Example -
Spoiler: Player A (estimator) is asked this (comes up on a box in the middle of the screen) "How many people will die tonight"
Player A has buttons 0 - 15 (15 players alive). Player A selects 2
2 people die, player A was attacked that night but due to being spot on they are saved.
Player A is now asked "How many people will be role-blocked". A guesses 4
Player A has a vest that activates but 1 was role-blocked. Player A is role-blocked and attacked, killing player A.

Your guess was 1 off! You equipped a vest this night!
Your guess was 2 off! You will wear a vest tomorrow!
Your guess was 3 off....you fear for your life.
Your guess was more than 3 off! You suffer a heart attack and die!
___ was found dead last night. They died form a heart attack.

1 off - Vest is worn that night
2 off - Next night you will be wearing a vest
3 off - Nothing, but you live.
More than 3 off - you die from a heart attack

Lore: Spoiler: The Estimator had always been alone. She never played with the other children, and hardly spoke to anyone. She had always been shunned, due to her OCD, and her mental instability. To pass the time, she counted. One rock, two sticks, three worms. One hat, two shoes, three scarves. One shots, two shots, three screams. Eventually she began to see patterns and little details. One, no two, two people stitched up, probably the work of two medical Doctors. One hastily dressed man, they were visited by an Escort, possibly. One visibly shaken woman. Perhaps the Sheriff was a bit too rough. The Estimator then started playing a game, a game only she knew the rules to. "It's easy," she says to the wall, "All you do is answer the question with a number! If you get it right, you get a treat! But if you don't, you lose! You don't want to lose, because then you can't play anymore! Losers have to sleep for a long time! Sleep, sleep, sleep!" She had never been that far off a answer yet, never more than 3. She wondered what would happen if she was but she didn't want to find out, just in case.

No night immunity for a NB? Bad.

What's the reward for correct guesses?

Are you a troll? NB dont have night immunity, yes survivor has 4 vests but not forever, amnesiac has No immunity unless it is lucky enough to remember an immune role. Ill edit in rewards soon.

I mean considering this role is completely reliant on these 'rewards', it's a bit stupid to post the role without the rewards existing.

Gambler style roles have been suggested before, however.

Added a set reward section for the blind.

Okay, couple of questions

What sort of questions would be asked? You said 'How many people will die tonight?', sure, but how many other questions can you really be asked that can be immediately confirmed the next day?

Also, there's a slight paradox within the role. Say you predict that 3 people will die that night, and Arsonist ignites 3 people including you.

If this count as you guessing right (because 3 people would die), you would gain arsonist immunity and not die, therefore making you having guessed wrong.

This means that 2 people actually died, so you shouldn't get the arsonist immunity. Therefore, you should be dead. But that means 3 people died so you should have been arso immune...

You get my point. What would you suggest happens in this scenario?

Thats the one paradox i can see, so ill make it so there wont be that question if your doused. and the questions are all in sample text (there can be more)

sh99er wrote:Thats the one paradox i can see, so ill make it so there wont be that question if your doused.

Sounds good to me, and I looked over the questions, looks fine, but in the case of the 'How many ___ are there?', does that refer to how many of them are alive right now?

Other than that, sounds pretty fun

Yes, how many maf / vamp / town / neutral / (role) are currently ALIVE (there can be questions for in total)

The role is understandable and well-made, kinda like a neutral investigative.

Oh yeah i guess it could be seen that way with the "How many (role) are alive" but it isnt gunna be doing much "investigating"

What happens if you earns a vest for the next night but then the next night you guessed it spot on and received a night immunity? Would the vest you earned be wasted or saved for the next night?

And it's luck based.

KyoDaz wrote:And it's luck based.

Not necessarily.

If there is 1 NK and mafia then 2 people die would probably be the answer.

Or another example is if there's a confirmed escort then 1 person would probably be roleblocked.

This is not luck based, rather it is possibility based

Wasted as it would not be needed

Yeah it would require common sense and actually reading chat. unlike a survivor

While the heart attack is kind of odd, I guess it prevents the role from being a Survivor, it actually has to function. Nice idea, but idk about it.

HereThereEverywhere wrote:While the heart attack is kind of odd, I guess it prevents the role from being a Survivor, it actually has to function. Nice idea, but idk about it.

Well it has to die in some way as a penalty for failure. So i decided a heart attack would work as i don't see why you would off yourself over this.

I just wrote this quickly to sum up how I think the Estimator's lore should go:
"The Estimator had always been alone. She never played with the other children, and hardly spoke to anyone. She had always been shunned, due to her OCD, and her mental instability. To pass the time, she counted. One rock, two sticks, three worms. One hat, two shoes, three scarves. One shots, two shots, three screams. Eventually she began to see patterns and little details.

You know what, ima add this thanks.

sh99er wrote:Goal: Survive until the end of the game

So it's just a worse (no vests + possible heart attack) survivor with a mini-game. Change its objective and make it more interactive with the rest of the town, ToS is not a single-player game.
Here is an idea: make the first question special - "Which faction will win the game?", "Who will survive until the end?", or "How many people will be alive at the end?" (or a random out of several possibilities) and make his goal to be right about this. He would then spend the rest of the game supporting his favourite and trying to make his prediction come true.
