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.

And if one dies, all die? Seems kind of imbalanced to me.

 

[Hardy]

Nah, the lovers don't love the 3rd wheel, so nothing happens.

 

[Evil3ye]

If one dies then they are just back to the twosomeness. But they kind of have to suffer then - like no talk for one day or something.

 

[Hardy]

They are turned off at night and can't talk for the entire night phase?

 

[Farfalla]

Maybe they could completely lose their talking ability and go back to being regular shit.

 

[gnut]

got a role to battle jesus....since he gets to come back and be all confirmed

make a 3rd party....satan....if he is lynched,he gets to possess a player one time only and use there ability,any phase/day

 

[Hardy]

But everyone would know who Satan is then.

It would work if we didn't use different accounts, lol.

 

[gnut]

how if he is dead...have he die as townie if lynched...just like jesus
he could cause turmoil on say day 3...vigilante to kill someone important like a doc/spy/hypno/etc

 

[xi0]

Yeah, if he's dead, it doesn't matter since they already know. The problem is picking someone who has a non-passive role.

I don't think he should be Third Party this way. Because there's no way to use his power to win.

i see....
so part of the mafia then....they know there is a jesus
make it so that satan can't post during the day...but niht he can talk to mafia....nice
take away the possession....or make it that he can possess and find out roles

No, I'd make him Townie or Mafia, honestly. I guess the evil thing fits Mafia better, but it could work either way.

 

[gnut]

but he cant be last...once dead he is dead(only can play as long as last mafia dies...rules apply)
what i mean is he can't win alone...only there basically to help out during the night...hell,only limit it to posting...that is still so big at night to plan...another aspect of thinking

 

[Hardy]

Kinda like a mix of vengeful and RS (that can chat every night) but for the mafia?

 

[gnut]

i guess...i'm thinking of something to counter-balance a townie who comes back 2days later
only fair thing i can think of now after xi0's post....is a player that can still contribute to mafia after death...

 

[Hardy]

Why do you want a counter part of everything for the mafia? There's no need to counter Jesus tbh, it isn't a super strong role. In fact, it was used only used once and the role was literally useless.

unless you are mafia and it's 3vs2...and then all of a sudden it's 4vs2...on day 4/5

atleast with satan....you know one of those bastards are comin back...so night chat would be very important to kill in a hurry...and figure out the important roles...
tell the truth....three minds working together to figure out things is better than two

this last game...either me or mido would have been alone to get out out a mess...it would be nice to have a satan then:

 

[Farfalla]

Pirate- You have the one time ability of stealing someone else's ability. You'll be able to use that person's ability instead, and the other person won't know that he/she got robbed (he/she'll became naive). You can chose when to steal the ability, but if your target is mafia, you die.

^_^

 

[Hardy]

That's a super bastard role though. Why would I steal a doc's (or prostitute/detective) only to use it once and leave them naive?

 

[MidoBan]

I think you got it wrong, you can steal only one time , but after you stole it, you can use it forever

 

[Hardy]

Ooooh. Sounds nice then.

If used properly, it can confirm 2 townies, or even more.

On the other hand, it leaves a lot of questions. What happens if it targets a mason/recruiter? Or the Sleeper? (that would be super troll, lol)
