Check the two neighbors
When a neighbor tells the Rambler to shut up, read it as a clue about how that card’s information is treated. Check which cards are adjacent and whether they normally give information before drawing conclusions.
A disguised Confessor
In one village, #1 was the Rambler. The Empress at #8 and a Chancellor disguised as Confessor at #2 both told #1 to shut up. The v0.752a patch says Confessor should count as Truthful for this interaction, even when Corrupted. That explains how the evil Chancellor could produce the same response as the Empress.
