NFM suggestion

Postby Phone0Ix » Tue Oct 16, 2018 2:35 pm

Probs a very dumb suggestion but I think it's fun for new players
Add Tracker, Detective and Crusader to it. This will create more variety with the roles. Also instead of my original idea, I made a new one:

Town Investigative
Town Investigative
Town Protective
Town Investigative or Protective
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen
Mafia Head
Random Mafia
Executioner

This would also add the chaos of Exe in and ppl would doubt each other and stuff.
Maf head would be godfather or caporegime and rm either Blackmailer, Consort, Consigliere, Watcher, Janitor, Framer, or Disguiser. (No prankster because no ts)
Inv results:
Citizen/Godfather
Lookout/Tracker/Blackmailer/Watcher
Sheriff/Doctor/Executioner/Janitor
Investigator/Crusader/Disguiser/Consigliere
Detective/Marshal/Consort
Framer
Call me Phone Ig

Or Silver because of my old discord name. Or Mikan because of my new discord name. Or Julian as that's my actual name

No. Exe is a hated role as it is reliant on RNG. Before stating your desire for a new rolelist you shoukd state why the old one is bad.

First, you can't use roles that aren't used in standard games, whole point of NFM is to teach people, not to make games that are confusing.

Too many town PRs, 1 TP max, 2 TI, 3 maf at least

btw, what's the difference between lookout and watcher?

lookout is town watcher, vanilla watcher can be either alignment, but mafia watcher is OP (it would let mafia find PRs easily in games with only town and mafia) and mainly is used in multiball setups.

Mafia have buffed tracker - agent,

>Caporegime in 2p

Excuse me what the fuck

Also Crusader is like the most overpowered Town Protective role since it is like a Doctor but gets a free Vigi shot upon each successful protection.

Oh wait I was confusing Crusader with a rework of it where it can kill a person if it successfully prots

Still ToS Crusader in this setup is very powerful

Consig does too. It’s just variety + a mafia role which makes Lookout less confirmable. And don’t get me started on that BM/Agent can fake Lookout, because they can but not consistently. Take the latest Episode for example where Mafia had 2 Agents but a single Townie faking their result exposed and instantly confirmed them as Mafia.

No, those are just vanilla names for roles
Watcher is actually the name for both but lookout is what is recognized as watcher here so it is named that to distinguish

Well, when people say watcher, they mean town watcher, i even encountered people calling lookout a watcher in this forum, and please, don't twist my words, i said name "watcher" is generally used to describe town watcher, not role itself

Osservatore sounds overly complicated and unnecessary while Watcher is a much better name. And no, it should not be a Tracker/Lookout combo. Mafia Lookout is already very strong on its own since it can find several PRs and unlike Agent whose weakness is non-visiting PRs like Medium/Veteran, Watcher doesn't have the weakness of thinking PRs may be Citizens.

He didn't make it up himself, OB did.

I am not twisting your words. On this forum, I have never seen anyone refer to it as watched without referring to the role without any sort of alignment.


If you haven't seen doesn't mean people don't say watcher instead of lookout.

Anyway, thing is that TG calls scum aligned watcher a watcher, which is strange and confusing for anyone, who have some experience with vanilla FM.
