Can of Worms - G: Marionette/Puppetbots

Sure. But that's significantly better than "All the bots are Disconnected."

 

Is a 1 man link possible? If not how does 1 lone puppet function as it isn't in a link team and should disconnect.

Roughly how does troupe leader work outside link teams (like is a single puppet also susceptible to exile?)

 

Fireteams have a minimum of 2 troopers.

However from Marionette:

• If a G: Marionette trooper stops being part of the Troupe, they will enter the Disconnected state at the end of the Order in which that happened.
• This does not apply when:
  • The number of members of a Troupe is reduced to one: that trooper will keep being activated by its Controller's Order.
  • The Troupe is cancelled: then the Troupe Leader (and only the Leader) will keep being activated by its Controller's Order.

So the Troupe leader by itself would not be vulnerable to Exile as they can keep being activated even when not in the Fireteam.

 

No, a 1-trooper Fireteam isn't possible. The 'last' Puppet doesn't get Disconnected because the Marionette rules say that it doesn't:

• If a G: Marionette trooper stops being part of the Troupe, they will enter the Disconnected state at the end of the Order in which that happened.
• This does not apply when:
  • The number of members of a Troupe is reduced to one: that trooper will keep being activated by its Controller's Order.
  • The Troupe is cancelled: then the Troupe Leader (and only the Leader) will keep being activated by its Controller's Order.

 

So, even if the troupe leader got exiled and the link broke, the troupe leader would not be disconnected. This is because of this clause:

And due to you do not directly spend orders on the troupe leader but on the puppet master, the troupe leader would not be negatively impacted by being isolated. The other puppets would be disconnected and sad but otherwise troupe leader is fine?

 

Question - have you read all of the thread and the Marionette rules?

From Marionette - Isolated Puppets become Disconnected, so can't be activated.
From discussions in this thread, a different Puppet would take over as Leader due to Number 2, and the Fireteam would break, leaving the original Leader Isolated and Disconnected and a 'new' Leader as the sole Puppet connected to the Puppetmaster.

 

Missed that isolated puppets become disconnected.
