I dont have any way to get a full screenshot of this but from what i remember #9 was the demon but it still doesnt make sense for the puppet to lie since puppeteer should be the closest evil and witch should be the 2nd closest
Also it was a single outcast round
The puppet didn’t lie. The puppet was a scout. The Scout’s testimony gives the distance between the specified Evil and the closest other Evil to it. The Scout’s mechanic is different from the hunter who is distance from self to nearest evil.
The scout gave testimony about the witch, who truly was one card away from #9, a demon.
(Caveat that the wretch can mess this calculus up, but not in this round)
Actually the Witch is equidistant with Baa, so Witch and Baa are both 2nd closest to Puppet.
Also do you know how to read and understand it?
If you did then you'd know that Baa was the closest evil to the Witch, since Baa is 1 card away.
Maybe next time, read and understand the words you read and you won't be as confused as you were 2 days ago.
