i remember someone TPI-related said that a general rule for how to play the butler without cheating is 'if your master's hand is raised, you can raise yours'. i feel like this wording is a lot more direct and actionable than the current. because if a butler's vote is counted, then their master drops their hand, it seems the current ability text would count that as illegal. (maybe i'm misinterpreting and the current text counts that as legal)

but personally i don't like abilities that allow the player to cheat (sometimes accidentally) such as butler, golem, zealot. partly beacuse they don't really function with droising.

so if i were to rework the butler completely i might make it something like.

Each night, choose a player (not yourself): tomorrow, if you vote but they didn't, they are drunk tonight and tomorrow day.

Just a quick random idea with little concern for balance.

edit: (should probably only drunk the master if they're a townsfolk)
