Jester doesn’t suck !!! >:(

compact blade
#

Ight post links and I'll place them in the original message

half axle
#

I’d even like to rework inquis

compact blade
#

Ok so what is good about jester?

half axle
#

“Haha funy”

bold quartz
#

Jester is fun it’s unique it’s different to the rest of the game

compact blade
#

You can talk about Inquisitor

bold quartz
#

And I don’t think it really has anything bad about it existing

half axle
#

What does inquis do again

compact blade
#

Unique is not always a good thing nuggy

half axle
#

I need to check

lost stratus
#

Me when nuggy likes Jester

bold quartz
#

In jester’s case it is

trim kindle
half axle
#

No I like jester

#

It’s fun

#

But it’s not that balanced

bold quartz
#

Jester is so funnn

#

I would be actually so sad if it got removed

trim kindle
#

I dont like any of the NEs balance wise
But Jester is rlly fun

lost stratus
#

i think Jester is the single most boring ass role

half axle
#

Jester is a social role

compact blade
#

I mean rn btos2 jester is just tos1 jester

half axle
#

In a not social game

trim kindle
flint adder
#

exe got replaced right

half axle
#

Yeah

bold quartz
#

Exe got replaced with inquis

half axle
#

Jester’s issue is that it’s a social role in a very not social game

compact blade
#

Yeah exe got replaced but we can probably bring it back

fringe siren
#

Jesters actual effect on the game is so
Eeccchdhdu

lost stratus
#

but i do recognise that people like jester

#

doesn't mean i like the role

half axle
#

Jester either:

  1. Gets lucky and gets hung
  2. Gets unlucky and dies/doesn’t get hung
fringe siren
#

Anyway eh may as well just grab this for here

lost stratus
half axle
#

Jester rewards looking like scum in a game where scumreading rarely ever happens

bold quartz
#

Jester you can win consistently as

#

But you can also win

#

Without trying

#

Which sucks

lost stratus
#

Jester is fine IRL/Games where mechanics are unreliable

half axle
#

Jester rarely ever wins by their own merit

lost stratus
#

they're fun

half axle
#

It’s luck

flint adder
#

How about letting Jester haunt someones house every night (after death), scaring all visitors off (“You were scared off by a Jester” + no night feedback)

bold quartz
#

I win like all the time as Jest

lost stratus

(unless it's Boomdandy, fuck Boomdandy)

Boomdandy is just golem+

NO I DONT WHAT

#

I have gone on record calling it terrible

#

You enjoy Vizier

half axle
#

You enjoy riot 🤮

fringe siren
#

I also do not enjoy Riot

#

I am Amicable to Riot but it is still very flawed

half axle
#

||this is a joke Amelia enjoys none of these things they have good takes||

fringe siren
#

💀

compact blade
#

Ight send in rework links and I'll add them to the main post

fringe siren
#

Anyway NEs

compact blade
#

@tawdry sun can you pin?

fringe siren
#

Raki is not a mod so no

compact blade
#

Fuck

#

Who the hell is mod?

#

@bold quartz can you pin?

tawdry sun
#

lOL

#

force of habit moment

compact blade
#

It really was

bold quartz
#

LOL

#

Oof

bold quartz
#

We should prob have more people who can pin

tawdry sun
#

I gotchu

bold quartz
#

THANK U BESTIE

compact blade
#

Honestly yeah, maybe if you have 5 suggestion posts with good reception you can pin?

bold quartz
#

Btw I had to ask tuba

#

To allow me to pin stuff and delete posts

#

Curt didn’t give me that ability xd

compact blade
#

Gotcha

bold quartz
#

/threat directed at curt

compact blade
#

Anyways, NE discussion

#

We should fix doomsayer

bold quartz
#

Oh boy

#

Luck be with y’all

fringe siren
#

Doomsayer moment

bold quartz
#

Low key prefer doom over rit skullcry

fringe siren
#

I dont know how to fix it because the fix I was originally going to propose a long while ago uhh

#

Was inquisitor

bold quartz
#

Oooop lmfaoooo

compact blade
#

Honestly we could just make do into another role

half axle
#

I really wish discord would allow the post OP to ping shit

compact blade
#

I might have something

maiden rune
#

Maybe a rework on doom to only kill 2 people

compact blade
#

The only issue with this is it's quite similar to inquisitor

fringe siren
#

ALPHABETICAL FIRST ROLE NAME

compact blade
#

What?

fringe siren
#

This role
Is looking for the alphabetical first role name 💀

compact blade
#

It's basically a wolf lord role

#

It's funny

fringe siren
#

Yes I have seen Wolford dullaghan I thought it was cringe but you do you

half axle
#

I’d suggest a TOR RO but none of them are really unique

fringe siren
#

Admittedly cringe in a funny way

#

But

half axle
#

And the ones that are don’t work in TOS

compact blade
fringe siren
#

Then suggest Usurper

compact blade
#

I also got this

compact blade
grim osprey
#

Oh we are talking about NEs... Oh goodness.

half axle
#

Should I play PTN

#

Why not Raki

grim osprey
#

Idk.

compact blade
#

Raki knows jackshit about ptn

tawdry sun
#

because it's funny to bully ptn

compact blade
#

Ok but why?

grim osprey
#

Do you want like 120 diff roles to think about in the back of your head?

#

If not then no xd

tawdry sun
#

The only thing you say when things are brought up is
"This is literally usurper"

half axle
#

Speaking of PTN and over-discord SDGs

#

I’m doing a lot of renovation on TOR

tawdry sun
#

I hope you receive undercooked spaghetti from a high end restaurant

fringe siren
#

I mean okay I bully ptn over role bloat

compact blade
#

That's fair

#

I've been busy, once I'm free for a bit I'll probably start deleting some things

half axle
#

Aren’t there like 20 factions

compact blade
#

4.5 factions

#

And I'll probably delete one

half axle
#

Same difference

grim osprey
compact blade
#

Anyways doesn't matter

#

NE discussion

#

How do we feel about this

fringe siren
#

Well
I shot my shot for exe, I dunno how to change doomsayer, Jester I'm not touching with a ten foot pole

#

And pirate will probably not change

compact blade
#

Jester will probably stay how it is rn

#

Which is just tos1 jest

half axle
#

Jester is fine ig

#

For now

grim osprey
#

I mean we got Pirate reworks so I'm not worried.

fringe siren
compact blade
#

It doesn't have 2 kills yet

half axle
#

It only has 1

fringe siren
#

I just don't like reworking Jester because it's Jester and people are too attached

fringe siren
half axle
#

…?

#

Well

fringe siren
#

It has 2 in modded

half axle
#

Funnnnnn

bold quartz
#

I think they tried to give it two

half axle
#

I hate it now

bold quartz
#

I have no idea if it actually does or not

fringe siren
#

I dont know if it works either but that was the plan

bold quartz
#

I feel like I remember it being the same

compact blade
#

I swear to God if it does

bold quartz
#

Could’ve been changed tho

#

I know they wanted to give it two

fringe siren
#

Well okay it had a non functional torment lol

#

But it's supposed to have two

compact blade
#

Btw I'm probably gonna do another discussion thread for today, what should I base it around?

half axle
#

CK

#

TPow

#

CPow

grim osprey
#

Power

#

I mean C pow lol

#

Freaking autocorrect.

compact blade
#

I was thinking something a bit more minor, and then do CPow/tpow tomorrow

#

I could do CK

grim osprey
#

Then... Idk TS?

compact blade
#

I'll probably do CK or TK

grim osprey
#

Then CK

compact blade
#

Because TK currently has a bunch of issues

fringe siren
#

TK is
Well

grim osprey
#

CK only has Conjurer.

fringe siren
#

Vigilante and Trickster are fine but then Veteran and Deputy are sure there

grim osprey
#

Both of the others suck baaaad

half axle
#

Vigilante is not fine

compact blade
#

Ight I'll do TK today and I'll do TPow, CPow, and CK tomorrow

#

Or later today, idk

grim osprey
half axle
#

It has 3 kills and hangman

grim osprey
#

Yeah. So lower the max potential but also get rid of hangman.

#

It's not rocket science lmao

compact blade
#

Ok ok, back on track everyone

#

Ne discussion thread

half axle
#

I like you’re takes

grim osprey
#

Hey that's what I'm known for. Naaaaaah jk.

potent trout
#

Jester kills 2 ppl its twice the funnies

compact blade
#

Balancing over the funniest isn't always a good idea

main spire
#

jest is inconsequential and just doesnt exist

#

doom is still doom

#

#1200470432529268826 i did this for exe

potent trout
#

For doom I think that it should kill 1 by 1

#

So like if you guess mayor dep conj.

The night where you win Mayor dies

1 night later Dep dies

2 nights later conj dies

#

It would randomly kill them so there's no choosing who dies first or it would have a priority system like Town -> Coven -> Apoc -> NS -> NE -> NK

main spire
#

for doom id like this

  • only one role of each alignment(only one tk, ti, tpow,
  • can guess ti
  • reveals doomed evils roles
frigid wigeon
#

Inquisitor doesn't need to changed

main spire
#

inquis is fine

#

its just a surv type role that does it good unlike actual nbs

compact blade
#

Inquisitor is a role, it should be fine

main spire
#

it is fine

#

also its how i just found out cs lost defense

#

i thought i died to a bug

#

but it was cuz cs dont have defense

frigid wigeon
#

Lol

main spire
#

and curtis is an L

frigid wigeon
#

I feel like exe and jest are way too similar

#

There is like difference

dapper dawn
#

jest is bad for the games health

main spire
#

jest isnt bad for the games health

dapper dawn
#

because it's easy to win as and contributes literal nothing to hurt town

main spire
#

its just inconsequential

dapper dawn
#

didn't they buff it here tho

main spire
#

it does nothing

#

double kills

dapper dawn
#

it does 2 kills now right?

#

eh

main spire
#

yeah

#

solves nothing

fringe siren
#

Jester still punishes lynching scummy players which
"Yay"

dapper dawn
#

jester shouldn't show sus

#

ever

main spire
#

yeah

dapper dawn
#

getting lynched because a sheriff found you sus n1 is so dumb

#

and it punishes town

frigid wigeon
#

Both need someone hanged
Both have some sort of defense
Both take someone with them when they leave

dapper dawn
#

half of those

#

are characteristics of all NE

main spire
#

yeah

dapper dawn
#

defense is a neutral characteristic

main spire
#

also jest is a reverse exe and vice versa

#

very different gameplay

dapper dawn
#

being removed from the game is also just NE characteristic

frigid wigeon
#

Get someone Hanged

dapper dawn
#

so you can't use those

frigid wigeon
#

That's the playstyle

dapper dawn
#

is a very different task

#

one affects how other people act towards another play

#

one affects how players act towards you

frigid wigeon
#

I'm not saying they are exactly the same

dapper dawn
#

I never said that

dapper dawn
#

they are different enough

#

to where it changes the game

frigid wigeon
#

Eh..

dapper dawn
#

idk if I like Inquisitor tbh

#

it feels weird

frigid wigeon
#

I do

dapper dawn
#

some games you're anti evil

#

and some games you're anti town

frigid wigeon
#

Ig it isn't werid for me since I play ToL

dapper dawn
#

it's not consistently anti everyone cause you will get 1/2 splits in ranked proba

#

and if you get 1/1/1 well then the neutral now has another person on their case

frigid wigeon
#

Yea getting a neutral killed is kinda hard especially if they know inquisitor exists

sharp wagon
#

I used to like jest

#

But now it’s really mid for me

lost stratus
lost stratus
#

it's just bad

#

boring

#

and doesn't really add anything much to the gamet

sharp wagon
#

Mid in enjoyment

#

Bad in role design

#

I hate how jest is designed because it’s too easy to win by doing nothing

#

But when I’m jest I play somewhat actively and make questionable wills and I end up dying at night instead

#

It feels so weird, I guess I’m trying too hard?

lost stratus
sharp wagon
#

It could be worse imo but it’s gotten more bland because of the player base

#

The “let’s lynch jest” mentality

Alright, we're back, imma try to do more of these once I actually move at the end of this month, but with help from @toxic canopy I have made more questions

  1. Should NE be anti-town?
  2. Can a mostly or fully anti-town NE coexist with NP?
  3. Should NE be able to kill more evils than town?
  4. Should NE be able to harm neutrals?
  5. Is anti-everyone a mechanic that should exist?
  6. Should nonkilling NE roles exist?
  7. How severe should a punishment for a NE winning be?
  8. A. What is the purpose of each NE role individually? B. Do the NE roles serve their purpose well and in a healthy manner?
  9. A. What is the purpose of NE as a whole? B. Does the slot serve this purpose well and in a healthy manner?
  10. Should NEs be unique
  11. Should there be a limit to how many NEs can spawn
  12. Would you rework Jester and if so how would you?
  13. Would you rework Executioner and if so how would you?
  14. Would you rework Doomsayer and if so how would you?
  15. Would you rework Inquisitor and if so how would you?
  16. Would you rework Pirate back in NE and if so how would you
  17. Any additional thoughts on the topic of NE?

  1. YES? THAT MAKE EXIST NC AND MAKE IT SO NE IS NP-LITE LIKE EXE IN MODDED
  2. Yeah lol, it should be able to
  3. No
  4. No
  5. No but people find it chaotic and fun don't expect it to go
  6. yeah sure if you do 1.
  7. depends on how hard it is to win as the EXE
  8. Exe + jester = to cast doubts on Ti claims, Doom as the anti-VFR, inquis... exists?... Exe in modded is fine, jester sucks but eh, doom i fucking hate it's too swingy and 99% of the time helps town, Insquis just... exists still
  9. honestly no fucking idea, Ne in tos1 was like Exe, a purely supportive evil (well until he won and became a kingmaster), jester was still jester, and Witch is the reason why NP exist (i think)
  10. eh don't care
  11. eh don't care
  12. honesty i have 0 clue on how to, i rather just move it to NC
  13. i wouldn't it perfect
  14. idk, i rather just move it to NC
  15. Idk, i rather just move it to NC
  16. keep that bitch in NS
  17. NE is flawed and Btos2 exe showed us the way on how it can be fixed
    imma just be honest, i want solutions that will work in base-game
    the devs mostly likely see jester and doom as "fine" and don't want NPs in the game
    so fuck it, move doom and jester to NC (and I GUESS, base-game pirate)
    and let's get more leavable evil supportive roles like btos2 exe
#

because at the end of the day

#

sure we could make doom anti-town

#

but alot of people wouldn't like that, espically the more acutal people

#

so fuck it it

#

shove it in NC

#

and get new roles like btos2 exe

#

in NE

#

since NE in base-game and in modded other than modded EXE

#

act like NC anyway

#

btw i wann make it so

#

exe -> jester X
exe -> [wipname] (same thing as jester but can only target town)

#

so no real change

lofty dagger
#

just make new roles and allignments

#

it would be the much easier option

compact blade

I mean I was yapping about that yesterday

# compact blade Alright, we're back, imma try to do more of these once I actually move at the en...

1: they should be at least somewhat anti-town, not help town otherwise we have the fkn survivor problem
2: yes
3: it could, because getting locked out of a win due to all the townies dying too fast (aka doing your anti-town job well) is not healthy
4: yes
5: yes
6: that's called neutral pariah so nah
7: around doom impact level i'd say, but it depends on which NE and how easy it is for them to win (more difficult wincons get higher impact)
8: jest is iconic, exe means TI claims and D2 pushes have some doubt on them, doom is anti VFA, and pirate is a chaotic little goober, inquis is exe but better, imo doom doesn't do its job well enough but it does a better job of it than rit, exe fails completely and inquis is not as bad but still not the most impactful
9: NE is a chaos slot that serves various purposes that would otherwise be difficult to do with factional roles, and occasionally a double-edged sword against town as they mostly harm town but also are much more unreliable teammates for evils as they could very well harm them too, i'd say if this is what they are intended to do they do it fairly decently (except exe)
10: no, otherwise the moment a doom dies d2 everyone just fullclaims anyways, defeating the purpose of the role
11: nah, it'll either be too high to affect most games or have the same issue as question 10
12: no, its a silly little goober
13: fucker's wtos2 executioner seems fine as a rework, but honestly the torment mechanic needs to be reworked entirely at minimum. Maybe have exe always have a town target and if their target dies they get a new target thats town, and when all town dies exe targets anyone, torment randoming on guilties could still work with this to bring back the double-edged sword part but a different rework to torment might be better
14: #1253825206854746193
15: nah
16: i'm not the best person to ask for this
17: separating NE into NE and NC might be a better idea but idgaf

#

exe should be able to switch targets if their target dies instead of becoming a completely different fucking role

#

honestly i dont give a fuck

compact blade
tulip wing
#

there is no way devs would delete jester

compact blade
#

But it can protect it's target during the night

#

Ok fair enough

tulip wing
compact blade
#

There can be a contingency if the target dcs

tulip wing
#

maybe instead of that

#

you redirect all visits to ur target

#

onto urself

compact blade
#

That's literally what it is

tulip wing
#

fair

compact blade

I haven't posted it yet since when I showed it someone literally called it more unbalanced than a town witch

# compact blade Alright, we're back, imma try to do more of these once I actually move at the en...
  1. Yes, if they aren't anti-town, they'll work with town.
  2. Wouldn't see why not.
  3. They shouldn't be able to kill more, if there's a low town count, maybe they can harm evils.
  4. Personally, no.
  5. anti-everyone should be a neutral special gimmick, or somehow limited to more specific modes. (or if low-town count)
  6. It could be fun.
  7. I think that depends on what the NE was doing and how much damage it has to do just to win.
  8. A. Exe and Jester make people more cautious of TI info, Doom stops vfr, Inq was meant to replace exe (to my knowledge) and act I guess a bit of a vfr deterrent. B. I think Doom and Inq need heavy alterations, jester could be a bit more anti-town personally.
  9. I've personally coined the term NuisancE sub-faction, because I feel their main gimmick is their distracting knack, or ability to hinder town's ability to gain upper hands. (TI results, vfr meta)
  10. Yes and no, I think there should be a modifier so certain lists can be more viable.
  11. Personally, 3, maybe 4, more than that and town will just be head hurt the entire time.
  12. #1253651728495149088, makes people actually scared of it.
  13. Personally think it's fine.
  14. More focus on town, harder for it to mess up evils (coven is hurt so much by doom)
  15. Inquisitor is... a multi-layered role, I honestly think a re-evaluation of it probably would do well (act like it's a new concept and make the role again).
  16. Pirate, personally, would do well if it didn't just, kill people randomly. I think ability stealing would be interesting. (potentially it only steals towns abilities, it steals from 2 people, when it leaves one of them dies, everyone else gets their abilites back, something like that.)
  17. As I've said, NuisancE is what I think NE should turn into, not a town annihilation sub-faction. Honestly Doom and Inq should be a different sub-faction, maybe a Neutral Reveal or something, because they just, kill so many people at once.

Was at a party, sorry for the late reponse.

#

specifically on 12, I think jester at it's current state can be too easily used as a town tool.

#

letting it guess anyone stops the "tpow don't guilty" meta

tulip wing
#

if so then ignore it

wind goblet
#

well not guess, haunt

compact blade

Before this server was made

tulip wing
#

huh

#

idk

compact blade
#

I can probably find it

#

Whoever said it and the message

#

#1039942123014856724 message @tulip wing

#

And you can scroll up to see my version

#

Oh your simply not in tuba's server

tulip wing
#

🫃

#

ok

#

thats interesting

#

can i post a version of exe heavily based on that?

compact blade
#

Sure?

tulip wing
#

ok

compact blade
#

If you want I can send you more PtN stuff

tulip wing
#

nah its fine

compact blade
#

Or you can wait for V2 PtN which will be way more balanced

compact blade
wind goblet
#

Lemme just, start this debate rq:

Doomsayer and Inquisitor should be a different sub-faction themed on neutral with a specific, non total annihilation themed goal. (aka non-town wipe, but still a good portion of town)

compact blade
#

Nah that's too specific

#

Once again with PtN, the way neutrals are done would benefit tos2 alot

wind goblet
#

I mean you can also make a broader bucket at the same time

#

like, doom and inq could be Neutral Destruction, and could be a part of Neutral Nuisance as a group bucket

compact blade
#

Wildcard Order (Neutral Power) is jackal or vampire type roles, they are their own faction but not big enough to get a unique alignment

Wildcard deception (neutral deception) is roles like Executioner or jester that heavily rely on the trials system

Wildcard Injustice (Neutral Evil) neutral roles that are generally bastards to town and can be menaces to everyone, roles like doomsayer or Inquisitor

Wildcard Evil (Neutral Pariah) I mean, y'know the drill

Wildcard Chaos (Neutral Chaos?) literally your misc wildcard section, for stuff like that surv rework or cs (if there was only 1 cs allowed)

lofty dagger
#

I'm just saying, we need NC back and more roles like btos2 exe as kinda like an np lite

wind goblet
#

I'm not saying no btw

compact blade
#

I mean tbf PtN has a shit ton of neutrals

#

Lemme get the link for the drive, I'm already using a different drive for V2

wind goblet
#

I also feel like more NEs (not sure how we'd get them) would be neat, part of why I'm pushing for NE to just be nuisance instead of the anti-meta subfaction

wind goblet
#

them having anti-meta properties is fine, but I see them as just, roles to mess town up without exactly killing half of them in the process

compact blade
#

.2. Factions
.7. Wildcards

lofty dagger
#

Also CN would only be Ne and Np still

tulip wing
#

#1254621046573633667

lofty dagger
#

No I like current modded exe

compact blade
lofty dagger
#

Eh

#

It's not bad but I would have them turn into literal jester

#

Town killer only jest

compact blade
#

I mean slap this onto current exe and we solid

lofty dagger
#

Maybe a new naje

Well my opinions are spicy

distant spruce
# compact blade Alright, we're back, imma try to do more of these once I actually move at the en...
  1. It should be a little anti town but not too much so its only goal is to literally just fuck over town (thats np job)
  2. I feel like NEs shouldnt be mostly anti town in the first place however they can be more evil sided so yeah
  3. NE should choose how they play so it should be possible but it would be a lot harder (its basically midnight for me i have no idea what im yapping about dont bully me)
  4. Yes, Ne is neutral they dont give a shit who they harm they do what needs to be done
  5. Yes, in ranked lists nks are basically anti everyone but for nes it should also be possible
  6. No… unless it has a severe punishment otherwise
  7. It should be a high amount of severity like killing a person or 2 (what they already do) or disrupting the game so people will not give them an easy time winning
  8. Jest to think twice about lynching, exe to not blindly follow leads, doom to counter vfr and inq is just there i guess. B, I would say they are all sufficient but exe and jest arent healthy right now
  9. The purpose of an NE is to counter something like vfr, B I think nes are doing a fine job
  10. No reason they already are unless AA so no, there can be multiple
  11. Again you’re talking aa here so i dont care.
  12. I have no idea
  13. I would make it so its the same as btos2 exe but if ur target dies u get a new one that could be any role, if they die or 3 days pass u auto lose (also no the thing where there are no trials the next day or whatever
  14. This is lazy but make a minimum of one doom town, and a maximum of one doom coven
  15. Inquis doesnt have a problem but it doesnt like counter vfr or do something like that so its chillin like a villan
  16. Keep it in NS
  17. Nes are goofy
    Note: its like midnight im tired no bully please
tulip wing
#

theyre immune to jest haunt, if exe torment roulettes NP is ignored, doom cant guess NP, NP survives inquis attack and can't be heretic, and idk pirate can do whatever the fuck it wants

#

thats the only exception to NE's anti everyone i feel is good

compact blade
#

You wanna answer some questions @bold quartz?

bold quartz
#

What

#

Oh

#

Sorry I just woke up so I am tired at lmfaooo

wind goblet
#

I'll say this to see response, inquisitor's existence needs to be reconsidered, what it does now is... odd, I'm not saying for it to be removed, but it's abilities and length of powers need to be re-considered, right now it just causes specific roles to have a target on their back that can't really be defended from.

Doomsayer of course has to stay for anti-vfr reasons, but I do think it needs to not guess evils so easily.

#

Thought of a doom ability,
Peer ( ☀️ ♾️ ) [unlocked after d1]
Guess the faction of one person, if correct, you are informed so.

This would let other roles be harder to guess while still having a way to bring them into a smaller selection of roles to choose from. (being able to bucket guess coven is wild to me tbh)

#

This is separated because that concept can be on it's own, but, to make Peer more risky, if you guess wrong, that person is informed they were peered at?

#

Neutrals are Neutral, compliance and pandora take over what the role would of been, NS roles that cause their own faction would be Neutral. (If doom can even guess NS)

distant spruce
#

But how would you win

wind goblet
#

you... still guess people?

#

it's an added mechanic, to balance the fact it'll be harder to guess factions

#

pretty much if someone says they're a specific role, or if you just have an inclination, you can make a check

#

it doesn't remove evil guessing, I feel like that'd break a very prominent piece of doomsayer, it just makes it where you can go "this guy say's they're trapper... lets see if they're actually town. You select them and night happens, they aren't town knew it."

#

since guessing evil is, typically the way doom tries to, slip in the last guess so it can actually pass, knowing 3 people in a game either requires a lot of tpow, players who can't shut up, or a very, very lucky game. Evil guessing is your safety net for that 3rd candidate, and I think that's, meh, evils shouldn't be doom's "I'll coven and just hope it's right so I win"

#

doom is meant to read, and sus people, not just guess and pray (though it is a strategy, it should just not be built to be a very viable one)

compact blade
#

I still don't want more than 1 evil killed by doom

wind goblet
#

I agree, but I also find it awkard if they're in a game with high evils or town is just, dead

#

which, making roles have to fit to specific modes is not something I want to do

#

they need to be the same in all modes mechanically, not just changed to fit a specific one's needs

compact blade
#

So just make it if there's equal or more evils than town, you can guess more than one evil

wind goblet
#

would it be, a silent trigger, or communicated to doom?

compact blade
#

Communicated

wind goblet
#

hrm

#

maybe subtract TI?

#

or just at a small enough amount of people it also unlocks

compact blade
#

Tbf if you subtract ti, there are times where you can potentially get that message n1-2

#

Could also give you the message if it's physically impossible to win

#

So if there's 4 tis and one TPow left and 2 evils

#

You can guess more than one evil

#

"A surge of dark energy flows into you, you can now select more than one evil role"

wind goblet
compact blade
#

Then suffer?

wind goblet
#

pirate moment real

compact blade
#

NEs shouldn't be easy?

wind goblet
#

(kidding)

compact blade
#

Also just wait until one of the 4 townies die

wind goblet
#

i guess that's also very, game dependent

compact blade
#

Then it's equal, that's such a nonissue

wind goblet
#

if it's two sets of killers

compact blade
#

NEs shouldn't necessarily be easy to win as

lost stratus
#

NE shouldn't exist. Period.

#

If a game has need for NE's, that's a huge flaw within the game's core

#

unless said NEs are Jester and Exe

#

even then, i completely despise Jest

#

Jest is not really that much of a necessary evil as much as Executioner is

#

since well

#

If you need a reason to think twice before hanging someone, myslinches exist

main spire
#

yeah

#

mislynches do it better

#

and dont go against the fucking point of stealthers

lost stratus
#

the only NE i like is Exe because it's a suicidal pushing machine, which serves to ease the burden on evils and make people think twice on Agressive townies specificaly

#

and it would still be NE regardless if it only helped evils

#

you know why?

#

Because NP As a Subalignment is a WINCON

#

To be NP you just need the Wincon

#

not that Wincon? not NP

compact blade
#

You should fully answer the questions gab

lost stratus
compact blade
#

Lmao fair

lost stratus
#

yeah Emmet i am written by Vivziepop now you fucker

wind goblet
# lost stratus NE shouldn't exist. Period.

I do also think the gimmick of haunting that jester and exe have are, somewhat extra? I get it, but just them succeeding is wasting town's time, which I honestly think should be what NE is, not just "oh haha you got tricked now I'ma kill you."

Doom and Inq honestly don't feel like NE in my heart, they feel just, different tbh

#

though that's probably a controversial opinion

#

wonder if it's possible to get the statistics of how often town wins when a (or more) NEs win

#

specifically jester and exe

#

I'd say at most NE should cause the death of one person, because it's their goal

#

I know that's a wild take though

wind goblet
wind goblet
#

yea it's just

#

extra

#

unneeded

lost stratus

Gabby likes how you balance I guess?

lost stratus
#

also Rat is a cool fella from what i've saw

severe wraith
#

NE exist as a holdover of PR madness for the sake of PR madness

tulip wing
#

heres the thing

severe wraith
#

Party game Mafia, for example, was played with no serious competitive environment in mind

tulip wing
#

jester won't get changed because its iconic and fun to play as

severe wraith
#

It was just a place to socialize and goof off

tulip wing
#

exe is fine

#

doom serves a critical purpose of being anti VFR but it could get changed (like #1253825206854746193 or smt)

lost stratus
#

you either love it or hate it

tulip wing

and its iconic asf

i doubt its gonna get changed

lost stratus
#

50% is higher than any role

I still have no idea what I want to do with jester in PtN

tulip wing
#

pirate is a lost cause

#

and inquis can honestly just do whatever

lost stratus
#

Inquis

tulip wing
lost stratus
#

it certainly is a role

tulip wing
#

🤷‍♀️

tulip wing
lost stratus
#

Jester is in a Subalignment with 0 Kills

tulip wing
#

just have it win when it gets hung

#

no need for haunting

#

or have it hard roleblock all guilties

lost stratus
tulip wing
#

or do the 'public humiliation' where a town member's role is revealed to all evils and theyre isolated permanently

#

🤷‍♀️

lost stratus
#

for now it's skip a day

tulip wing
#

doesnt that just give town longer to think

lost stratus
tulip wing
#

so it hard rbs all townies

#

👍

lost stratus

thats a good idea

#

gives evils incentives to hang jester

i think Fool from ToL did something similar

where is my jester rework??????

it is

#

it's the hillarious one

like

tulip wing
#

hangman was added to remove ref to suicides

lost stratus
#

i like it but not for Jester

tulip wing
#

i doubt theres any chance it gets added

wind goblet
#

Jester will likely stay the same ( other things need to get fixed sooner stares at doom )

tulip wing
#

would probably be the best way to approach it

#

there is a few ppl who really like doom tho

compact blade
wind goblet
#

If we do have the separation of NEs for the more killing ones and the nuisance ones, the suggestions I'd have...

compact blade
#

Gotta love mobile

tulip wing
#

lol

young ridge
#

should i just re-flavor and make it a diff role

lost stratus
#

i really like the idea of Neutral (Deception)

young ridge
#

i mean jester wont ever get a rework with its current state i dont think

#

so just making it what I said isn't a bad idea

wind goblet
#

Thoughts on NE being split? (to make it two sub-factions, with a bucket that includes all the old NE roles so current lists don't have to be null)

main spire
#

how bout the pits to them all

#

if pariah stops nes from being able to be anti town

#

then nes should go

wind goblet
main spire
#

its the sentiment of many however

lofty dagger
#

there is no need to make

#

50 new sub-allignments

#

for neutrals

#

like "neutral depective"

#

i think that's just

#

way too much

lofty dagger
#

too many sub-allignments

wind goblet
#

I honestly just want two, ones that kill many, and ones that kill zero to two (technically one, but exe is weird)

#

because to say that doom/inq are similar to jest/exe is wild

tulip wing
#

neutral chaos: fuck everyone except neutral pariahs, they cool
neutral evil: fuck everyone, but more fuck town, with fuck everyone as a backup
neutral pariah: fuck town specifically, but im a pacifist
neutral killing: murder
neutral special: all of the above

lofty dagger
#

i want NE to just be

#

fuck town

tulip wing
#

yes but they also have fuck everyone as a backup

lofty dagger
#

NC is the fuck everyone one

tulip wing
#

in case they do their job

#

a bit too well

lofty dagger
#

also what/

wind goblet
#

I mean high evil count, low town, they live late in the game

lofty dagger
#

???

main spire
#

like if all town dies

lofty dagger
#

ah

tulip wing
main spire
#

the ne shouldnt get punished for helping evils obliterate town

lofty dagger
#

ah ok now i get it

tulip wing
#

i dont want neutral evils to just be locked out of their wincon

lost stratus
lofty dagger
#

honestl

#

honestly

tulip wing
#

like if we have exe that switches targets if their target dies and only targets town, they should be able to get evils as targets if town wipes

#

as an example

lofty dagger
#

idk what the fuck do with NE if all town dies

tulip wing
#

and not just spontaneously explode if its 2 town and a vigi believes them a bit too much

(i said it as an example)

but pariah are infinitely better

like functionally doom and inq function so differently, I don't like it on any level that it's just roped in together. They can keep their bucket with each other, but functionally they can't just be the same sub-faction

lofty dagger

honestly

#

idk

#

@main spire it's just

#

btos2 exe is in a weird position

main spire
#

its a problem yeah

#

my solution to fixing this dillemma would require a whole new game

lofty dagger

where we ever
crave out a new allignment for it
and move jest, doom, inquis/pirate to another one
or we just... idk do something to make it an NP???

main spire

if bmg survives the death of tos2

idk man Np-lite is really weird

id say tos3 should just have pariahs and no nes

so many fucking questions

what happened to inquis being a good role that everyone was praising

wind goblet
#

you know what would be interesting? make inq a NS with a mode that has like 3 of them (random thought)

inquis is a FUN role

lofty dagger

it's not a well balanced one

I

lofty dagger

INQUIS IS FUN, not balanced

I think making it a NS would honestly be the best for it tbh

tulip wing
#

you cannot tell me old deputy isnt fun

lofty dagger
#

atleast not for base-game

#

for modded then yeah sure

main spire
#

oh definitely for basegame

lofty dagger
#

since NP exists, we don't need NP-LITE

theres a couple who should burn

i'll pst it rn

Isn't socialite literally just a bouncer in base game?

#

Why the fuck is it lookout?

lofty dagger
#

@main spire ok imma just be fucking honest
i full fucking agree
but your going to miss off so many fucking players
by just burning a shit ton of roles
people like, and this will fucking cause peoiple to be pissed
people LIKE chaotic roles no matter how bad it is for the balancing of the game
people LIKE anti-everyone
so this is why for base-game i want NC to be a thing
and NE to become NP-LITE if NP never come to base-game

main spire

and if someone gets bounced they cant be bounced again

this is why old dep is still there in tos2 base game

tulip wing
#

lofty dagger
#

that

tulip wing
#

i said np wincon

#

#

u said smt about NE having NP wincon as a secondary win condition

lofty dagger
#

no

#

witch-con

tulip wing
#

same thing

lofty dagger
#

no

tulip wing
#

np wincon is witch-con

lofty dagger
#

you have to be

#

alive

#

no

#

np doesn't have to be alive

tulip wing
#

eh alright then

#

well if it dies first for helping evils it shouldnt get punished for that

NP should just replace NE straight up

lofty dagger
#

yeah but that isn't happening

young ridge
#

NE should be deleted and all NE’s reworked into Np

lofty dagger
#

in base-game

young ridge
#

ToS doesn’t benefit from NE ever at all

wind goblet
#

NE needs to turn into annoyance instead of non-direct murders and whatever doom and inq are doing in that sub-faction

steady field

yup, still works

wind goblet
#

no? NPs want to stay alive

steady field
#

NP dying means the CL doesn't die

#

or Death

wind goblet
#

yea but, jester just wants to get itself, it has, no reason to care about anything else

steady field
#

of course, dying is always worse than just not dying normal
but it's a lot more favorable for the NP to die instead of a factional evil

wind goblet
#

but NPs whole gimmick is actively trying to give an upperhand to evils, not just a one time safety net

steady field
#

you're thinking of current Jester as NP with no changes

#

that's not quite what I'm thinking

wind goblet
#

I mean yes if you change jester it can be NP, what would you change?
