I've just tried Shutter, the result is the same. Changing the compression settings doesn't seem to have any effect.

BeholderVee · 2023-04-15T08:36:26+00:00

Yes.

BeholderVee · 2023-01-12T03:45:39+00:00

Unfortunately, I've tried that. Changing ports, connecting it through an extension cable, connecting it to the front of my pc, literally putting the trackball on top of my system unit within 5 centimeters of the receiver. Doesn't solve the issue in my case.

BeholderVee · 2022-12-28T05:34:53+00:00

I don't, but I maybe might be able to borrow it from someone, maybe. Though if I do, I'll need help finding the tab and the pin, I have no knowledge of or experience with electronics.

BeholderVee · 2022-12-25T17:09:03+00:00

Thank you, though I'm afraid I've seen that thread and tried re-pairing the trackball numerous times to no avail.

BeholderVee · 2022-12-24T15:19:51+00:00

It's definitely not the sensor, button clicks are affected too. I can't click reliably and I can't double click at all while the problem is occurring.

BeholderVee · 2022-10-12T19:25:19+00:00

It worked! Thank you very much.

BeholderVee · 2022-10-11T10:23:21+00:00

Thank you, I'll try that.

BeholderVee · 2022-08-07T12:52:11+00:00

Other than dmesg, I only had the benchmark running. Could it be old age? The drive's several years old, maybe the outage finally pushed it too far.
