and then NK will just be arsonidt

#

LOL

graceful stratus
#

It will be even funnier if I am evil because I keep evil wills on default LOL

noble vector
#

To be fully honest I think that’s a valid counter strategy if you want to do it but it will take a lot of effort

#

I don’t think it will be meta for that reason

#

But I think that’s a valid strategy low key

pliant bloom
#

then SK will just ignore you

whole grove
#

-# It can easily be fixed by adding the copyying messages feature from TOS1 so you can just copy the will whenever it is posted

pliant bloom
#

waste of time copying a will of someone whose going to such extremes to counter 1 role that spawns in modes where it has the lowest wr in the game

noble vector
#

You can whisper someone “if my will has this word in it then I am fake”

#

That would be a way easier wa to do it

lusty oyster
#

LOL

lone yokeBOT
#

@lusty oyster has leveled up! (85 ➜ 86)

whole grove
#

oh god

noble vector
#

You’d have to hide it in the Will without the SK realising tho

#

Idk this seems like fun counterplay to me personally

whole grove
noble vector
lusty oyster
#

me taking on years and millions of debt so when the SK disguises as me they will be financially fucked

noble vector
#

This is why it’s valid counterplay to me

lusty oyster
noble vector
#

It’s a social counterplay

pliant bloom
#

I mean the thing is though as SK

noble vector
#

Me visiting every arsonist in town rq

whole grove
#

The SK doesn't have all information of the person they copy, which is where you can catch them

pliant bloom
#

if you're disguising it should be someone you know a lot about

lusty oyster
#

ask the sk if they are a homosexual, if they answer with anything other than "yes i am a catboy" hang them

noble vector
#

Mhm exaxtly

pliant bloom
#

I whisper a lot so I'd probably just figure out a bunch of shit on one person and then disguise as them

lusty oyster
#

i mean

pliant bloom
#

also this just made me remember

lusty oyster
#

we can avoid

#

like

#

codes

lusty oyster
#

by just giving SK

#

whisper logs

whole grove
#

true

noble vector
#

I don’t think it’s an issue personally

lusty oyster
#

when they become the new person they get to see all the new's whisper but can't see their old whispers

whole grove
noble vector
#

I don’t think it’s necessary

#

That takes tons of effort to code

noble vector
#

Afaik

lusty oyster
#

ok so

pliant bloom
#

oh you can't see your old whispers

whole grove
#

Easier solution: SK gets whisper reading and shuts down whispers entirely

noble vector
pliant bloom
noble vector
#

Idk why we are coming up with solutions to this when it’s not a problem

whole grove
noble vector
#

If you have valid counterplay it’s not needed

#

Giving SK whisper reading could be a shrimple buff tho in that regard yes

#

If it needed it ever

lusty oyster
#

3 whispers 11 "amogus"
4 whispers 12 "FUCK YOU"
11 hops into 12
11 (12) can no longer see "amogus" form 3 but 11 (12) can now see the "FUCK YOU" form 4

whole grove
#

We could try it out in its current state and then fix any issues if they become very oppressive

pliant bloom
#

SK now has "I'm All Ears" from ghost face DBD

noble vector
#

SK learns whenever townies fast vault

#

And sees their aura

lusty oyster
#

oh my god i just thought of something stupid

pliant bloom
#

sk also runs lethal pursuer and noed

lusty oyster
noble vector
#

Lethal peruser my beloved

noble vector
pliant bloom
#

peruser

noble vector
#

Lethal purse

pliant bloom
#

Lethal Purse

noble vector
#

Lethal Percy

pliant bloom
#

Lethal Performance

noble vector
#

I can’t believe that serial killer now has the ability that when they basic attack the obsession, the obsession is given a terror radius and the serial killer is undetectable for 30 seconds

pliant bloom
#

technically this is true with this rework

#

since the sk is now the obsession

#

LOL

lusty oyster
noble vector
lusty oyster
#

imagine as wilding you find out it's an SK game
because 1 and 2 are fucking erping
and then suddenly 1 and 3 countinue the erp

#

😭

noble vector
#

Oh wonderful

lusty oyster
#

tell me

#

if you want that

#

deleted

#

@noble vector

noble vector
#

Uuuhhhh

graceful stratus
#

SK should read whispers like Wildling LOL

lusty oyster
#

no

#

NO

noble vector
#

I mean if someone has issue with it delete it but otherwise it’s fine loool

lusty oyster
#

give that to WW

#

lmao

#

poor guy needs a buff

noble vector
#

I think whisper reading would have synergy with this ability

#

Werewolf needs something else

lusty oyster
#

fair

graceful stratus
#

Make all NK read whispers real

lusty oyster
#

no

noble vector
#

Jackal: 😭

graceful stratus
whole grove
#

Every evil can now read whispers

noble vector
#

Whisper stonks drops to an all time low

winter escarp
#

I mean, just make your will hard to Imitate if it's THAT much of a concern

#

(Which it isn't, since you're countering fucking SK)

austere gulch
#

(Reading whispers is literally all it has going for it)

toxic wraith
noble vector
#

I think that was a joke

#

I dont think cat is legit suggesting that LUL

whole grove
#

The only real suggestion is SK reading whispers

noble vector
#

mhm

#

also I keep thinking your pfp is a llama idk how

toxic wraith
#

Anyways, what I actually came here to say was that I don't think anything around this idea should be implemented, because I guarantee you I could find a way to metagame it.

noble vector
#

I mean, go ahead

#

If there are issues it would be good to find them now

tight pier
#

I am gonna be honest I think you’re worried over nothing, especially if sk can see whispere

noble vector
#

Otherwise I see no reason to say no because of possibilities

#

Exactly yeah

toxic wraith
#

Is Disguise a Basic Attack, just like the regular attack?

noble vector
#

yes

pallid portal
#

do u think it should be Powerful

noble vector
#

That would let it take a monarch's place as well as dealing with other NKs

pallid portal
#

overthrow mon real

toxic wraith
#

Monarch is why I asked

#

lol

noble vector
#

I think maybe it should

woven schooner
noble vector
#

So Monarch isn't immune to it

pallid portal
#

upon failure

cold plover
tight pier
#

Hmmm
Right yeah its worse than poss jump since poss ignored healing
But healing mech is different in this game

cold plover
noble vector
tight pier
#

Powerful i dont think is a huge buff

woven schooner
#

Maybe Disguise should just silently fail if your target was healed , but otherwise bypass any form of defense?

noble vector
#

No me either

#

One time powerful

woven schooner
#

So you don't fuck over TP's, but you can bypass monarch defense

pallid portal
#

it doesnt rly fuck over tps

#

cleric gives powerful defense

#

it still saves

#

it just makes monarch not immune to it

delicate saddle
#

i think disguise should work this way:

  • upon using disguise, you gain invincible defense and rb immunity, and you get 40 million dollars in real life
woven schooner
toxic wraith
#

I figured out a way to metagame this, I think

tight pier
#

Basically yeah
Man tol poss ain’t lookin so hot now

#

Which makes sense i guess
I think possessor had a 15% winrate

toxic wraith
#

A person who gets stolen will die on their screen, correct?

tight pier
#

Lmao

noble vector
#

and take their place

toxic wraith
#

So if that person disconnects, but you as the SK are in their body, what happens?

kindred leaf
noble vector
toxic wraith
#

You can

noble vector
#

also tactical leaving is bannable

woven schooner
noble vector
#

under foul play

toxic wraith
pallid portal
#

their corpse show as your old name

#

so its gonna show as they dcd

#

the names are permanently swapped

noble vector
#

ah right so if they leave, your old body shows as DCd?

woven schooner
#

Transporter for names real

pallid portal
#

when does it leave tho

pallid portal
#

i dont understand the logic

toxic wraith
#

So, we can metagame this. Any person who gets killed by SK, "leave if you got skinstolen"

#

Same with metagaming Jinx ig

noble vector
#

And it doesn't work as tuba just said

pallid portal
#

its gonna show as sk's old name dced

woven schooner
#

Disguising as someone because they are confirmed : Bad, Unoriginal, Metaslave play
Disguising as someone because they have a funny name : Smart, Original, Probably a throw

pallid portal
#

it would not work

#

as if someone died to sk and dced

noble vector
#

Tactical Leaving is foul play and suspendable

#

And it doesn't work in this instance anyway

tight pier
#

You could also just fix this by not showing if dead players leave at all but also yeah thats tactical leaving

tight pier
#

ToL did a lot to make poss work (can you believe it originally got implemented with a role that can read dead chat?)

cold plover
#

idk

woven schooner
#

wait

cold plover
#

I dislike powerful attacks bc it makes shroud worse

woven schooner
#

let's readd medium to nerf sk

noble vector
#

Medium I do not miss at all

tight pier
noble horizon
#

shroud needs to focus coven

woven schooner
noble vector
woven schooner
#

I miss transporter

noble horizon
#

shroud can evade detection a lot

woven schooner
#

Shroud can evade taxes a lot

tight pier
#

Don’t worry
POSS HAD INFINITE JUMPS (:

noble vector
toxic wraith
#

I think the only buff Shroud needs is to make Shrouded players appear as Shroud to ALL revealers and not just Murder.

noble horizon
#

I love evading taxes

woven schooner
#

why are we talking about shroud

#

this is a SK thread

cold plover
woven schooner
#

we believe in SK supremacy here

toxic wraith
#

don't know, but I figured i'd throw in my 2 cents

teal peak
#

cool

pallid portal
#

medium is good concept but ppl leaving ruined the whole role

tight pier
noble vector
#

Medium was a bad concept imo

#

It hard countered 4 roles and only really confirmed each other

woven schooner
toxic wraith
#

Medium hard-counters so many roles though

noble vector
#

Otherwise it didn't do much

#

It was just a hard counter role

pallid portal
#

that too ig

tight pier
#

Anyway uh

pallid portal
#

transporter caused a lot of confusion

woven schooner
noble vector
toxic wraith
#

Forger

#

lol

woven schooner
noble vector
#

did u forgor about forger

pallid portal
#

Froger

tight pier
#

Genuinely I think shroud with the tol possessor’s normal attack (force someone to secretly attack a player of your choosing) would make the role infinitely more interesting

woven schooner
#

I forgot about forger not being Enchanter ngl

#

Miss direction my beloved

tight pier
noble vector
#

I forgot about ambusher not being jinx LOL

tight pier
cold plover
#

giving shroud a true control but it not giving you their role

toxic wraith
#

The concept of Shrouding is to make another person kill for you.

#

The issue is: it only affects 3 roles in the game.

woven schooner
noble vector
#

Anyway aside from that Medium was basically a glorified version of the ability to see a dead player's feedback that current spy has
and current spy already gets 0 value from that

pallid portal
#

The thing is Transporter would have to be UO immune

woven schooner
#

the amount of time I was able to gather the seer's last results

tight pier
#

Yeah so just-
Actually why don’t I just propose it in a separate thread this is sk thread

cold plover
toxic wraith
#

Trickster is alr Trans if it was useful

tight pier
#

Transporter is

#

Well

noble vector
pallid portal
#

Original trickster was transport self but kills

woven schooner
noble vector
#

What I heard anyway

tight pier
#

Transporter is either god or negative utility

woven schooner
tight pier
#

No

#

Witch is just UO immune

pallid portal
#

That is correct

tight pier
#

Really

woven schooner
#

Told ya

tight pier
#

Wack

noble vector
#

So witch gets blocked by UO as well

tight pier
#

ToS priority makes no sense to me 💀

pallid portal
#

in vanilla Curt coded socialite so it might be different

woven schooner
#

I know because I thought admirer was useful once but no it was just me being withc immune

noble vector
#

That makes sense to me

woven schooner
noble vector
#

Witch is strong it doesn't need to beat UO

toxic wraith
#

It only says RB Immune on the card, also is the message just the "Unwavering Resolve" one?

pallid portal
#

I think so

cold plover
woven schooner
#

I thought admirer was useful

toxic wraith
#

?

woven schooner
#

but it was just crus being built different and ignoring witch

pallid portal
#

astral roles dont get UO from crus

noble vector
# cold plover

Those were my eggs I was boiling and curt sent them in modmail LOL

pallid portal
#

astral visits *

cold plover
#

boiled now

#

i once made a psy bypass crus

noble vector
#

Hard boiled !

winter escarp
#

Jailed players should get witched real

woven schooner
#

Jailed players should die

winter escarp
#

yeah Jail should be like a prosecute

#

just kills whoever's jailed instantly

woven schooner
#

Jailor should steal 10% of the defence of anyone they jail and force them to defeat them in a 1v1

toxic wraith
#

What is even the point of the "state your cases" phase of the prosecution?

pallid portal
#

ask bmg

toxic wraith
#

We won't get a response.

winter escarp
woven schooner
toxic wraith
#

Could also be done in the normal "last words" phase though

woven schooner
#

Your honor, league of legends

#

"Urine."

woven schooner
#

Jarate real

toxic wraith
#

Oy, are we still trying to make NKs unique?

woven schooner
#

w<hat

#

Wrong thread, this is the urine rework thread

pallid portal
#

Curt said yeah but I dont think its super necessary rn

#

Considering I'm doing most BTOS2 balance stuff

#

I know Curt is working on other stuff rn

cold plover
noble vector
#

Tuba ooooo u are being hypnotised ooooooo u want to make NKs unique ooooooo

pallid portal
#

its an all any issue

icy jewel
#

make NKs unique

noble vector
#

its a

icy jewel
pallid portal
#

yeah only one nk in most set lists

woven schooner
#

I mean AA isn't meant to be balanced

pallid portal
#

exactly

woven schooner
#

so it's not really useful to force NK to be unique

winter escarp
#

AA should be a Ranked rolelist in disguise fr

noble horizon
#

I will run TAA in my ranked games

#

trust

winter escarp
#

imagine having an April game and the rolelist is Ranked with Secret Killers

noble vector
#

this is Casual Mode Deception

cold plover
winter escarp
#

CurtisMan is the equivalent of the trollface of this server to me

tight pier
toxic wraith
#

So I'm too lazy to bother making a post, so here.
Shroud: Choose 2 targets. Force the first to deal a Basic Attack to the second. You will visit your first target. Your first target will still perform their normal ability for the night on their chosen target, and will receive no notification of being Shrouded. However, they will appear as having visited your second target to all visit trackers, as well as acting like a harmful visit and appearing like a Shroud to all role revealers for the night, except Neutral Pariahs.
Coroners will see your second target as having been killed by the Shroud, and will always see your first target as the Shroud, even on future nights.

#

Just make that the Shroud ability.

clever halo
#

I think it should be basic

patent rapids
#

LEV???

scarlet cipher
#

Change the attack to attack to powerful then it's fine

twin nest
#

I prefer the SK rework idea that makes it more like old CL instead this bc shroud is so insanely pathetic atm

scarlet cipher
#

Same

#

The original propose sk rework is more interesting

calm radish
#

Lore balance D:

fathom horizon
#

where

pliant bloom
#

and in most modes here where SK can spawn doesn't do much of anything

austere gulch
#

People need to remember why the old CL design sucked

#

It was only useful at countering neutrals

#

That's it

#

It does nothing to combat town outside of making one role in particular die to it

#

(Well technically two but if you're killing a Vet by that point you've already lost)

alpine patio
austere gulch
#

Exactly

#

It might as well just be

#

"SK gets detection immunity"

noble vector
#

Shroud is fine as well atm

#

It's certainly not pathetic

austere gulch
#

Shroud is bad

#

But its the best of the bad

#

The other NK are worse

noble vector
#

Well

alpine patio
#

I think arsos better tbh

noble vector
#

Arso is arguably better yeah

austere gulch
noble vector
#

It suffers in tos 2 but

austere gulch
#

Shroud is more consistent

#

And has a higher winrate

alpine patio
#

people just sit on their ignites too long imo

noble vector
#

Shroud and Arso are the top

SK and WW are the bottom

alpine patio
#

once you get 3 douses just go for it in most lists

noble vector
#

I think Shroud's winrates is a legit tell of their strength, because they do well across a few modes

#

Consistency seems to be a big factor in NKs

#

Whereas WW and SK who are difficult to control and can kill their own team accidentally, they suffer

alpine patio
#

well if it was sk wouldnt be the literal bottom of the barrel though

#

I dont think its THAT inconsistent

noble vector
#

I meaaaannn

#

It has a horrific winrate

alpine patio
#

okay I thought you meant consistent gameplay wise

noble vector
alpine patio
#

it consistently kills is what I meant

noble vector
#

You cannot control bloodlust

#

it activates on its own and is very easy to lose

#

plus rampaging is kinda inconsistent by nature

#

so I think it is very inconsistent

alpine patio
#

eh

#

youre solo anyways

noble vector
#

I'm sure part of SK and WW having a lower winrate is them killing each other tho

alpine patio
#

nps wont die to bloodlust

noble vector
#

You will lose bloodlust if you hit them though

#

And now you're just a godfather

#

for the next two nights which, probably won't happen!

alpine patio
#

personally I just think sk is too loud with nothing else to compensate for it

noble vector
#

Games are too fast to get Bloodlust back if you lose it

#

yeah

austere gulch
noble vector
#

Coroner's winrate is 100% an anomaly LUL

alpine patio
#

prosecutor being that high is crazy

noble vector
#

I think it's a bit of an anomalous result as well

#

But stats are interesting

#

not something to treat as gospel of course, there are always different explainations as to why stats might be how they are which isn't "oh this role is just this consistently good/bad!"

#

But they are a good way to challenge stances you might be too heavily leaning into as well

mellow wadi
noble vector
#

Of course, luck is always a factor

#

especially in all any

#

but TAA also had the biggest sample size at the time of these stats being released

alpine patio
#

what was the sample size for taa

noble vector
#

Over 200 games I believe

#

It would be more nowadays

alpine patio
#

okay thats def nowhere near enough

noble vector
#

Would be interested in seeing stats redone

pallid portal
#

I'll re gather these stats soon

#

I just want some time to pass

noble vector
#

Yeahhh

pallid portal
#

How long has it been since that stream ?

noble vector
#

Get some proper solid stats

#

Uhh one sec

#

Almost a month

#

I posted about them on the 14th of July which is when the stream happened I believe

pallid portal
#

So it is a month next week

#

basically

noble vector
#

Yeah!

#

Maybe it would be good to look into getting them done next week?

#

Who knows

pallid portal
#

Maybe

noble vector
#

Food for thought

pallid portal
#

We'll see

Kazali suuuuck

pliant bloom

nunny

#

you remember when you got marionettes by uyik

#

and I was perma drunk for the rest of the game

#

LOL

noble vector
#

That was such a fun time LMFAO

#

I was legit thinking of the exact same game LOL

pliant bloom
#

me and spod were so confused why nobody I picked was cera mad

noble vector
#

That game was so confusing for everyone

pliant bloom
#

oh my god that poor log dude

noble vector
#

And also the fact the politician perfectly filled for the missing cera madness

#

So I wouldn’t realise my ability actually worked LOL

pliant bloom
#

it was noite

noble vector
#

Yeaa

pliant bloom
#

he played so perfectly dude

noble vector
#

Fr LUL

noble vector
pliant bloom
#

cause dude the fact he made someone mechanically ask if there could be another savant

noble vector
#

FR LOL

#

Also like the person who sussed out uyik was demon since D2 but nobody listened to them somehow LOL

#

I don’t remember who that was tho

pliant bloom
#

the guy randomly just said it for no reason iirc

#

and he just kept pushing on it

noble vector
#

He metagamed it

#

I remember

#

Because STs kept going into calls with uyik LOL

#

But he never said that in game

#

Which is prob a good thing

pliant bloom
#

clearly he was just the 3rd savant

noble vector
#

LOLLLL

pliant bloom
noble vector
#

Yeahhhhh

#

Which is good

pliant bloom
#

so he just said "he's the demon" and never explained why

#

mhm

noble vector
#

Yeaaaa

pliant bloom
#

actually look at dms

#

I'm about to send you the craziest grim ever

noble vector
#

Oh shoot okie!

grizzled knoll
#

its a super underrated demon 😔 everyone nowadays just wants yagga or LM

noble vector
#

Accidentally deletes all the outsiders moment

grizzled knoll
#

removing outsiders?

#

ah its probably because im biased towards outsiders in general

#

i love playing/bluffing as outsider

pliant bloom
#

or it adds all 5

grizzled knoll
#

wasn't me but ive seen +3 outsiders in 8p :3

#

that

#

game was horrid

#

but

#

as a spectator it was funny

grizzled knoll
#

so good was just a bunch of potatoes

alpine patio
#

data set is way too small for those stats to be taken to heart

graceful stratus

people see green name, they listen

#

even if they are evil

cobalt flume
#

I don't like this for Serial Killer

#

On a new role sure

winter escarp
#

You can't go "I don't like it" and nothing else

cobalt flume
#

First of all, yes the fuck I can

cobalt flume
winter escarp
#

THEMING LMAO

cobalt flume
#

Yes...?

#

I just don't like the concept that much currently

#

If it were buffed I could see it working as a role

#

But I prefer Serial Killer to be the dual-mode playstyle that was suggested previously

#

This is basically turning it into the default Basic Attack 1 KPN with a one-trick pony ability

#

Which is what I see a lot of NK ideas pitched as

#

I know Serial Killer is one of the 1 KPN Neutral Killings but... eugh

#

I just don't like how this is executed

#

I would rather see this on a different role with a much more interesting kill method

#

I am being picky but when have I never not been wezontseeit

clever halo
#

ANYTHING is better than bloodlust and people already shouted down the old SK rework (which was good by the way)

alpine patio
#

there was no reason to go aggressive with the old one

#

unless you were targeting an nk or something with defense

#

In which case its probably endgame and now you just lost basic defense against an nk/something with defense

cobalt flume
#

I'm not saying we don't need a Serial Killer rework

#

I just don't like this one for Serial Killer

cobalt flume
#

I just like the concept so much better, to me it has way more potential

alpine patio
#

honestly once this rework is added I dont see it going back

#

it's going to be something that isnt bad enough to be changed before a ton of other things for a while

#

tuba alr said he's adding it so

cobalt flume
#

Yeah and that disappoints me

#

The charged ability is interesting for sure

#

But the fact that it's the only thing that the role has going for it is just... meh

#

I don't really like it when roles rely on their one-shot ability in order to have a shot at winning

fathom horizon
#

yeah nks have no room for being one tricks

noble vector
noble vector
#

I only just got what your nickname is supposed to be lmfaoooo

pallid portal
#

In tos2 ppl are used to roles having a lot of abilities where the tos1 style where some roles only had one ability is forgotten really, like old tos1 sk had notihng special

dire pagoda
#

the nks only had the ability to perform somewhat in tos1 because the main evil faction wasn't stacked

#

they just had less ways to get screwed

#

but they still sucked

#

honestly I can still see this being weak

#

it leaves a good amount of room for skill expression, but you'd have to be pretty skilled already in order to make proper use of it I feel like

cold plover
dire pagoda
#

I guess sk is already pretty difficult on account of having absolutely no accomodations to sustain it

#

other than rb immunity I guess

#

every other nk gets a little something at least

noble vector
dire pagoda
#

I don't think that expecting roles to be powerful in a game where many roles are powerful is too much of a stretch

lusty oyster
#

SK was basic as fuck

#

SK then became OP as fuck

dire pagoda
#

roles can be simple for sure, and some probably should be

#

but tos2 is really built on power so far

#

every role does things

dire pagoda
lusty oyster
#

fuck you mean

it isn't?

lusty oyster
#

bloodlust is like the most aids mechanic lmao

dire pagoda
#

just don't run into the rampage

#

sk doesn't even get access to it a lot of the time because the condition isn't always reliable

lusty oyster
#

im not dealing with this shit, i just woke up
fuck around = block
I don't like to fuck around in #1197948822358331523 god damn it

lusty oyster
#

along with counter attack

#
  • SK being able to maintain bloodlust
#

makes it so fucking stupid

dire pagoda
#

sk still literally has nothing to keep it alive though

#

it's probably the most vulnerable nk just because all it can do is directly attack every night

cold plover
#

what's your point

dire pagoda
#

bloodlust literally does so little for it

#

all this talk about it being op is completely overblown

delicate saddle
#

SK is poopoo i think is 2nd worst NK beside WW

lusty oyster
#

the point is that

  1. shroud winning makes no sense dispite being the weakest so stop bringing it up
  2. SK having INF rampages if fueled is powerful as fuck
dire pagoda
#

if someone runs into its rampage every single night for some reason?

cold plover
#

sk is

lusty oyster
#

SK ISN'T WEAK???

dire pagoda
#

that's debatable

lusty oyster
#

IT HAS THE BEST POTENTIAL KPN

dire pagoda
#

I'd say ww is weaker

cold plover
dire pagoda
#

but sk is weak

lusty oyster
cold plover
#

well ww won the most in s2

lusty oyster
#

don't piss me off istfg

dire pagoda
#

it has the highest potential kpn but relies on an incredibly swingy and overall unreliable mechanic

cold plover
#

I'd say ww is stronger

delicate saddle
cold plover
#

it has some deception at least

dire pagoda
#

as well as on actually getting kills

lusty oyster
#

arso doesn't count

#

arso +1dkpn

#

(delayed)

dire pagoda
#

running around all over the place with direct basic attacks doesn't exactly lead to good things a lot of the time

cold plover
#

shroud is stronger, proved by win rates and its deception

dire pagoda
#

you've constantly gotta deal with all the stuff that can kill you while also having to worry about defense

cold plover
#

rampage is useless on sk

#

you need rampage n2 maximum

dire pagoda
#

rampage has some of the easiest counterplay in the game

#

thinking of dying to rampage? don't!

cold plover
#

sk gets it way too late for it to be useful

dire pagoda
#

you can't legally die to rampage if you don't give consent

cold plover
lusty oyster
#

secret killers

cold plover
lusty oyster
#

we need the ranked list back

cold plover
#

that doesn't have an NK

dire pagoda
#

sk's even forced to telegraph itself

#

see 2 or more sk kills in the span of 2 nights? sk has rampage the next night

#

you play accordingly

cold plover
#

ww has power

#

much of it

#

but only n2

#

sk is never powerful

dire pagoda
#

ww's problem is falling off HARD after n2

#

it relies on a very impactful hit or it just kinda sits there and waits to die

cold plover
#

the N2

dire pagoda
#

relying too much on swing

cold plover
#

not saying WW is good
but sk is worse

dire pagoda
#

sk doesn't rely so much on swing since as long as it's getting successful picks it can still at the very least maintain 1 kpn

cold plover
#

I still prefer WW

#

but w/e

#

they're both bad

#

@lusty oyster sk is probably the worst due to it having no deception at all

lusty oyster
#

it just doesn't make sense

cold plover
#

wym

lusty oyster
#

sk should be the best

cold plover
#

How

lusty oyster
#

but it's the worse

cold plover
#

it has no deception

#

and u expect it to be good

#

why

lusty oyster
#

the 50 different mechanics sk has lmao

cold plover
#

making it worse ww?

#

yeah

lusty oyster
#

how is it a worse WW, it can ramapge n2 n3 & n4... if lucky

cold plover
#

sure bud

dire pagoda
#

sk literally has nothing to go on other than kills, is the main thing

cold plover
#

(that's a fixed bug)

dire pagoda
#

even ww has means of passively visiting

lusty oyster
#

fym you mean "bug"

dire pagoda
#

even if that ability itself is pretty trash on an nk

lusty oyster
#

1 kill and 1 counter attack kill = 2 kills for the bloodlust meter

#

what bug?

cold plover
#

you can't power it up twice in 1 night iirc

lusty oyster
#

tf?

#

no i swear you could

dire pagoda
#

you can

cold plover
lusty oyster
#

idk i haven't played SK

#

in forever

cold plover
#

I thought that was fixed

dire pagoda
#

it's the same system that allows you to chain rampages if you get 2 kills every night

#

it just counts each individual kill

#

the bug was actually that you'd get counted for 2 kills if you stacked your attack and the counterattack on an rber

cold plover
#

oh shoot

#

nvm then

dire pagoda
#

so you only got 1 kill but it counted for 2

cold plover
#

misunderstanding

lusty oyster
#

oh that's weird

#

btw can i just say

cold plover
#

sk is still the worst nk in the game

lusty oyster
#

i don't like how sk works, this is so much more better
i fucking hate bloodlust

lusty oyster
cold plover
delicate saddle
lusty oyster
#

counter attac

lusty oyster
#

i still want this sk

#

this sk is must more better than bloodlust sk

#

give us skinner sk!!!!!!

scarlet cipher
clever halo
scarlet cipher
#

Yeah bloodlust was a flawed mechanic

clever halo
#

No need to worry about shroud since that ship has sailed. It is either SK gets this or nobody does, so let's make sure at least bloodlust gets destroyed

scarlet cipher
#

The idea isn't bad but it needs something else for it to do so it isn't a one trick pony

cold plover
#

shroud is alr good

scarlet cipher
#

Yes because let's say you swapped with someone, okay cool, hopefully you tricked town
Now what? You still got the standard nk problems to deal with: tp, ti, and tpow

scarlet cipher
#

That's a good question, something to deal with at least one of those problems

cold plover
#

shroud has tp
ww has nothing
arso has tp

pallid portal
#

possessor had 2 charges of jumping originally but this could be too confusing here

scarlet cipher
graceful stratus
#

Would keeping a second will in notes be metagaming or nah?

lusty oyster
#

No but you would be a bitch

cold plover
graceful stratus
#

I would be gamethrowing not to use an optimal strategy is the thing

lusty oyster
#

Honestly

scarlet cipher
lusty oyster
#

Give sk, when they jump, a button to switch between their will, the person they jumped will, and do the same for their notepad

pallid portal
graceful stratus
pallid portal
#

you guys are asking for powerful attack

cold plover
lusty oyster
pallid portal
#

which I can do it for the attack they would jump but only that

graceful stratus
#

I don’t think buffing NK is the answer

pallid portal
#

Otherwise Mon is immune to this for some reason

cold plover
kindred leaf
graceful stratus
#

and coven

kindred leaf
graceful stratus
#

Btos2 does a good job balancing anti neutral coven

#

already

cold plover
#

we need to fix dreamweaver, wildling and amne

#

that's the main issues

scarlet cipher
#

Tbh make amne tos 1 amne and make it ns
Not only is rarer but it's fun again

kindred leaf
#

AMNE PIRATE BABY WOOOOOOOOOOO

graceful stratus
#

This whole idea of being outted fake as NK is not a skill issue when a four coven team can push you into oblivion

kindred leaf
cold plover
graceful stratus
#

meh, amnesiac would turn the game too much

scarlet cipher
#

I don't think amne being town and good is really possible at all to do

cold plover
graceful stratus
#

It needs a complete rework

scarlet cipher
#

Really, I think amne should have never been made town at all

pallid portal
#

that one is too strong

graceful stratus
cold plover
pallid portal
#

it basically makes a 3rd tpow slot

cold plover
#

but I like the recall bit

pallid portal
#

that evils need to kill

cold plover
#

Yeah

pallid portal
#

i do not like it

cold plover
#

the recall ability is cool tho

pallid portal
#

recall is just a variation of ret

#

and would be difficult to code it in, youd become the role then become amne again

noble vector
#

I think amnesiac will always have crossover with ret to some extent, tbf

scarlet cipher
#

Tbh I think make amne tos 1 amne and slapping ns on it is the best way to go

cold plover
graceful stratus
#

No

pallid portal
#

i would prefer that as a new role

cold plover
#

(no clue how)

#

current amne exists in case a tpow dies n1

noble vector
pallid portal
#

that just banishes amne to taa

#

or april

graceful stratus
#

Imagine if amne could choose the role that would be too op

cold plover
#

I think amne should be its own role in some way though

lone yokeBOT

@cold plover has leveled up! (30 ➜ 31)

graceful stratus

pallid portal
graceful stratus
pallid portal
#

current amnes fine rn

#

i just feel weird

#

why it isnt ts

graceful stratus
#

Amnesiac would be cool if you could wait to random draw a role

cold plover
#

ts slot is ruined by admi

pallid portal
#

well

#

speaking is easy than finding a good idea

cold plover
#

btw if mon could gain back a charge using revoke why doesn't energise work

pallid portal
#

no one has came up with a good one i admit btos admirer is not good enough

cold plover
#

the original idea

pallid portal
noble vector
#

BTOS admirer still better than vanilla any day tho

pallid portal
#

and the ui can allow you to target 2 ppl same time max

#

some roles leading to target 3x or 4x

#

same time

#

with energize

noble vector
scarlet cipher
#

The only thing I could see that could be changed about amne that isn't a rework or an overhaul is giving them the choice to remember automatically or by their own choice

pallid portal
#

the mon change is proposed , not confirmed to make it

noble vector
#

It’s easy to apply human logic to code and say “if x is easy y should be too!” but usually it’s some fucked up other way of working that’s actually way harder

graceful stratus
#

I’m a little worried about mon rework because I don’t want to justify night 1 knights

pallid portal
#

so many proposed changes did not get in

#

some people treat it as if i said something its gonna %100 make it

noble vector
graceful stratus
#

Revoking knights would make tt so much more interesting

noble vector
#

Main reasoning for mon revoking nights is because knighting evils makes the game end way too fast

pallid portal
#

the opinions were mixed on the stream chat

#

some ppl like it some ppl hate it

noble vector
#

It’s another thing in the long chain of trying to not have tos 2 be way too fast

cold plover
#

I don't like it bc it makes mon too good

winter escarp
#

make everyone start with 2 votes and have the Monarch's job be removing them CurtisMan

graceful stratus
#

A good monarch would revoke for safety and an evil one would revoke for majority

cold plover
#

I like current mon

graceful stratus
#

mon is really boring atm

noble vector
#

Also tbf I don’t think anyone was coming at it with the same logic, people were looking at it as a “buff” compared to an overall game health thing

graceful stratus
#

and an easy mislynch

pallid portal
#

"no one likes it"

#

is not a feedback at all

#

i saw some ppl say that

#

but like that just discourages me from bringing up ideas

winter escarp
#

I personally like it :D

noble vector
#

Some people try anything to make their opinion seem like the correct one it’s annoying

pallid portal
#

no the thing is , its a valid point that it might encourage

#

n1 knighting

graceful stratus
winter escarp
pallid portal
#

it already is 1 charge

winter escarp
#

so people have to think about it a little more

#

oh

noble vector
#

It was proposed as one charge yeah

winter escarp
#

well, I don't think it's an issue personally

noble vector
#

Me neither

graceful stratus
#

Revoking is a valid strategy and could add to the game

noble vector
#

Also evils can still use it to their advantage

winter escarp
#

adding more depth to a role isn't bad

noble vector
#

Get a knight revoked from a legit player and waste mon’s revoke

#

And time

cold plover
#

I still dislike it

noble vector
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

It’s probably not getting in anyway

winter escarp
#

just make a poll. If it's not 75% positive, then don't add it IMO

graceful stratus
#

?

noble vector
#

Or a post

winter escarp
#

3-1 ratio of good to bad

graceful stratus
#

Why that specifically?

noble vector
#

So most people like it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

graceful stratus
#

That biases it towards not adding it

winter escarp
#

if it's like a 55% approval it doesn't feel as genuine

graceful stratus
#

no

winter escarp
noble vector
#

Opinions sounded mixed so that would be a smart course of action

winter escarp
#

I like it. If nearly half the people don't (but majority still likes it), that's still isolating nearly half the playerbase

#

maybe even 4-1 good to bad ratio

graceful stratus
#

I’m not emotionally attached to the mon rework or anything but I don’t think saying a vast majority liking it is necessary

noble vector
#

Prob a bit excessive

winter escarp
#

plus it isn't a big enough change to have people go batshit insane over

graceful stratus
#

Revoking knights is going to make mon in tt hunt much more interesting

winter escarp
#

"Monarch can revoke knights now. Game is ruined."

#

I don't think it's that crazy of a change to make

#

plus I've heard people talking about how it's a decent change.

#

that gives Monarch a little more flavor as a role.

fast raven
#

Also if monarch gets witched it allows them to revoke the knight if they don't trust the person who was knighted

winter escarp
#

ooh a new idea

graceful stratus
#

It’s just adding dismantle to monarch basically

fast raven
#

How would it work with cs though

graceful stratus
#

CS would keep revoke charges

#

probs

fast raven
#

I mean revoking knights

graceful stratus
#

It would, you know, revoke

winter escarp
# winter escarp ooh a new idea

maybe a pseudo-announcement where people who don't religiously check #1197948822358331523 could find proposed changes and vote on whether they're good or not.

#

@noble vector thoughts?

noble vector
fast raven
#

Idk

graceful stratus
#

technically yeah

#

Either way it wouldn’t impact too much

#

It’s so niche to design around a neutral special

#

aside from jackal

winter escarp
#

like, if one of the devs likes a change, they could add it to a #proposal-announcement as a "we think it's good and should be in the game. how about everyone else?" and have it from there, since there are many people who don't constantly check #1197948822358331523.

graceful stratus
#

Or just make an announcement to avoid clutter

#

lol

winter escarp
winter escarp
pallid portal
#

none of that is needed

#

lol

#

literally every modtalk is summarised

winter escarp
#

if there's an idea that you or Curtis likes from #1197948822358331523, whether it's your own or someone else's, posting it as a poll sounds interesting

#

whether in it's own channel or #announcements or #bettertos2-updates

#

not everyone checks #1197948822358331523 and not everyone watches your mod talks

#

or comments on them

pallid portal
#

i dont get the point

winter escarp
pliant bloom
#

if you are just basing a role off it's potential

#

then Arso PB SC (as NA) are way better than SK

#

shroud and ww are also better

winter escarp
#

there are many who like to say "I don't like this", whether they have a reason or otherwise. There are few who say "I like this" and explain why. That's why there's 44 likes and 7 dislikes, while 5 of the people who disliked explained why while only like 10 people who liked explained why

#

having a simple poll just as a simple guage of opinion in an area that people view more sounds useful

pliant bloom
#

I like this because tuba suggested it

winter escarp
#

lol

cold plover
#

I like this because possessor

delicate saddle
noble horizon
#

I feel like this can be metagamed a LOT easier than a lot of other roles, but I do like it

winter escarp
graceful stratus
#

Metagaming is frowned upon but physical evidence is hard to argue against

winter escarp
#

"I don't like it because of theming" sends 30 messages about it

graceful stratus
#

If an SK who jumped is being inconsistent it can be used against them

clever halo
delicate saddle
#

what if SK have an ability that lets him kill people

pallid portal
#

this role will not work in vc lobbies

pliant bloom
#

make him werewolves little brother for a little bit

pallid portal
#

im fully aware it

#

of it

#

like i know chilleds crew plays the mod every week

cold plover
#

act as conversion

pliant bloom
#

nah

#

people aren't gonna do that

pallid portal
#

ban sk

pliant bloom
#

salt and the thoughts of revenge generally make people just not wanna do that

pallid portal
#

fanggu style of jump would work in vc lobbies

pliant bloom
#

yea

#

makes them an SK as well

#

if you wanna code all of that and make the charges from one to another transfer that's up to you

pallid portal
#

that has the issue of current vampire

#

no one likes being converted

pliant bloom
#

I think the difference is being SK is fun

#

id much rather be an NK than be a vampire

shell sail
#

I have somewhat of an idea for SK that I’d like to garner feedback on as while I like the idea of “Body jumping” as others have said I think it fits better on another role but I do have an idea to make SK work nicer but idk this is still better than bloodlust by a mile lmao

winter escarp
#

bloodlust should be a day ability that acts similarily to Death

#

realest

graceful stratus
#

They just ban it later when it gets old

noble horizon
#

(I can quite easily tell sometimes who's who)

pliant bloom
#

and most people don't type fast

noble horizon
#

true

#

I will type fast to avoid getting jumped

graceful stratus
#

That can be easily replicated, and I doubt people will notice unless they are actively trying to call people out for jumping

#

Just talk fast or capitalize words to compensate

noble horizon
#

yeah

#

it's just something to adjust to I guess

graceful stratus
#

Jailor needs to do that too

noble horizon
#

true

#

also "hey 2 type a turkish key" can be done but might need to be flagged as foul play

#

LOL

graceful stratus
#

Ew

graceful stratus
#

Shun whoever does that

cold plover
#

(pretty sure they have c in turkey?)

pallid portal
#

that sounds like communication outside the game

pliant bloom
#

^

pallid portal
#

how are u supposed to know 2 is turkish

pliant bloom
#

that's kinda cheating

pallid portal
#

yea its against the rules regardless

cold plover
pliant bloom
#

in general speaking a diff language is cheating

graceful stratus
#

I’m still using the second will strat since it doesn’t break any rules

#

Tpows do this anyways

#

You need a second will to avoid attention in the early to midgame

pliant bloom
#

nah

pliant bloom
#

old SK rework did literal nothing for the role and was only liked at the time cause CL was problematic and didn't need it

vocal heron
#

Shroud is a ghost like creature, this rework fits it better.
Serial Killer is a blood thirsty killer.

pliant bloom
#

lore balancing yet again

vocal heron
#

the ability should still fit the damn role

pliant bloom
#

and a blood thirsty killer is not a serial killer im p certain

#

think that's just a mass murderer

vocal heron
#

thats like saying Marshal should be able to murder people at night

#

cuz who cares about lore balancing

pliant bloom
vocal heron
#

alr here's another example

#

night pros

pliant bloom
#

you're using arguments that make 0 sense to prove your point

vocal heron
#

SK stealing identities makes no sense, it fits Shroud better

pliant bloom
#

you're only saying it makes sense for shroud cause it's a ghost

#

but it doesn't need whatsoever

vocal heron
#

Shroud is the weakest NK

pliant bloom
#

please tell me what reason shroud needs to be able to hop bodies

pliant bloom
#

but sure

vocal heron
#

tell me a reason why Serial Killer should be able to swap bodies

pliant bloom
#

what

vocal heron
#

Shroud is the weakest NK

#

it needs a buff

#

heck even with multiple shrouds, they still lose because they cant kill other NKs

#

whereas every other NK can

pliant bloom
#

me when I balance around all ant

#

🔥

#

ranked shroud had a higher wr than sk

vocal heron
#

im mentioning All Any because I've only ever seen Shroud win in All Any

#

it always loses outside it

clever halo
pliant bloom
#

shroud STATISTICALLY is a better role than SK in the majority of gamemodes

that's legit proven by the statistical balance of all any by mist mag and true all any statistics
