see the standards for "decent" keep rising
mhm
Power creep!
we are in a spot with tos tho where u just can't nerf this stuf
but
yea
So it just is the way it is, not necessarily bad
But it's gonna have metas like that
Because the roles are so strong by default
its sad because I can definitely hyperfixate on the nuances of setup design
but its gonna go over an average tos2 player's head
You can 1f1, you can take hits to good team because you have so many other roles to replace them
imo what makes cleric a good TP should be its consitency. The crus rework I have on testing grounds trades consistency for utility.
this is not a bad idea
Even roles that in other games are strong, are expendable in tos
yea thats whats nuts
Think Village idiot from BOTC
did you know
we have sheriff, seer, inv, etc
Philo VI is strong as fuck
And sheriff is just philo VI
the strongest investigative role in mafia
yyup
and sheriff in this game is considered mid
it is this exact reason I avoid binary evil checkers when im desinging stuff)
Unless it's at least creating a 1f1
binary evil checkers tend to be bad because there's no way to counter their results
yep
but also if sheriff didnt have to deal with the necronomicon it would be a monster at getting uncontestable clears
Tracker is still my favorite TI(in terms of balence) albiet its a bit to hard to fake
seer is what you get when you look at alignment cop and think that's not enough
yea
in pure mafia role design
Arguably anyway but yeah
tracker would be considered a worse sheriff
true.
Geunuine question: would slapping a once/twice per game on seer make it close to balenced
It's a role that can create pitfalls
Pitfalls where evil players just lose by pure chance really
it basically has to be a OPG
which I mean
seamstress
yea lmao
if it remains an every-night, it must resemble tol maid to be even close to balanced
I considered this, possibly honestly
That being pick one player, compare them against your last choice?
although now people will hate seer because it does something once and then never again
maid gets a false negative on 2 royal players
ah
that’s not a nerf though, it’s a 1 day start up and then seer is the exact same
curt said no to that because chaining is supposedly Seer's strongest trait
that is a nerf because you cant confirm half the town by n3
Which is debatable but, uh yeah
(it's not)
I mean it's not wrrong that it's strong
chaining makes you into just flat out an alignment cop
which makes you worse tbh
that is why tol maid has false negatives
as now you are just a foolproof sheriff
(also in tol, maid is vulnerable to the mastermind's detection immunity)
since for some reason seer bypasses detection immuity afaik
so you mean n1 - 1 n2 - 1 2 FRIENDS, n3 - 3, n4 - 3, 4 friends?
or do you mean 1 23 34
jesus christ how did this get over 1000 messages
i’m talking about maid
golem
im comparing maid to seer
ah
that’s just seer but doesn’t work n1 right
sorta????
remember maid still has to use their previous night's check
while seer can choose any pair
so the seer can get information on more players in the same amount of time
1 12 23 34 ect
seer meta in ranked is 12 23 34 ect unless you have more info
that just delays seer by 1 night
yeah
im saying that that meta nerfs seer
doing 12 34 56 78 etc is better
because you get much more info
like seer still blatantly nukes games right now
that only becomes a downside once you add vamps
the only downside compared to alignment cop is that it isn't instantly parsed for you
hardly a downside when you can very easily parse 1f1s
omg nuggy
because then you can check dead players
the funny thing is tho
People trust seer claims
Too much
They will kill everyone you say is enemies before you
I just keep forgetting to claim it LMAO
You can buy yourself way too much time with it
inquis could work
you get told the three Heretics as soon as you get the inquis win con 
mfw i kill inquis and heretics are jailor mayor plaguebearer and then i instantly leave town
me when I get the inquis wincon then proceed to forget the entire gimmick of the role and attempt to kill one of my heretics
fr
I actually based my slime role based off this.
Slime - Neutral (Special)
Attack: None (digest is none)
Defense: None
Unique: False
Role color: #CFFF63
Abilities:
- You may choose a player each night and attempt to Digest them.
Attributes:
- Mimic the win condition, abilities, and attributes of the most recently digested player.
- All players are notified at the beginning of the day which role a slime is now mimicking.
Digest: (♾️)
- If your target dies, you will digest their remains.
- The last will of your target becomes hidden; covered in slime.
- The role of your target becomes hidden; [digested]
(The ability icons slime copies from digested players are gooey compared to the original.)
the only difference is win-condition vs entire role
How is golem supposed to win as pirate without dueling?
I'd assume NS and some NE wincons aren't considered and the golem's wincon remains the same or reverts back to kill them all
Imagine golem copies jester and can't haunt.
i mean you still won and killed someone
it's still jester with extra steps lol
it's 2 evils for free
So no NK, No NE besides jester and maybe Inquisitor, No pirate, No jackal if both recruits dead.
Might as well make golem only copy Town, Coven, Apocalypse, and Neutral pariah win conditions.
Hm I wonder what role is getting added next
And totally won't be forced by the role icon artist
Infinite Goofy I like it
Yeah but also letting it copy jester is funneee
This role does have one massive flaw, if public kills are on, this is a auto confirmed role if it kills Town, now I personally think this is solved if you are forced to attack each night
it's stoned yeah
Sure you can kill someone confirmed to confirm yourself
But now you’re replacing someone who was arguably more useful since you can still swap alignments
^^^
town turncoat
and unless a sdg is tailormade to include town conversion roles (which are reporting goldmines) they tend to never work
Oh I forgot about the stones thing
9 died last night.
They were executed by the Jailor
They left a last will.
JAILOR IS THROWING
Their role was Tracker.
13 died last night.
They were stabbed by a Serial Killer.
We could not find a last will.
Their role was Jailor (Coven).
nono i mean roles that start as town but can be converted to evil roles
uhh, paranormal investigator in onuw
Brute (turns into werewolf if attacked by werewolf) from Wolflord
ok
I just had to do it.
Swaaag
you should pin it
I don't really know how to feel with this role tbh, basically you must hope the role you kill get his condition fullfilled the next day?
You’re more like an NK so, you want to survive to endgame
Swiping a wincon like Jester is just good luck
If you steal jester its basically the luckiest you can get
Mhm
but everyone know you'll be jester golem if you kill one?
If you steal inquis wincon, are the heretics the same
They’re turned to stone
oh yeah I forgot that part
I have no idea how it would even work with inquis
i feel like it should just send you the inq heretics roles
like inq
and you need to hunt them
...although that would change your wincon
Hanging them doesn’t
Idk if that aspect is coded into the inquisitor role itself tho
Tbh it’s prob same for jester thinking about hit
Oh weeellll
I think since golem is only changing its own alignment you can just bake a Jester wincon into it too
Idk I don't know how this game is coded but that seems feasible
why is this a golem tho
yes i like it a lot
i actually love the golem theme
tho im not sure if i like it, if you turn into a townie wincon, you can't kill coven because you will get the wincon of coven
this role seems too easy to self-sabotage
well based off the art
it implies to be a protect like role
which doesnt really fit with the description
well, aren't golems supposed to be guardians?
yeah.
i would like the golem theme to be used for some kind of protective evil role...
tbh a NP that protects could be neat
indeed
gimme a sec to whip something like that up
obviously would need the role reveal thing like Judge and Auditor otherwise you might just be protecting a townie
without knowing
well, but maybe nuggy wants their golem theme to be used for this role specifically and not something else (?
uh oh
Me when a lost wolf does lost wolf things
no
im sure nuggy is fine with inspiration taken
bleh
there needs to be more np that don't just directly learn roles
it's boring
I like ss cause of the difficulty of having to figure out coven/apoc
what if it protects someone with a barrier and when that person is attacked you learn the name and role of attacker
fuck
Make them learn sub alignments like Killing or deception real
i had that typed but i lagged
Golem
Neutral Pariah
Attack: None
Defense: Ethereal
Abilities:
Protect an Evils home
Save a poor souls skin
Protect
Select up to 2 players and visit the first
You will learn your first targets role and alignment
If your first target is Evil Aligned, you will grant them Powerful Defense and make them appear as a Townie visiting your second target
You cannot Protect the same player twice
Get Down(1)(Day)
Usable only if someone other than you is on stand
Forces an Innocent verdict and reveals a Golem has forced it even if they were being innoed
Your target cannot be voted up for the rest of the day
Attributes:
You dont have to select 2 players to use your ability on your first targer
Selecting the same player twice will make them appear to visit nobody

GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT
maybe instead of ending the day the ability works like a GA protect where they cant be voted up again?
tho it might be easier to code the end day
funk spotted
idk i think its better it ends day so that even if golem fluffs up, theres still something it did good
hm it would be broken with apox tho
hm
idk
maybe
Pros prosing them immediately after:
Dep shooting em:
lame trial manipulation
these roles not always existing as counters:
Fair but it’s still usually a possibility


It’s animated by the souls of da people
That’s why it has their win condition
Omg funk 
tbh this just seems like kind of a weird NK to me
if you change wincons you will always be self-sabotaging bc you will be losing people from your faction lmao
and you can't help your faction in anyway since if you kill you turn into the other faction
Also though, you can make deals with people from said factions and work with them
But yeah this was originally an NK but it became NS for obvious reasons lul
i don't see how
i will kill enemies first and then kill someone from your faction to win?
it's really weird
It gives you the ability to lie about your faction as wel
that's true
It’s just Fanzazz rlly tho which is an unreleased botc demon
True
oh, funny you say that bc the icon is from an unused btos 1 role called golem which was a protective NB lul
LMAO
Well this was V1 of the icon, it literally had a V2 and a variation of V2
And then it got scrapped LOL
these were the others for the golem
it had to protect... I think one or two players? And then it would turn into Zeolite and it had to like, basically starspawn isolate visitors I forget
the first icon could probably work as its night ability icon
instead of blocking the laser beam, it's firing it
Tbh I would prob make new icons if it were ever added
Idk why I don’t rlly like reusing them for BTOS 2 xddd
i really like the role icon you posted, but i can see how it can look kinda outdated
now is when nuggy says he actually made it just recently and i have to hide myself forever out of shame
I MADE THAT TODAY HOW DARE joke it is in fact over a year old
idk what colors to use for the role screen mockup 
this would be hilarious
tryna keep track of whos who so you can take the most advantageous win con
and then accidentally be a part of the triple kill that happened on that faction that night and lose the game
honestly i dannooooo sounds kinda low key like an issue of skill to meeeeee
I like how this role has 41 upvotes
I dont even fucking know how
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
In this case the stupid prize is 41 upvotes and I am both shocked but also happy
Either way tho, I'd be shocked if this got added because being fr I think it might be one of those things that sounds easy on paper but is hell to code in reality
well if wincons can be changed easy-ish (vampire does it just fine) then maybe you could get away with it?
no dont
"You have decided to Smash (9)TubaAntics tonight." doesn't fit very well
Ayo 😳
yeah but thats the comedy
Anyway I think golem is alright? Seems a bit overhyped
I don't really wanna focus on many more conversion roles to be honest, especially with Enigma coming soon
i dont like shifting wincons
It has art = cool [real]
i hate conversion in general
what
crazy
SCREENSHOT
LEAK
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHAT'S ENIGMA?!
Poijanimer real
I can't believe we got a name drop in the golem thread
i think this art existed for the TOS1 golem role
it was gonna be a surv replacement then we realised we didnt like surv anyway
Yeah nuggy said its the tos1 golem art
This role is an excuse to put Fanzazz the botc demon into tos2, however, which is a far nobler purpose
dies
Yyyyyeah fair LMFAO
I literally put it with the expectation that every single time someone played this role they would audibly go GOLEM SMASH RAAAH but due to technical issues you can’t force someone to say that irl
hehe
I can't believe we've made it to smash or pass was irl people
golem should stone players at night i think this is a unique keyword
It does
you didn't make the joke i was hoping for :(
Change the attack to Rail sound much less explicit definitely 100%
i agree
I do genuinely wanna ask if there is other SDGs than just tos you have played
I know tos for sure gives a terrible taste of what it’s like
But after playing botc like, you can do conversion right
To Be Fair maybe Fanzazz is not the best example of conversion
Considering it's the evil VIP turning good
Well any role in midnight is not the best example because you have to be in the gremlin mindset to play it
Mfw I say “yeah botc is amazing, genuinely so well designed, I love Heretic especially”
But even shit like Fang Gu
Or politician
Goon
I definitely did not base Coven/Apocalypse Infiltrator on Mole
Jackal is bootleg Mole i just made actual mole
Molezepheles
jackal is the only good conversion imo
We have Mole at home
Mole at home: 
Fang Gu, Politican, Goon all work imo
I mean for you specifically fucker
They have a role which straight up makes someone evil and it works imo
There's bounty hunter and kazali
I feel like you'd hate bounty hunter because info
I like BH
Hmmm
But it could technically work
True
what does mole do
Well Kazali would prob get compared to jackal again
Okay Mole isn't conversion
It's a town player pretending to be a Minion
Bounty hunter and kazali is what I said
Bounty Hunter gets the best info in the game
But as a cost
It makes a Townsfolk start converted
No mole straight up is almost entirely an evil player, the only difference is they win with good
And also if the demon guesses them good loses instantly
thats interesting
thats just the amongus mod tho
Bounty Hunter learns a player D1. When that player dies, it learns another and so on and so forth
The trade off is a player starts evil yayaya
thats uhhh. a bit op
So the thing about botc roles
Is you can build scripts around them to make literally all of them work
Basically yeah
vamps dont seem to work in any list
That’s role design
so i doubt conversion can work at all
Clocktower doesn't have a true vampire role anyway so shrug
Yeah
Vamps are awful
That’s why
They are a terrible taste of conversion
Mezepheles is a conversion role, it’s a minion
unfortunately every taste of conversion i get is terrible
It starts knowing a phrase and the first player to say it turns evil
Mezepheles you have to be willing to be converted
vampires, black wolf, yadda yadda
Mezepheles you can trick them in some cases
Usually you can't
It depends if ST makes the word like unbecomingst or not LUL
I did accidentally trick someone into saying it once
...as Investigator
Not my proudest moment
Does the ST make the word:
Cya
or
Bingazoingus
good work nunny
Fang Gu moment
I think as intended yeah its fineeeeeee
Pit-Hag coming in and yeeting the dynamic is goofy
Because conversion occurs right when the game starts.
Also with vamps
- any progress you made before is now actively working against you
- you can get converted as vamps are already losing.
- the roles are boring as fuck to play
- if you get converted as a strong role you now have a terrible thing to have to claim
In clocktower if you get converted
You either got converted by bohu or mez so you're literally a town Traitor
You converted yourself
Or you got converted by Fang Gu and that means you have a perfect fake claim
Botc on the other hand
- is entirely designed so the game can change tides at any point.
- all the roles are still fun to play, and because the game is already ripe with deception there is a lot you can do
- every role is claimable
If a fang Gu jumps to you, well, you are now the demon so progress you made to dismantle the evil team actually gives you credibility
Unlike vamps where killing teammates pushes you away from majority
hmmm
someone once told me the cult acts like botc demon guys
Sorta
If the acolyte was the demon
Evil in clocktower is (usually) a demon and 1-3 Minions
yeah so... what if i tried to make a converting type
The thing is with tos
but i cant because id need 3 other roles to equal the scales
Majority being a thing makes good conversion difficult
the apoc goal isnt majority tho
its to transform the acolyte and keep them alive
In that case it very well could work
once the horseman erupts the underlings are basically deadweights
In botc the demon will often sacrifice their minions to lee themselves alive
lmfao i definitely did make the botc evils
Since demo surviving is really all that matters, with a few exceptions of minions who work as backup if the demon dies
WAIT THAT MEANS I CAN MAKE A BOTC LIST FOR WORST
Lmao

A few backups
Or the Mastermind who will just murder their demon and fucking win for it

id need a modifier to disable acolyte voting
But then mastermind is on a script wit no other killers 
Listen it worked with au'wre
AK?
Quite well
Lmfaooooo
Okay for context
Mastermind keeps the game going for 1 more day after the Demon is executed
If they manage to get a good player executed on that extra day, evil wins
Possibly, Mastermind is a minion that makes it so when the demon dies, instead of the game ending they play for another day, and whoever is executed has their team lose
Provlem is if it’s obvious the demon is dead bc of no kills, they just don’t execute
Yeah the Mastermind gets thwarted if no execution
ah
In its home script BMR that isn’t a problem, because the entire script is around dying and protecting so there’s a million other reasons things went that way
ninja can kill very easily
This is why it is on Bad Moon Rising, a script where both sides can cause death independent of the Demon
no night kills tho
wait the acolyte doesnt kill anyways
its the minions/underlings who kill
Can work then xp
Oh so the Mastermind would just kill lmao
💀
whats psychopath
Fucker when seeing roshambo be used as an actually decent game mechanic
Mastermind is clearly Apocalypse Chaos
Each day publically kill someone
if town tries to lynch you, they have to beat you at rock paper scissors or you live
what the fuck
LMFAO
It works surprisingly well
how
Remember town doesn't need to kill the Psychopath to win
The Psychopath is giving away a lot of info to do this
Because if town knows you’re a minion
did they actually get pirate to work
Demon can’t sacrifice you
Yes
Yuh LOL
Psychopath
what the fuck
my words exactly
Well it ain’t pirate but it’s a rock paper scissors role in an SDG that works
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
pirate is rps
yea
Unless you count alchemist
See every time someone says “why did tos think that Rock paper scissors would work in an SDG” I just go 
Which can legit just be a town psychopath
Alchemist can be town vizier
Uhhhh
Only a handful
Quintessential example is Fortune Teller
Majority can’t find demon tho
ah
only ti that cant find acolyte(unless its bers) is sheriff
and sheriff can break detection immunity
Clockmaker can find demon because it learns how far the demon is from their closest minion
There is a sheriff like role in botc
Called Village idiot
And it is the only non unique townie in the game as of rn
I think
interesting
One of the village idiots is always drunk, unless there is only one
but anyways majority of my tis cant find acolyte directly
Yes
Excellent info, but the idiots gotta figure out who's the dumbass
Evils are encouraged to claim VI
and my deception is quite uber buffed
That’s good
and theres a crap ton of deception roles as well
The thing is tos needs more internal deception from town as well
But power creep
If a role has negative utility people will hate it
ive never enjoyed self sabotage roles
Not even that
In botc
Fortune Teller for example has their own misinformation built in
They get a false positive on an unknown good player
They have one red herring who falsely shows as the demon yeah
Uhhh
There's flowergirl
alright time to cook up a list
Who can't control who she checks
yalls got a good beginner type list?
(Its based on who votes)
with a variety of demons?
Wait what are you doing ?
that i can translate?
Is this for tos or botc
making a worst tos2 botc list
hm
But every other list starts to get chaotic as fuck
im banning zerker so therell be 3 demons
If you don’t understand botc they will get mistranslated badly
ah
There are some simpler experimental Demons I suppose?
Actually no Ojo will not translate
(Ojo kills by choosing roles to die)
Ojo is literaly tos Oracle that kills instead of protecting
plaguebearer baker and soul collector will be the demons im having
isnt that just rit but carpet bomb?
In tos yeah
In botc most town roles being unique means it's more a sniper
Also how does Ojo interact with village idiot actually
It kills 1 of the ST's choice
Also if the Ojo guesses wrong there's no punishment
They just don't control who dies in that case
ST decides yeah
Imp could translate actually
so jailor, marshal, bers, vigi will be banned
I love imp tbh
im using blood of salem as reference btw
tpow will be either mayor or mon since pros is pariah now
For context
Imp can kill itself to turn one of its Minions into a new Imp
It's simple but effective
Imp is the only demon in trouble brewing
I love the demons that make it uncertain if night deaths are good or not
ESPECIALLY vigormortis
I loooove vigormortis
Blood of Salem

Secret Killers

Okay rq tf is among us trial
basically amonguses system of votes
where you vote for someone
when day ends
the guy with most votes dies
You could use ballot voting for that
oh yeah
Maybe slightly different but it amounts to the same thing
should i ban scammer?
Uh
Oh plurality voting
Ghuh
bro keeps using his reworks for lists (4 ra reallll)
this is for worst
tf is "town miscellaneous" btw
common town
TS I assume
its not
i literally said what it was
does nobody read?
whatever their name is didnt even realise i was talking about making a botc for worst
and assumed i was talking bout btos
No thats too difficult
when the conversation was about how the cult was just like botcs evil
where the goal is to keep the acolyte/demon alive
Terrible role frfr
wait a sec
LMFAO I CANT EVEN HAVE APOCALYPSE KILLING IN BLOOD OF SALEM
BERSERKERS BANNED
IF AN ACOLYTE IS BANNED ITS UNDERLINGS ARE ALSO BANNED
TS is really just like a Town Misc. where they can drop things that dont fit in other alignments
ts isnt town misc anymore
Are you saying this because of oracle lol
Oracle was a good idea which was why it was added, do not get salty when Nuggy has good ideas
Nuggy never asked us for it to be added, it was posted in suggestions and I was like "this is peak ngl chat"
W Curt pop off
we are super besties i just don't like this role 😭
maybe it's good on BOTC, but i can't help but see this one as a bad role in town of salem
i am not fanzazz
Yes you are
if you are really plague doctor you wouldn't have claimed plague doctor
By definition, as the demon
...isn't the Fanzazz the antichrist
Gotcha
(Yes I know that's not what the antichrist is)
if you really are plague doctor, the real demon will kill you and a minion ability will come into play
why would you do this to us fucker 😭
It would be so cool if the gradient was Dark orange to Amethyst
this one fine asf why is it still not considered
cause you bumped it lmao /j
i didn't allow them to put it into the game
This is really cute, actually
Why did I think the golem icon was his body as a minecraft block
I just realized it was his hand lmaooo
Hey yall im on my phone rn so i dont have the option to scroll up can someone reply to it so i can get up fast
_ _
Thank you!
Yep
Fun Fact: this is what I based my Slime role off of. The idea of changing wincons is fun because its so amne core lol
Yeah
Smh look at pins
WHY IS THIS ALIVE LOOL
WAH
Oh yeah I love wincon changing roles LOL
I love Blood on the Clocktower
Also did you seriously do custom role art for this
The dedication is real
I don't
But since this is NS
I don't really care
my problem with roles that have wincon changes is the fact that taking action perjudicates them at winning
I kinda like slime a bit more since they can store a extra wincon in their back pocket if need be, but still cool.
LUL the art was actually for an unreleased BTOS 1 role believe it or not
It just fit the theme of this
Upvoted because I love alignment fuckery

Fair - I don’t think I’ve read that one tbf
Or maybe I did and I forg
Let me get it for ya rq
Pls add one of these ideas Btos2 devs, like I said, Alignment changing is cool and if that's not your cup of tea, it's a NS anyway
respect even though this color would only be there for like 5 seconds
I thought this was new who tf bumped this
Bro this is like 7-8 months old why did this get revived 💀
Still good role tho so whoever did this they atleast revived smth good.
No clue
Fricking Necromancers man
(found the necromancer)
