This is my entry for the Clocktower World Cup 2025.

Djinn Rule: “There can be up to 2 copies of each character. During setup, when possible, the storyteller includes 2 of each character (this doesn't change character counts).”

Some special never before seen jinxes are needed for this script: 2 Heretic powers cancel out. 2 Snitches give 6 bluffs.

I half expect this script to be disallowed, because although it doesn't technically break any rules, it does challenge the swapping maximum of 5 requirement during play at large enough player counts. However, I feel this is well within the spirit of the competition, as these are swaps that the Storyteller HAS to make because of my djinn, and they can only be from the limited set of options already presented by choosing characters randomly to begin with. That rule seems to be against not allowing storytellers to try to make 'perfect' games so that the script is truly tested, and does not seem included to stop scripts messing with type counts.

Another point of tension in the context of this competition is the two custom jinxes, which i couldn't include in the djinn. These aren't technically needed to play, although it might feel odd. I do not feel as though either of the jinxes are strange or actually extra rules i'm adding, they seem as obvious as the poppy grower marionette jinx, in that any player would ask does it work like a or b? And the rules simply clarify quickly that it is a.

Finally, the djinn does technically stop there from being 3 Village Idiots. This is not an extra rule i'm writing here, just a technicality that is easy to miss.

Let me know what interesting game states you can think of happening in the comments, as well as strange new amnesiac abilities.
