Discussion New Roles and New Rules Suggestion Thread

[GrySun]

Submissions for new roles need to follow the next format in order to be considered:

I. [Place Holder Name]

II. [Affiliation]

III. [Short Description]

IV. [Long Description/Idea/Premise/Scope]

V. [Priority/RoleType/Interactions/other Specifics]

Spoiler: Examples of Approved roles

I. Troublemaker

II. Town

III. Can once per game make a Day phase lynch be the top 2 voted people instead of regular 1 top voted person. Every player has 2 votes but cannot vote the same player twice.

IV. PMs the host on the night before the day he wishes to use his power on. Host announces at start of day that the 2 top voted players will be lynched.
Everyone gets 2 votes that they can use on 2 individual players. Both can be moved once like usual. Example:
!votekill1 PlayerX
!votekill2 PlayerY
!votelock2 (locks on PlayerY).

Any other format is also fine as long as players specify who they are voting and if it's a new vote or they are changing their first one.

V. Doesn't have a Priority, happens at the end of night after all other actions. Doesn't target another player. Primary role.

Since it happens at the end of a phase, the player can be both blocked and killed to prevent it happening.

I. Psychiatrist

II. Townie

III. The Psychiatrist investigates one person per night phase to see if the player has a Secondary Role. They get a "Your target has a secondary role" if that is the case, and a "Your target does not have a secondary role" if it's not. The Psychiatrist does not find out the allegiance of the target.

IV. It's a counter for scum secondaries without outright revealing them, leaving room for guess work and player reading.

V. Priority 2, Primary Role.

Current roles Approved for testing here

Rules on including those in a game:

• A host can take any of these roles and test them in their game. Depending on results from testing the role it will either be included into the Role list or need more changes/testing.
• A host at the very least has to announce in the opening post of the game that new roles are being tested, or alternatively even more specifically reveal the roles that are being tested.

Link to the last update post with the roles that are either close to approval or were not approved: here.

I updated the PGO and limited him to a one shot. Hypno is out for now, until someone comes up with a reasonable suggestion.

Hypno is too strong sadly.





I really really dont like that role, not gonna lie.

 

[MidoBan]

EVIL!!!!

Some roles are called bastard roles they are just annoying to have, lovers is one such role.

I dont think love is one , you can still win like townie or mafia.

what about my kid ?

 

[Evil3ye]

I know , but the role have to be at least have some purpose, and dont know if he can do that in this way

They have purposes of balancing the game.

If we have 15 players and only 3 mafia, of course there have to be Townie roles included that are rather harmful for the town. It can't always be Freeman though, because yawn.

Well, i think spy can hurt a lot more the game than hypno

What about instead of spy we have some guy that does autopsies during the day on the people killed and he finds all the players they targeted. lets call it the mortician.

I don't like it. Sounds like a Mentee imitate to me.

In this way he will function more like a bomb. Its better to tell that you are a Paranoid for town dont go for you (until you get lynched)

 

[digitaldude]

And he can only do one a day so if multiple people die he has to decide.

Well, its not a bad idea if we work that idea a little more. He only know the targget not the result , right?

I was thinking about something like that but with living players. But the problems with those day roles is, that they instantly get to know it.

For instance Investigator completely randers a Janitor useless. I suggest that there is at least a time gab inbetween in which there is still doubt about it. - Making him only able to Investigate the dead body on the following night.

 

[Hardy]

Imo we should give the Hypno another shot. It's like saying that the Insane doc is OP just because Kat raped in the last game.

How about he finds out the last person he targeted and all the actions that were used against him(not the players that targeted him just their actions). sounds fairer.

In games 20+ mebe.

That was super luck though, and insane doctor also murders townies so it balances out.
