I still support this side of the concept, but am unsure on what SK should do to other roleblockers, and see the need for it to be consistent.

Escort and Consort doing the same duty I could understand, but Jailor is far more powerful than Escort.

Although wills should be removed, and that'd help with that.

Also, if a Jailor is killed everyone immediately tackles who was jailed that night and you can't really give any evidense against it so you end up getting killed

Yes, and as unfortunate as that is, it's Neutral Killing. Balancing the game around them, and nerfing arguably their weakest role is not good at all. I've already argued why Jailor role blocks and regardless of whether it's different than Escort & Consort it still does the same basic thing. Role block. It's just more powerful.

Their weakest role? Sk has the fastest kill rate of all the NKs. This isn't a nerf to SK, it's a buff. It's a nerf to Jailor if nothing else so he cannot SK check everybody and know that if nothing else they're not SK.
Here's an added scenario too for you.
SK jailed n1. Jailor's name is Bob. SK decides not to attack, and claims transporter (something stupid yes, but both doc and bg protect against sk attacking) jailor tells SK to transport him.
Jailor jails someone else. SK attacks them and claims he did Trans them, but SK attacked them still. Most likely meaning SK is the jailed target. Bad claims, but it gives the SK much more breathing room than just straight up killing the jailor. Escorts will continue being killed by sk but jailor is almost an instalynch unless you've got a damn good claim.

Thanks for providing a scenario, but I understand why everyone seems to think this is okay.
Yes, the weakest Neutral Killing. Despite it having the fastest Kill rate, it's opponents can bypass immunity. Which is significantly more STRONG than not being able to. In addition, Serial Killer loses to both of which in a 1v1 scenario. Killing its roleblockers is what MAKES Serial Killer have a faster kill rate. That's why it kills ALL of its roleblockers.
Despite being role blocked/jailed. There is a reason why BMG incorporated Jailing into a role block. It dumbfounds me you don't understand this. I'll repeat it, I don't think nerfing Serial Killer, which is what this is, a nerf, despite it helping, it's okay. Because there is no consistency ALL role blockers need to be effected by this, or none at all, otherwise you're making the game LESS balanced. Additionally, Jailor dying by Serial Killer is an even Trade. Everyone wines, bitches, and moans about how powerful Jailor is, well Jailor dying by SK is perfectly reasonable, because 9/10 SK is lynched the following day. That's one powerhouse down, at the cost of one scum, assuming Jailor didn't execute.

Why?
Jailing someone triples as three things, role blocking, night chatting, and kill capability(optional). What makes Serial Killer so strong, or intended to be strong, is its ability to kill faster than any other Neutral Killing. To take away the forced Jailor Kill means taking away auto-killing Escort. Which would be a nerf, despite it helping. Because killing its role blockers is a strength of Serial Killer.
DragonClaw66 wrote:I want to come in and say that I also disagree with this. Like HTE pointed out, if there aren't any Serial Killers kills on one night, the Jailor will just recheck. If there still aren't any Serial Killer kills, it's safe to assume that the jailed was the Serial Killer. If the Jailor dies, you can assume that the Serial Killer just chose not to attack the night before. The Serial Killer can also still put suspicion on others by killing the Jailor directly, anyway.
HereThereEverywhere wrote:Lemme bring it back to life to say that this change shouldn't happen. SK didn't kill last night? Jailor jails last target, no SK kill? Jailor kills SK. Yes, the SK could potentially frame someone this way, but that means they're getting no killing done which harms them a lot. Being jailed repeatedly with no SK kills pretty much confirms the jailed as SK, whereas if SK kills the Jailor then there's a chance that person's not the SK.
