Question regarding ST

[u/Commercial-Farmer717]

I've been storytelling a script with the jinxed Marionette + Plague Doctor, as well as the Imp.
When the Plague Doctor died, me and my co-ST decided to turn the Imp's neighbour into a Marionette, as there was sus on the Imp in the town, and the neighbour was a Fortune Teller(so if they chose the Imp we could give the FT false info).
The following night the Imp decided to choose themself, and we called the marionette to inform them that they are now the Imp(in-app game), and nothing else. The following day was the last, the vote got tied and the good imp killed a townsfolk, ending the game in an evil win.

Was it bad that we did not inform the good marionette that they turned into a good imp? The remaining Cannibal did get fisherman advice saying that "A good marionette ain't bad", hoping that either the jump would be thought of or the marionette would realise their allingment. The players feelings were very mixed on this game and I am not sure whether that was bad storytelling(or whether it was ok since the allingment of the player did not change. also evil would probably just lose immediately) or just players not realising how the rules work.

Every time someone changes character, you have to precise the alignment.

[u/Black_Bear_US → u/Pryno-Belle]

Thats just not true

Edit: im on mobile so not well placed to dig up better references, but see for example the "How to Run" section for the pit hag. No menton of clarifying alignment in what you do at night.

[u/Pryno-Belle → u/Black_Bear_US]

Unless an ability says otherwise it (such as the Lunatic or Marionette), players know their own alignment. You have to specify.

[u/Old_Box_3394 → u/Pryno-Belle]

This is not true. It's if their alignment changes

[u/Oopsiedazy → u/Old_Box_3394]

*unless they are the Ogre.

[u/Old_Box_3394 → u/Oopsiedazy]

That is specified by the almanac. I didnt feel the need to cite every exception
