Summary:

“Things that evil players are mad about might become true.”

The Genie grants the wishes of evil players.

• At any time, if an evil player (including the Genie) is mad about something false, the Storyteller may make it become true.
• This can cause players to change character, become drunk, poisoned, sober, or healthy – literally anything.
• The evil player can be an evil Minion, Demon, Outsider, Townsfolk, or even a Traveller.

How to Run:

At any time, if an evil player is mad about something false, you may make it become true. Change characters, reminders, shrouds, etc. as needed. Use the Genie’s ? reminders to serve as other reminders you may need.

<aside> 📌 You should only really be granting wishes 1-3 times per game, depending on how much and how long the players were mad, and also how long the Genie has lived.

Rarely is making a player evil due to the Genie’s ability fun, but on occasion, it can be fine.

Examples:

<aside> 📖 The Genie is mad (incorrectly) that the Demon has the Minstrel ability due to the Boffin. That night, the Demon gains the Minstrel’s ability.

</aside>

<aside> 📖 The evil Scapegoat is mad that when the Damsel is executed, that the Scapegoat will be executed instead, due to their ability. That day, the Damsel is about to be executed, but the Scapegoat is executed instead.

</aside>

<aside> 📖 The Genie is bluffing as the Golem, and the Demon is bluffing as the Librarian who saw the Genie as the Golem. Hence, they are both mad that the Genie will kill the player that they nominate. When the Genie nominates the Cannibal, the Cannibal dies.

</aside>

<aside> 📖 The evil players are mad that the in-play Demon is the Vortox. Evil is winning handily. Only after being mad for 4 days, does the Demon become the Vortox.

</aside>

<aside> 📖 The Genie is mad that every good player is the Heretic. That night, all good players become the Heretic. When the game ends, the Storyteller is defenestrated by the good team. (Please, please, don’t do this kind of thing.)

Tips & Tricks:

• Be active! The more you integrate yourself into town, the more chances you have to grant wishes for your team.
• Talk about whatever you need. Poison players, call them evil, say that your Demon isn’t even the real Demon to swap with them. The sky’s the limit. Just don't talk too much or people will notice.
• Sit back and accuse people of being the Genie. The most dangerous good players are the ones who solve. You can turn their voices against them and make the town doubt their motives.
• Talk about other Minions. You're already spending a Minion ability for wishes, so why not mimic a more direct power? You can even swap which Minion you simulate by "realising" you were wrong earlier.
• Don't feel pressured to be especially loud. The Storyteller is likely paying attention to you & won't be granting every wish anyways. Take your time & find excuses to insert wishes where they arise.
• Don’t be afraid to talk about evil players. The Storyteller won’t use your wishes to hurt you. Going on about how your Demon is definitely poisoned can do wonders in earning social credit.
• Find a good player and support their worlds. It gives you an excuse to speak publicly in town. And if their world is wrong, you can sneak in a few wishes.
• Try not to get too greedy. If you are mad that evil has won the game immediately, don't expect the Storyteller to grant your wish.
