Can you cheat against a Red Joker in Initiative Flip?

[Math Mathonwy]

Can you cheat against a Red Joker in Initiative Flip? The rules for Red Joker prevent you from cheating against in an opposed duel but Initiative Flip isn't designated as an opposed duel.

On the other hand it also isn't a Simple Duel, so it is kinda outside of the normal mechanics.

The initiative flip isn't a duel, so yes you can.

 

Edit

Worth noting that the Black Joker says you can't cheat fate if you flip it, so its rules will still apply in the initiative flip

Exactly, the game has lots of flips that aren't duels. They aren't outside normal mechanics.

Ah, yeah, I wrote that lazily. Meant that there aren't all that many situations where both players flip and compare yet it isn't an opposed duel.

But thank you for the answer! That's how I thought it would go but some other people had their doubts.
