Framer can frame mafia

Postby PterryDactyl » Fri Sep 27, 2019 7:21 am

Okay, I know how this sounds initially. I wouldn't be surprised if its previously been brought up and shot down, but...

What if framer could frame mafia? Or even just godfather?

Think about it... there are actual strategic last-second situations in which this could work. I only play classic, so maybe that's why this seems like a good idea, but..

It would be a strategic situation where framer would have to decide: is it worth covering as a jester, or is it gonna make the gf sus? Or could it throw off town more?

Anyways, I think it would be interesting to play with invest results like that I dunno.

Mafia visiting other mafia can throw off Spies as well. Framing another mafia can help in a lot of situations, but again it also could be completely useless in others.
I am all for this, for the sole reason that Mafia could visit other Mafia members to throw off spies, not for the frame portion of it.

And yeah, it's been suggested before :)

Framing the Godfather sounds like a borderline gamethrow to me, but letting the Framer visit the other mafia members sounds like purely a good thing (albeit minor).

I guess I was thinking more in the sense of invest results, yannow? Then its a question: is it worth risking a 'sus' rating to make gf look like they arent gf, or no?

The invest results won't do much in a game, it's very situational at best. It would require an Investigator being in game to begin with (which is not exactly a thing you should bet on).

Framer should be able to mess with all Town Investigative roles. Which includes Investigator, Sheriff, Psychic etc. Perhaps if framer can make their targets appear as evil to a Psychic or make their framed targets appear as Framer to a Potion Master's reveal it would be better. For the Psychic change, it would make it a lot less powerful towards evils as long as the evil has a strong claim as they can claim they were framed. If that is the case, it'd give a reason to Frame other members of the Mafia and/or Town and would give more situations where it'd be useful.

Thoughts?

That idea to nerf the Psychic is good, though I'm not sure we should be focusing on it since it's a Coven role.

Also, to make the framer affect all Town Investigative roles, maybe framed targets appear to visit the kill to Lookouts and Trackers? That might be too powerful, but god knows Framer needs a buff.

How does it do that?

Also doesn't that make it overpowered vs. the Mafia?

Though it also is strong against Mafia/NKs/NCs and other evil roles which don't have a massive KPN ratio.
Juuuust realise Brilliand said the exact same thing.
