This role has already been suggested.
but overall, I like the CONCEPT.

kinda UP because it needs to have for people to die.

I think you're misunderstanding. This only works on living players.

i like this alot its much stronger then it appears to be

idea is a killer isn't gonna admit to visiting the correct person and if a killer visits someone he kills them, so just check someone in there will they claimed they visited thats alive odds are they didnt visit them because that person is alive

not knowing what night the visit happened is irrelevant if the visit never happened

this role is very weak without seeing a person's will, but if u get evils onto the stand and forced them post their fake logs suddenly this role is very strong,

this role is weak without info of the evils fake wills but strong with teamwork, i like this role alot

still kinda weak overall i think it should do it for both players

you tell a about b and b about a, and see how both reacts to the other name instead of just one

- You will be able to tell if either player visited each other before.


you should specify it tell you which visited like which one does thevisit,

the way you have it worded makes it sound like one did visit the other and your not told which visited who


like im picturing the feedback being

one these players visited the other

has a feedback which is not very useful be more specific in what the ability does

i like it the role its strong but only if your aggressive in getting others to post their wills so it require you to be vocal and risk dying

also you should list its attack and defense i know its none and none but listing it the correct thing to do when making a rolecard for a new role

I highly doubt this and inspector will be put in the same game. Any feedback for the role itself?

This is a pretty interesting role, although it is sort of like Psychic, it doesn't include RNG. #ReplacePsychicWithThis

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about suggesting this as a Psychic replacement.

Your role is pretty situational and overall weak, from what I can see, since your info isn’t that clear

As I said, really situational role. Tbh i think I’ve heard of a similar role I preferred. Here are my suggestions:

The reporter(horrible name btw) visits one person every night. Once you have two people reported, you can see if they visited each other THAT DAY. When you have 3 people reported you will know if any of the three visited another one, and you will know which.
If you want to report someone else, then the first person you reported is no longer reported and so on.

It is still weak and situational, I’m neutral on the role, but it could get accepted in TG.

I'm considering buffing it so it can see which night said target visited the other. It's not that situational, considering it can tell if a killer is lying once wills are posted. I don't agree with your opinion so sorry.
