Correcting a Role-Count Mismatch Before Assignment
This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.
Background and constraints
A fictional organizer originally prepared three roles for four participants. The final input shown here adds a meaningful observer slot instead of silently leaving one person without a card.

Planning process
The host checks that names, roles and custom secrets each contain four lines. The invalid three-role draft is rejected by the tool before drawing. The corrected cast is then randomized and reviewed for participant agreement.
Result explanation
Count validation prevents incomplete assignments, but adding a slot still requires a sensible role. An observer can be a valid choice when it carries no essential evidence or unwanted duty.
Alternative
Ask a willing participant to join as a non-role guest and remove them from the role draw while retaining them in the guest register.
Execution notes
Do not invent a placeholder person to satisfy counts. All expedition activity remains recreational and within permitted safe spaces.
