added poll for this role since i'm satisfied with it now

do you think the role is balanced and
should be able to save evils by accident (doc and bg can so i'm inclined to think yes)

2 current issues.
1. Allow it to heal scum. No reason why it shouldn't. I don't like that nowadays roles can't any wrong. If some roles were made for today, witch wouldn't be able to kill mafia with other roles, Doctors wouldn't heal their targets and Veterans alerts would be cancelled if they kill only town. If someone protects scum, then the scum played well, or you played badly. IMO, a role shoyld affect others equally.

2. Communication and soft confirmation exist. I can see a meta where people give eachother numbers through whispering. An Impersanator can use this to either confirm BMer or Impersonator is in game. However, this role works well at avoiding some of the more obvious pitfalls.

it can heal scum the poll was if it should change to cant

the idea to punish whisper starts is bmer if u fear it u dont try it,

is it really a big deal if the person who is now the town is the same person or was impersonator though either way the person is a town its a question if they are confirmed town but they are risks to this strat

the person that was whispered to could be evil and u risk assuming the identity of one the people u whsipered the code to invalidating the confirmed status since they would know the code too

Sadly, this suffers from the same problem as disguiser. People will use this role to hijack other people’s names and get them reports. It is a good idea, though.

only the first part is where the person uses ur body and once they die they are revealed has their real role not another persons role, dusiguiser did this, this role doesnt

also duisguiser intentionaly takes over a towns body and acts in ways against towns win condtion making it seem like gamethrowing

this role tries to save other town and let them use their duisguise so they both work on winning for town they dont have contrary goals, thats a huge difference

=========================================================================

if people intentionally say racist/vulgar or game throwing things and they are both town thats the person not the role

it says alot about the community that swaping peoples looks and names on the same team cant work cause of spammers

the fact the game is free and people banned can just remake accounts is a big factor to this

ToL has many roles that DO swap opposite sides and it works fine

simply disable the function to report until the game ends have a pop saying starting on Day X name was in persons body

yeah, but the problem isn’t that they’re town. I could easily see an impersonator spamming “NIGS” after they disguise the second time.

the fact the game is free and people banned can just remake accounts is a big factor to this

This would just make reporting tedious.


Once again, good role, same problem as disguiser. You have good ideas, though.

that's such a good reason a well thought mechanic that's adds something new and unique to game cant be added ToS 10/10 reason there


waiting till the end of the game so you have all the facts before falsely reporting someone is tedious got it, and because of this fact no role with such a mechanic can ever exist

even though throne of lies does it perfectly and doesn't have any problems, but this simply isn't possible in ToS because waiting to report someone is tedious

did I some up why this role cant work in your eyes well enough?

How often have you changed your mind about a report, and wished “Man I wish I didn’t report that guy”

If a person says “niqqer” they still said niqqer. If someone named themselves niqqer they still named themselves niqqer. If someone revealed the entire mafia they still revealed the entire mafia. If someone insulted someone they still insulted someone. If someone confessed to cheating they still confessed to cheating. If someone leaves while alive they still left while alive. This does not change. If you could make a mechanic that filtered the report to the original user, sure, but this would make reports tedious.

Not to mention people just wouldn’t care at that point. When dead most people leave before they lose. Sometimes people leave right after they die. This would make people who ARE reported reported less or not at all, as people would simply be gone or just want to move on to the next game. There’s no reason to change the time.

It’s a genuine problem. A genuinely good role, but a genuine problem. And no reason for insults dude.

yea but mafia aren't gonna be swapped amolst ever this role is to let another town take their identity
ToL handes it fine u cant report till the end of the game

if the person leaves early give them the fact of the name swap and then let them report who they want fron the game lobby they are no longer in game giving them this info is fine now

It’s a genuine problem. A genuinely good role, but a genuine problem. And no reason for insults dude.

its a problem cause the game has no paywall, so free accounts are free no repercussion of ban, this drasticly lowers the qualtiy of ToS games, even so i addressed the issue by delaying reports, the only reasons u have why this shouldnt be i have adressed

this has no relevance to what I just said.

We’re not talking about throne of lies. One is a paid game, the other is a free game. VERY different player dynamic.

Not to mention people just wouldn’t care at that point. When dead most people leave before they lose. Sometimes people leave right after they die. This would make people who ARE reported reported less or not at all, as people would simply be gone or just want to move on to the next game. There’s no reason to change the time.

Problem is they have to wait for an ENTIRE GAME to end just for one leaving report.

It’s a genuine problem. A genuinely good role, but a genuine problem. And no reason for insults dude.

Play throne of lies then, and suggest this role there. With the social dynamic of town of Salem it does not work, and there is no need to change an entire system just for one role. If they changed it they could add disguiser again and then this role would be a disguiser copy.



Again. I like the role, just its been tried and failed.

you act like people would only stay the entire game to report someone, if they are staying to see who wins it doesn't matter when the report happens,

if u just want to leave the game you can report right away once ur in post screen lobby

please explain what the problem with this is?

Do you mean you’ll be given an option to report if you leave?

If yes:
Spoiler: An interesting concept, but I can see it as an easy way to multi account cheat and it would encourage players to leave the game to report, allowing games to be filled with spammers.

If no:
Spoiler: In the games I play, usually 3 people leave at the beginning. If the mafia dies every mafia leaves, if an nk dies every nk leaves and if it’s obvious a side is losing that side leaves. People are constantly leaving. You cannot say “well they have to stay then” because merit points encourage them to do that. It’s a mob mentality. People think “oh the other people will report this guy” so they leave, and then those people don’t get reported. All of this so one role can be implemented.

yes ull be told the body swap happened once you leave like this

on day 3 sam swapped identities with giles

access chat log below that

and everyone who was in that game u can right click to report, problem solved

(it wouldnt show who was what role like it does normally or this would be abused in classic ect..)

people already cheat and multi-account this wont change that at all, if u want real games u play ranked, i dont touch classic or anything besides ranked where people can que together ull just get mass cheaters

We all have our personal preferences. Moving on, it’s easy to get two accounts in the same queue. You just click join queue with two TOS tabs open.

now ur just saying cause people can cheat which is a huge bigger problem a mechanic shouldn't be allowed, if we're to the point that anyone can just que mass people together in ranked we have much bigger problems

then one person leaving on the off chance there an impersonator in the game and then telling their buddies or alt account this


if this was a common thing which i dont think it is ranked game would just be decided by which side has most alt accounts

Here’s what I’m lumping cheating with:

Say bob is a multi accounting mafia who suspects there’s an impersonator. He just had to leave and gets all info, if you get a log of the game that’s worse, and encourages multi accounting to leave d1 and get everyone’s role. This is a great idea but the community is very toxic and messes this up.

And it’s not a common thing because people can get banned for it, or just don’t think of it. It happens though. Besides it’s not like there are many multi accounts in other modes... or detectable ones anyway.

Delaying it to the end just opens up so many new problems, though. And again this is all for this specific role.

i mean i did say the end game screen would be modified to not show who is what role if people leave before the game ends.. reread what i said plz.

mafia wants to kill people all others anyway if they go through the trouble to cheat in ranked just learn what role one person which consig can do anyway then ok

if town is doing this for other town these alt account cheater already have other alt account towns anyway so its a net gain of 0 u lost an alt account vote to confirm a town role who aren't certain will even vote with u

if people cheat they have an advantage its that simple, what ur describing leaving to learn who the impersonator swapped identities with sounds good to me one less alt account is in the game messing up the votes to learn one thing that's info that's barely useful

doc unlimited powerful heals
my role 2 unstoppable heals

on average a doc heals only 2 in game so most times this role is better

this role also lets high target roles regain their the ainmonity say mayor was forced to reveal now everyone thinks mayor is dead and suddenly ths role a the surprise mayor who has ur identity that everyone thought was dead steps forward

doc cant do this

the second part of the heal is sorta like u renter the game an are a town anmeasic but for onlt people who will die that night so u have to predict who will die

this role doesn't ever die to use its ability it fakes its death everyone thinks its dead it isnt, dunno why ur comparing this to BG its nothing like it

Its just a double amnesiac, and its basically protect someone, if they die you gain their role and will (I know its you replacing them, but to outside town members this is what it looks like). Then you have your death ability, which is an amnesiac of alive people.

What does this claim on stand? The fact it can be any town power role means its one of the highest tatgets mafia can go for. Lemonader is simply saying that BG dies and trades for scum, while this role dies and gives 'nothing'. This isn't strictly true, as it gives TLs their secrecy, but what is the cost?

Again, this is similar to TP retributionist.
1. In order to use its ability, it dies. When you think about voting power, this isn't flattering.
5 vs 4 mafia. 1st save. Lets compare all the roles we have got.
Doctor: 5 vs 4 (Heal)
Bodyguard: 4 vs 3 (Protect)
Botanist: 5 vs 4 (Plant heal)
Tp retri: 4 vs 4 (Target still dies. Main reason why I think its a bit UP)
Impersonator: 4 vs 4 (Anonymity save.)

Retri has limited way to bring back majority, this has no way. Of course, it may be more about the role saved, but wont all TPs protect Jailor, with equal or better results?

no the first part is no one dies u swap identities u fake die has the swapped person who would of died, swapped person is still in play with their role own role but in your old indetity, no part of this is like anmeasic, only the second part is

thats the second part of the role while fake dead not the first part, it isn't double

1. In order to use its ability, it dies. When you think about voting power, this isn't flattering.

it does not die it sees no death chat because it isn't dead it fake dies and renters the game when it predicts who will die a certain
night

it has 2 heals but each acts differently


but once its second heal is done it becomes another town role entirely maybe even bodygaurd, ist a weaker doc with secreacy mixed in and then an anmeasic like ability at the end

5 vs 4 mafia. 1st save. Lets compare all the roles we have got.
Doctor: 5 vs 4 (Heal)
Bodyguard: 4 vs 3 (Protect)
Botanist: 5 vs 4 (Plant heal)
Tp retri: 4 vs 4 (Target still dies. Main reason why I think its a bit UP)
Impersonator: 4 vs 4 (Anonymity save.)

this role is weaker late game where mafia might have majority its meant to get the first part of its ability done early on

the -1 is only temporary because when it renters the game it will be +0 because no one will die when it assumes an identity


Retri has limited way to bring back majority, this has no way. Of course, it may be more about the role saved, but won't all TPs protect Jailor, with equal or better results?

ret is overpowered ret is +1 once, the OP part is it confirms two people

this role is + 0 but twice but confirms no one and gives pseudo protection of letting a person be unknown again

if we are gonna base the standard of good on comparing roles to ret i think balance is done for in this game


==============================================================================================

the role itself might need some buffs i will think on it

I mean TP retri. Mystoc, I understand your role fully. Just, to the outside view, it looks like that. I yet again am talking about Paralaxes Retri, not the broken one. Mystoc, I did say that, and I am pretty sure you yourself posted on that role idea. This role weakens throughout the game, and turns not very powerful at all if its outed on stand. The other roles dont really have such a dramatic power dip. Anyway, a surprise jailor wont work if they jail. ..
