Investigator's Results Revamp
Posted: Mon May 18, 2015 10:39 pm
[UPDATED AS OF 8/8/16, Overhauled list. Got rid of my old review of the old results and introductory stuff since patch 1.5 is out now.potentially an insomnia edit on the FAQ but whatever]
The results overall are technically okay but there are some bad ones, specifically VH/Survivor/Witch. This is my personal preferred list as of the date above. I regret not emphasizing 4-role results in the other thread when I should have.
Spoiler:
Experimental Changes/Questions in Mind: (These changes are independent of one another so keep that in mind.)
FAQ:
Q: Why are there 4-role groupings?
A: In the game's current state, it's impossible to have a good list without doing this. And IMO, a list is as good as its worst result. VH/Survivor/Witch is really hard on Survivor and Witch so the list is bad. I'd personally try to limit to 3 but like I said, it doesn't seem like it's possible right now. Too little non-confirmable Town to be used as claim space for scum results and too little Mafia roles to give potential results a good amount of uncertainty.
Q: Why does this say "Your target (insert flavor text here)" for (insert role grouping here)? It doesn't seem to fit.
A: Well first of all, if you're suggesting a change in one of my results, then remember that balance should always be considered first, not lore. Second of all, if you can suggest some better flavor text, then by all means please help. Because I'm mostly just reusing the current ones.[/list]
I'd like to put this link up since I really like the suggestions in there. HOWEVER, I did not take any changes into account at all, at least for my normal versions.

- Arsonist and Werewolf can be switched depending on which role needs more pressure or simply a better claim.
