Town of Salem Game Forums

Wow, somebody actually likes the BCL. Wasn't expecting that.

There should be a change to make winning as survivor challenging, but not so hard that survivors become instant lynch roles like it is right now.

That's only if you get investigated beforehand, because no half-decent Town is going to devote resources to proving you are a Survivor.

Yeah, but no half-decent town will lynch the Survivor on sight either in that situation because most survivors I meet never even vote or even side with the mafia either. The survivor will be a lynch me or lose/win kind of person.

Actually, I've seen the Town lynch Survivors a lot.

And the point is that those three roles can screw over the town easily, but can also help the town a lot, so...

If you have any better place to put the roles, let me know.

Good news everybody!

My Investigator results list is going to be tested in a Testing Grounds game and the Investigator is going to be killed Night 1!

Go join that game so we have a full test, and let me know how it goes!

Oh don't worry orange I will ensure that this takes place since the only roles I will ever get in ToS are GF, Mafioso, Vigilante, and WW (yesterday I played like 15 games and only got those roles over and over and over and over, jailed night 2 as WW... fml)

This list is actually very, very similar to the project I was working on, but I like some of these changes a lot more then the ones I had. So, I give you three fingers up.



HOWEVER

Dont kill your role list idea with even considering a Blackmailer who gets to read whispers... seriously, people, just stop with that shit. Its a horrible idea, as it would pretty much kill the whispers as a system completedly. Its better to have some limitations on the whispers, rather then give Mafia a chance to dig into the only system Town has for the private conversations.

I would favor Blackmailer´s ability to read whispers as a one time use Daytime ability. Possibly with two uses. But making it pernament would completedly stopped whispering as whole, all it would take would have been a fake Blackmail... which is done by Jesters all the time. So, pretty much most of the games noone would bother whispering.

Spy also kills the whisper system of evils which is already so small.

I side with Mroz4k on this issue (as stated like 20 different times) and I personally think the whisper system of the town is almost 200x more important than the whisper system of evils, but I do think that Mafia should have their own chat without having to worry about the Spy.

Random weird strategy involving fake busing:
A funny thing to do might be (I haven't tried it quite yet) would be to use the Spy's ability to hear Mafia chat against him; saying "Alright tomorrow I am going to accuse you of being Mafia and you call me Executioner" on Night 2 because there is usually a lead on Day 3, so the Spy will come forward and say: "I am the Spy and both of these people are Mafia!" you just got the Spy and another TI (the town will kill the TI lol). Not sure how well this would work, but I would like to see someone try it out.

Dude
I would like to introduce you something called balance
Mayor gets all the whispers with no danger
A mafia cant just coordinate with a witch at the last moment
Both will get caught
= no balance

Witch finds Mafia. Witch controls Mafia to not kill Witch. You need no whispers here. If Mafia has a majority then Mafia needs to appoint one member to claim that someone is the Witch and if they are the Witch they will come forth and say so because they know that Mafia has majority with them. If they claim anything other than Witch, the Witch will lynch them. Simple as that. Evil roles don't need whispers. Allowing the Blackmailer to here whispers isn't going to stop the Spy from hearing them. Whispers are fundamental to the game. If anything, Spy shouldn't be able to hear whispers (and I absolutely hate to take apart my favourite role in the game).

I would like to make it where Blackmailer can only read whispers when not Blackmailing. Being able to do it on demand is too easy; all the time is OP.

But a whisper-reading evil role is needed.

I have put up a petition to gather support for this list. If you like it and want to see it in the game, vote yes; if not, don't vote and explain why you don't like it in a post here.

Thank you all for your continued support.

They're both yes, (just pointing out)

It's a petition.

It doesn't need a "no" vote. The point of a petition isn't to gauge what percentage of people like/dislike something; that's a poll. A petition asks for support on a certain issue.

Plus, if you would vote "no", I want to know you're thoughts. Letting people click "no" with no look at WHY they think "no" only opens polls like this to trolls and people that think the current one is balanced.

No moar Spy/BMer screw ups for me so of course "Yes".

25 votes already...

wow.

Keep going guys!

I think that BG and Surv should be put into their own category.

"Your target has bulletproof vests. They must be a Bodyguard or Survivor."

That way, when the Town wants to lynch a "survivor", they should consider that they could lose a bodyguard this way.

Other than that, the results that orangeandblack put up are great.

I eat survivors for every meal.

Um, no, save the Bodyguard for actual important roles, like the WW.

Okay, no offense to anybody (because literally EVERYBODY does it), but why is it impossible for people to add the "5" at the end of "orangeandblack"?

Burgy (all glory and praise be upon him) even did it with my signature before I asked him to add the 5.

So, why does everybody just leave that out?

It kind of does tbh, but I'd never start anything over it (unless it's Purple or Thorpe).
