Town of Salem Game Forums

This role is quite chaotic, and although i do not understand it 100% ( is it simply what happens to A happens to be B or does it it happen to B and not to A? A lot of this A and B stuff makes my head turn reading ) ,

the name 'Democrat' and the reasoning given (by someone stating that they put their problems onto others) is merely satire and should not be taken seriously.

Democrat - an advocate or supporter of democracy.

I am unsure of any new names that would fit this role, so i suggest reverting back to the 'Wellwisher'.

You should rename it wellwisher

Maybe not offensive, but it is certainly more... political than it should be. (I know you weren't asking me but I'm just throwing in my 2 cents). I don't know if I like the name Wellwisher either though. I'm bad at coming up with names!

The role itself is very interesting! I think it's pretty balanced and fun to play. /Support

A big thanks to everyone who commented! I appreciate your feedback!

Yeah...

Is that not an accurate representation of a democrat?

This is starting to get off topic.

You too.

Glad to see it was finally changed into a NE role. As for the name, I myself do not like the name 'Wellwisher' because this role's abilities do not match the name 'Wellwisher.' However, one thing's for sure, don't make the name anything political, this should not be called Democrat, Senator, or anything among those lines. Apart from that, /support.

Thanks. Do you like the name "Patron" or "Ally"?

My name suggestion would be "Distributor" since you distribute good/bad effects onto the other person. I definitely don't think this is a perfect name, though. Again, I'm terrible at coming up with names for things!

Also, I have a question about this role. What happens if one person is attacked and the other is healed? Are both protected from death? This may have been explained in the OP and I failed to pick up on it.

No, not really, in complete honesty. Naming a role can be difficult sometimes. Do you like the name 'Mimic' or 'Mime'?

The role name got changed to my suggestion, what an honor.

Apparently everyone else thinks otherwise.

This is way too confusing with some stuff being mimicked from a-b and some from b-a, or are they just examples and everything done on either of them are done on both of them? It's not too clear.

I agree, I really like the name wellwisher. Mimic doesn't really seem to fit it that well. Sorry for making it harder for you to decide on a name

Everything happens to either of them happens to both of them.

That sounds better, and in that case it's like an NE transporter (I assume that's what you're going for) but buffed( or nerfed depending on the situation), so this actually sounds pretty good.

I actually loved the name Wellwhisher, well i still like the new role names you come up with!

Yep, it is. I will change it back.

Wellwisher: one who wishes well to another: an admiring supporter or fan

Yeah, I don't see how the name 'Wellwisher' matches this role's abilities or attributes. Though there's nothing wrong with the relation between a role's name and its attributes being a bit loose, it should be present. There is nothing that links the name 'Wellwisher' to what this role is and does. It's important for the flavor text/lore to be accurate, you can't just name a role whatever you want just because it sounds better...

Well balance > Lore. All the lore you need if you really want it is "Wish at night at the wising well that PlayerA and PlayerB will be connected. Honestly the name has been changed enough and it doesn't need to change again. I think its fine and so do a lot of other people. Besides its not too hard to come up with how the name connects with the lore, like I said above. If it was named "Jet fighter" or "US navy seal" Or something weird like that it would need a change, but it's fine.

P.s. I like the name Wellwisher

If you REALLY have to change it again, do something like spiritualist I guess. The only other name I think would be acceptable with the role without making it weird.

But I still like Wellwisher

'Wellwisher' does NOT mean someone who visits a wishing well. Did you not read the definition? It means someone who wishes someone to do well.

Well it could really go either way depending on what OP meant it to be, dictionary doesn't really apply.

I can't really see what the big deal is with the name. It's fine as is.

What about equalizer or distributor. Because you distribute the actions and you make everyone take equal consenquences. Not a perfect name but wellwisher seems kinda off topic and i must say i dont really like it.
