Yes they are.. is it fair for Survivor to choose Town’s side just because he feels like it over NK.. no it isn’t. This change increases the WR of those roles in said situations.

Well that was the whole point survivor was made. Although it probably doesn't matter to you it should be noted that NB roles are no longer in ranked. I would NOT worry about how fair something is if it can only be found in Custom/CHAOTIC games.

Reworked

- I used Google's Coward role and applied its mechanics here to replace the vest mechanic. Survivor is much more dangerous to Townies now, and makes Town more likely to hang them which makes you not wanna reveal as Survivor.

And they don't. Survivor mostly helps the neutral killer if they can anyways.

The reason survivor is claimable by Werewolf, arsonist, godfather and serial killer is because it comes up as immune when it while vested. IF that is taken away so there's no message or you get the message "You hit their vest!" then we take away that ability. It can hurt the neutral killers a bit since they don't have a claim except executioner for why they are immune however, if they can get the survivor on their side, then that may just make up for that and give them the win so it's pretty balanced. Also, just to clarify, ONLY change it for survivor that way the bodyguard can't instantly get confirmed, that would just screw the balance over way more. As for what the survivors chose, they tend to lean towards NK because the town always villifies them, even when they are or agreeing to work with town. It's the stupid in and out group tribal mentality that destroys lives. If town was more fair to survivors, then the survivors would side with town more than they do. ALSO, fairness IS important, even in chaotic modes. Having chaos doesn't mean you can't have fairness too.

GFs and Arsos often claim BG
SKs often claim Doc
WWs often claim Exe.
Point doesn't add up.

Anyway, that being said, this Coward based version would make Surv a much better role.

Fair warning, I know many of the ideas in this are pretty shitty/unbalanced, but I have a lot more knowledge of role mechanics and balancing now than I did then.

Read the first paragraph. Now I know the wiki is not the best source of info in the world but it is the best I can come up with. From what it sounds like Neutral Benign roles are supposed to (although not required) be kingmakers. If this is what BMG had in mind for making roles like survivor then thats basically the end of it. If it was made to be a kingmaker for some games then let it be. This is what I think as far as survivor goes.

- It's actually the complete opposite, we are trying to remove all kingmakers from the game.
- If there is in fact a rule like that in the Wiki, that needs to be changed.
- Also the best source of information on how to make roles is in RI stickied topics.

1. That would be really hard. Anything can be a kingmaker at any point. For example in a Chaos mode it serial killer could be a kingmaker. Not to mention most of that post was just to mention that if BMG, the owners of the game, Want survivors to be king makers then it would most likely not happen. Although kingmakers can be unbalanced a lot of the community like kingmakers. take it from him

2. please explain

3. I would say the best info would come from BMG itself. I know the wiki is not BMG themselves but that was the best I could find. If BMG did have problems with kingmakers then they would probably do something about it.
