== Tips & Tricks ==
* VOTE!!!!
* Actively take part in conversations about who should be nominated. While you must vote on every nomination, you can gain agency over executions by convincing other players to nominate people you'd prefer to vote on.
* Pretend to be a character that benefits from other players' executions, like the {{Good|Undertaker}} or the {{Good|Cannibal}}. This might help create confusion amongst players - are you voting all the time because you're the Zealot, or do you just really want to see someone executed?
* Tell everyone you are the Zealot. If other players are aware that you will be voting on every nomination, that will help them decide who they want to vote for.
* Be aware that people might find you suspicious because you are voting on everything.
* If a Traveller is joining the game, encourage them to play as the {{Traveler|Bureaucrat}} or the {{Traveler|Thief}}!
* Work with your team to get the game to a day where fewer than 5 players live, so you can vote how you like.
* If you are alive towards the end of the game, make the most of the final day! It's likely the first time in the game that you will have agency over your own votes.
* If there is a Zealot on the script, watch votes very carefully to figure out if there is a Zealot in play.
* If you are a character who wants to die in the night, vote on everything to convince the evil team that you are the Zealot.

== Bluffing as the Zealot ==
* VOTE!!!!
* If there is a Zealot on the script, watch good players' votes very carefully to figure out if there is a Zealot in play. If a good player is voting on everything, they might be the Zealot, and you likely know where one Outsider is. If no good player votes on every nomination, Zealot is probably out-of-play and therefore a great bluff for Minions.

"Welcome, one and all, to the greatest show on earth."

Summary

"Each night*, choose a player: if they are or become drunk or poisoned tonight, you die."

The Acrobat dies if the people they choose are drunk or poisoned.

How to Run

Each night except the first, wake the Acrobat. The Acrobat points at a player. Put the Acrobat to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the CHOSEN reminder token.

If the chosen player is drunk or poisoned at any point during the night phase, the Acrobat dies—put the Acrobat DEAD by the Acrobat's character token in the Grimoire and put a shroud on it.

For the purpose of the Acrobat's ability, the Drunk registers as drunk.
