a 12.5% wr vs a 33% wr is marginally different from one another

#

current sk sucks cause it has 0 control over what it does lol

pliant bloom
#

for all you know you're killing 3 out of the 5 townies left alive and now the 3 coven just lynch you

vocal heron
#

well All Any win stats dont really matter, win stats matter in actually balanced lists.

Shroud never wins.

#

Rolled Shroud? Very high chance you lose.

pliant bloom
#

what?

vocal heron
#

If Shroud can only win in All Any, thats a problem.

alpine patio
#

I wouldnt trust those stats tbh

pliant bloom
pliant bloom
alpine patio
#
  1. it's taa
pliant bloom
#

and I'm pretty sure I can just ask tuba for the amount of games shroud/SK/ww was rolled

alpine patio
#
  1. Nuggy said it was 200
#

which is not nearly enough

pliant bloom
vocal heron
#

meh

pliant bloom
#

200 is plenty enough what

vocal heron
#

completely against this rework for SK

alpine patio
#

no it isnt

#

200 games isnt large enough for accurate results

vocal heron
#

if this gets added, gives me more of a reason to not play BTOS2

pliant bloom
#

it's a general gauge

cold plover
pliant bloom
#

how about you go and record 500 games

#

and see that when the stats aren't that drastically different

alpine patio
pliant bloom
#

you can tell us

pliant bloom
cold plover
pliant bloom
#

and I'm pretty sure it will be nearly the exact same

cold plover
#

sk was the weakest

clever halo
#

Because your own toolkit actively works against you, yes.

alpine patio
#

okay lets be clear, Im not arguing that sk isnt weak/we shouldnt be reworking it

clever halo
#

Me when the one time I get a rampage hit off it just completely lopsides the game and Pandora sacrifice me

vocal heron
#

I actually remember being in a Shroud game.
The existence of the Shroud was known, but the Shroud never actually killed anyone.
They always hit defense.

clever halo
#

Welcome to AA, the mode sucks.

pliant bloom
vocal heron
#

it was a low evil match

kindred leaf
#

me when i get bloodlust but i only hit one person and now i'm back to being dogshit

vocal heron
#

most of it was town

pliant bloom
#

LOL

#

sk is actually only "good" when you're killing 2 people a night

vocal heron
pliant bloom
#

if that doesn't happen it is legit just such a terrible role

kindred leaf
#

me when i get countered by:

  • every other NK
  • every TP
  • potion master
  • redirection
pliant bloom
#

I'm pretty sure thats just statistically wrong but alright

cold plover
#

loonie I think you are the only person in this thread who likes bloodlust

vocal heron
#

im not saying I like bloodlust

#

its just better than this

kindred leaf
pliant bloom
pliant bloom
#

arso and shroud barely have this problem and ww at least has the benefit of always being a rampage

cold plover
#

shroud can just ignore all the TPs lol

kindred leaf
#

me when i play perfectly but i get fucked over by
checks notes
the video game

alpine patio
#

honestly I think shroud and arso just have that high of wrs cause they dont kill dupes

vocal heron
alpine patio
#

it would be closer if they did

cold plover
#

with what it has

vocal heron
#

it cant

#

it just bypasses Trapper and BG (kinda)

kindred leaf
#

if you shroud a cleric you still hit barrier

#

it might bypass crus? i'm unsure

austere gulch
#

You do bypass Crusader

cold plover
#

well you kill oracle
you kill bg/trapper
no clue what happens with crus? probably bypass
Cleric stops you

vocal heron
#

in vanilla, it doesnt
in btos2, i think it does?

cold plover
#

so 4/5 TP you ignore

austere gulch
#

Cleric is the only TP which stops Shroud

cold plover
#

a p good role!

kindred leaf
#

ah

pliant bloom
pliant bloom
kindred leaf
#

so it does get around most TPs

pliant bloom
#

bg kills themselves

#

trapper does as well

clever halo
alpine patio
pliant bloom
#

I think you bypass crus

kindred leaf
#

does invest find murder on shrouded players?

alpine patio
#

they literally know if another arso douses them

pliant bloom
#

and oracle being shrouded kills them

austere gulch
pliant bloom
austere gulch
#

And if you self Barrier

pliant bloom
#

they're performing the kill

austere gulch
#

You save yourself anyway

clever halo
kindred leaf
#

damn shroud actually fucks

austere gulch
#

Sure then

#

That's what we're talking about

pliant bloom
kindred leaf
#

this role is... good????

pliant bloom
#

but okay

vocal heron
#

Oracle nerf: They visit all players that they protect, but cant be seen by anything other than Shroud blue_fire

pliant bloom
#

shroud is a good role that suffers from the game state being too fast

kindred leaf
pliant bloom
#

same with arso

cold plover
austere gulch
#

And this statement is still accurate

alpine patio
pliant bloom
vocal heron
pliant bloom
#

because you have to clean yourself off

#

both of you can die in that time

alpine patio
#

which is better than a ww rampaging a ww or an sk rampaging an sk

vocal heron
kindred leaf
#

i've won an arsonist game where me and the other arso doused each other night 1 and started coordinating

pliant bloom
#

????

#

like what

pliant bloom
kindred leaf
#

i still vote for werewolf gaining live feed of their scent track targets so they know where to rampage

#

werewolf having tracker abilities does literally fucking nothing for the role

pliant bloom
#

would have to ask tuba

alpine patio
kindred leaf
#

SK doesn't typically kill dupes but there's no way of knowing it's another SK

pliant bloom
kindred leaf
#

???

pliant bloom
#

that is exactly what you're saying

vocal heron
pliant bloom
kindred leaf
#

i was genuienly disappointed

pliant bloom
#

I don't think responding "damn really" to anything doesn't sound sarcastic

#

then mb

alpine patio
pliant bloom
#

what part of that don't you understand

kindred leaf
#

arso is the only NK with the ability to find teammates

alpine patio
cold plover
#

ww can track

kindred leaf
pliant bloom
#

which just isn't true because they don't even spawn in bulk often

alpine patio
#

no

#

I said the wrs would be closer

pliant bloom
#

we can make all NK unique and they will be in the exact same spot

cold plover
pliant bloom
kindred leaf
alpine patio
pliant bloom
#

"the wrs would be closer"

alpine patio
#

yeah thats exactly what I said

pliant bloom
#

which means shroud and arso wr would go down

cold plover
pliant bloom
#

guess what that means

cold plover
#

lol

pliant bloom
#

the role is worse

alpine patio
pliant bloom
#

the closest the wrs can get without them being considered nearly the same is like 12.5% to 20%

#

and even then that's barely a difference

#

that's what maybe 5 more games won

alpine patio
#

ww and sk had a massive diff in wrs

#

lemme check

pliant bloom
#

they're both at 12.5%

alpine patio
#

okay yeah it was not as big as I thought

#

it was just 2%

austere gulch
#

ngl

kindred leaf
#

well yeah that's what my rework did

#

lmao

pliant bloom
#

the game would be better if all NK were on the power level of arso with utility equal to that of a coven

#

or if we just nerfed cov

kindred leaf
#

arsonist is a big nuke that can go undetected for an entire game
werewolf (with my rework) can prevent itself from being outed by destroying wills and follow targets to get massive rampages
shroud can fuck over most open claiming TPs and TIs by shrouding
sk

cobalt flume
#

Then don't get mad StupidBimbo

#

Serial Killer and Werewolf are both predictable when it comes to their rampage, the only difference is that Werewolf's rampage mode is more consistent whereas Serial Killer's KPN is more consistent

#

They're both pretty weak but Serial Killer isn't as weak as Werewolf for that reason

austere gulch
cobalt flume
#

I haven't seen their rework

alpine patio
cobalt flume
#

Oh

#

Uhm

alpine patio
#

actually wait

#

wrong person I think

cobalt flume
#

Oh

alpine patio
#

@kindred leaf what was your rework

#

I was thinking of someone else's rework

cobalt flume
#

I couldn't find it in the list

#

I found mine and then like 4 of someone else's allowmetostareintoyoursoul

kindred leaf
#

i only posted it in the CT server

#

hold on

Werewolf

Neutral Killing
⚔️Powerful attack
🛡️Basic defense

Attack (🌙♾️ Only on Full Moon nights): Deal a Powerful Rampaging attack to your target.

Scent Track (🌙♾️): Track your target, learning where they're planning to go in real time every night. Scent Track stays until your target dies.

Attributes:

  • On Full Moon nights, you may choose to target yourself, rampaging at home. Anyone who visits you will be dealt a Powerful attack and have their will destroyed.
#

if it's true that live tracking isn't possible, then this isn't applicable

cobalt flume
#

Yeah it's kind of average for me

#

It can potentially make Rampage more consistent

#

But I feel like there's gonna be a meta where people switch at the last second

#

I don't really think it makes the role much more consistent outside of that

kindred leaf
#

it also makes rampaging at home vaguely more desirable

#

since right now it just outs you as werewolf if you do

cobalt flume
#

I'm still not really a fan of it

#

I think it's interesting but that's it

kindred leaf
#

werewolf would need a full overhaul to work imo but i'm not really qualified to make that so

cobalt flume
#

I made one where it's more different

#

restive kite
#

why not powerful attack, i mean without rampage yeah, but what's the point of a neutral killing that just attacks like a basic coven

#

it's called neutral killing for a reason

pallid portal

powerful attack only when jumping

i think

You’ve just shut down every threat to your existence

#

Still a huge benefit

It slows Werewolf down pretty effectively

The only people reliably visiting are killers which doesn't do anything towards your kill output

Will be pretty obvious but

cobalt flume
clever halo
cobalt flume
#

Oop

#

Well

#

I can see why people want it on Shroud

#

Since Shroud currently is the more deceptive Neutral Killing

#

But Shroud genuinely doesn't need it

noble vector
#

Shroud doesn’t need any changes tbf

#

Maybe some buffs but nothing huge

#

Certainly does not need a rework imo

clever halo
# cobalt flume But Shroud genuinely doesn't need it

Shroud is better designed right now than Serial Killer, no question. Both sides definitely have some amount of merit to it, but at the end of the day, I've always been saying that it's a pointless discussion after the post named got changed. We are either rolling or not, and I'd rather roll. Bloodlust has to go immediately.

cobalt flume
#

If this gets added I genuinely don't care that much

#

But I don't think it's enough

clever halo
# cobalt flume But I don't think it's enough

I care. If it's not enough for SK, we'll see that and Tuba can make further changes, or even rework it again. It's always possible.

What matters is that the Disguise mechanic would mean bloodlust is gone FOREVER. Tuba would never willingly make the game worse, so I don't think he'd go back to bloodlust ever.

#

Gradual improvement is always better than people shouting down everything Tuba and Curt try to do. Some people will always attempt to do that, and they will simply need to be dragged, screaming, into a better game. I'm totally fine with that.

cobalt flume
#

That's like not what I said but sure

cunning nacelle
#

Me being afk in all of the discussions, waiting for someone to try and up me:

unkempt shadow
#

This reeks as NK CS.

#

My problem with this also is: What is the message for your “Death”? Is it “Killed by a Serial Killer”?

#

All kills have their associated kill messages like coven, NK, TK, and TP.

#

If the corpse was autopsied by a coroner who would have killed the corpse?

winter escarp
#

Probably SK

#

So it wouldn't be totally invisible

unkempt shadow
# winter escarp Probably SK

that’s pointless though and makes the rework useless. If they were coven, the coven would know “SK is PMER.”

winter escarp
#

IIRC someone pointed that out and there is a potential idea to prevent non-town from being disguised.

#

Also the SK dies to SK, not the player they're disguising as, so that's a moot point

unkempt shadow
#

This is Cursed Soul

winter escarp
#

What?

#

X is SK
X uses Disguise on Y
The graveyard has X dead to SK

That doesn't out Y as the new SK

unkempt shadow
#

I am 13, I disguise as 14, My will and my chat patterns match 13.

#

Wills are also an issue

winter escarp
#

You get their will

The rest you gotta socially deduce

fervent junco

welcome back disguiser

the good old days when people write x The (role) because of old disguiser

now its just force of habit for me

unkempt shadow

#

Disconnections are another concern.

If a dead disguise disconnects would cause problems.

#

This is going to be a development nightmare too.

#

Skins and pets would need to update on identity theft

pallid portal
#

the dead disguise will show as your old name....

unkempt shadow

it will say 15 has disconnected

because 15 is shown as dead in graveyard

#

as much as i like nk tools affecting coven i might have to disagree with sk stealing coven bodies

#

it basically just outs sk to cov(they know that their teammy got bodystolen)

pallid portal
#

can just like fail

#

if attacking coven or apoc

#

reverts to a regular attack

#

if thats too much of a problem

languid mauve
#

would the sk see the coven teamates? i assume not

pallid portal
#

no but coven would know

#

they were jumped into

#

bc that player would not join the night chat

languid mauve
#

if the sk and enchanter both kill someone

#

what forge would get priority

pallid portal
#

i think in that case sk wouldnt jump just regular attack

#

so enchanrter

languid mauve
#

does this button replace caution?

whole grove
pallid portal
#

if solo it can work

languid mauve
#

if u steal someones identity do you lose the blood u should have?

#

and tresspassing#

pallid portal
#

for that night you jump , TIs will get the result of your target

#

not you

#

however the next night you will show as murder

#

etc

languid mauve
#

i think being forced to use your 1 powerfull attack on a steal makes it harder for sk to deal with immunes. and also means that sk has simmilar killing power to shroud

pallid portal
#

all any problem really lol

languid mauve
#

if the necro were to use the sk corpse that was forged what would happen?

lone yokeBOT
#

@languid mauve has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)

fathom horizon
#

stabby

#

same with ret raising a forged townie

#

will use its actual ability if its also town and raisable

languid mauve
#

so it would use sk even tho sk aint dead?

#

maybe it should be corpse missing

#

makes sense as the sk "faked their death" so there would be no body to use

#

also does the sk choose how they die?

scarlet cipher
#

Lore of this rework: sk goes to college to learn how to draw realistic art
So after getting their degree in art they can make and use realistic masks that can fool everyone (similar to the spy from tf2) so when they fake their death they kill their target and put a mask on the corpse to look like them and then wear a mask to look like their victim, effectively switching places with them

kindred leaf
#

i mean i assumed the SK would just wear their target as a skin suit

alpine patio
#

realistically the sk would make a mold out of the victims face and then use makeup to disguise other inconsistencies

scarlet cipher
#

I like the mask & swap idea more

whole grove
#

skinwalking is slightly horrifying

scarlet cipher
#

True true

languid mauve
#

if 2 sks used it on eacother would both of them die or both get basic attacked

noble vector
languid mauve
#

but if a sk were to die while using the ability the disguise dosent work right?

noble vector
#

If the SK or their digsuise target dies, they do not disguise

#

if their disguise target dies to someone other than the SK of course

languid mauve
#

so if the disguise fails does the powerfull attack go out still?

noble vector
#

You don't lose your charge if disguise fails though

languid mauve
#

if so 2 sks hitting eachother would cause both of them to die denying their ability but then they wouldnt die ect

noble vector
#

Oh yeah that would be a paradox

#

They would have to still powerful attack then

languid mauve
#

alrighty just curious thanks for answering

noble vector
#

No problemo

Apocalypse are not immune.

Coming back to that shroud idea where u choose who is killed while shrouding

#

I dislike it now

#

It completely cripples shroud's ability to counter all TP

tight pier
#

Not really

#

Actually no it just objectively does not do this

cold plover
#

hear me out

#

shroud counters TP by shrouding them and learning who the tplo caller is and if they the TP is real

#

you take away this its weaker

whole grove
#

"You learn who the TPLO caller is"
The public TPLO call:

tight pier
#

Thats
No
That’s a losing interaction for the shroud

#

Lmao

fathom horizon
#

yeah knowing who tp is doesnt help shroud

#

since it has to waste its kill

cold plover
#

mmm

fathom horizon
#

and doesnt even get affected by them beyond that

#

you already know who tp want to go on

#

or at least get a good idea

tight pier
#

And “force target player to kill another” retains all of the BG/Trapper/Crusader interactions

#

So

whole grove
#

You don't know who the BG is protecting though so you can no longer just yeet yourself onto the BG/Trapper and make them suicide

tight pier
#

Yeah but that unironically doesn’t help you that much

#

Still 1 kill it just comes out funny

Plus now its much easier to throw E.G, a seer, into the BG and hit that

There is no need for a death related TI when the majority of information you can get from death is already given for free

My only suggestion for coroner is let them prepare people for autopsy and it stay on that person until they die and which the corpse is automatically autopsied when night comes meaning if 2 people die and 1 of them was prepared for an autopsy in advanced, both will be autopsy'd at the start of the night

Apparently it was to make LOs not confirm other LOs

oh

i thought it was so roles like Ambusher couldnt counter it

all rampaging roles

myeah true

#

Well wildling was never astral anyway right?

#

I guess it was at launch

austere gulch
#

It was never after the rework

austere gulch
#

Say

#

Is there any reason for this role to be roleblock immune

#

It has a new gimmick now
Why shaft Tavern Keeper even further

whole grove
#

Tuba said on stream that it was basically just a leftover

austere gulch
#

Smh

#

Give Tav and Pois some love

fathom horizon
#

sk needs all the help it can get

#

i think all neuts should have blanket disruption immunity

teal peak
#

that sort of means that Tav, like Sheriff, becomes absolutely useless the second the last coven is out, and gives coven no defense when on a Neutrals vs Coven battle.

loud nexus
#

I mean NKs already have Basic Defence

#

coven can't kill them without Conj/Rit

signal wagon
loud nexus
fathom horizon
#

also bro towns winning if all covens dead and its just nk

#

why do they need to bully them more

signal wagon
loud nexus
#

realistically it'd only really matter if either
it's 2 town vs the NK after all the coven are gone
last NK is Arso with everyone doused and tav can't rb them

noble vector
#

Like, it kinda cripples them

#

If we had secret killers though maybe not as much

#

Though, with nobody claiming protected the chances your Roleblock hit the NK is still high if there’s one less kill

#

Coven can actually back each other up in that regard

dire pagoda
#

yeah, there's a reason why nks tend to have accomodations for it

#

although they always seem to have that 1 nk that they just don't care about for some reason

#

in tos1 it was jugg and in tos2 it's shroud

noble vector
#

Jugg did care about it but nobody cared about Jugg

#

Shroud I don’t think it’s particularly been an issue for them it’s true

pliant bloom
#

the shroud change idea is pretty similar to what I suggested a while back anyways

#

also removing sk's killing rbers kinda just makes it a stale role cause arso and ww both have some sort of counter measure for being rbd

#

and shroud out of all of them is probably the least affected by it

lusty oyster
lusty oyster
#

i think that's a bit too powerful

fathom horizon
#

i mean it depends on the neuts

#

i want direct attacking types to bypass/punish em

#

the stealthers can be vunerable

lusty oyster
#

rogue pericison shot is only crus immune (and SSduh) because it's a unstoppable attack

#

but their bayonnet stab is not immune

#

#1270004231012614146

#

i should remove the "minor buffs" part because the 'minor buffs' acutally make the role fucking good to use

fathom horizon
lusty oyster
#

no really i don't see it

lusty oyster
# fathom horizon

well i was wasn't thining of "ritualist" or "doomsayer" but really what if we had a NK roleguesser in general

#

i use concepts as inspiration

#

not "what if [blank] was [blank]"

#

don't talk about maigican i deleted that, it was a troll post

loud nexus
lusty oyster
#

that is what distruption is

#

according to @fathom horizon

rb, bounce and control

I mean in terms of what they should be immune to

you back?

fathom horizon

not yet

#

its still grey

austere gulch
#

Rb immunity isn’t “help”

#

It’s just shafting Tav for no reason

#

Let Tav do its job

fathom horizon
#

tavs job is fucking up coven

patent rapids
#

And Town

austere gulch
#

Tavs job is fucking up evils

#

If we keep giving NK arbitrary immunities

#

Than what’s the point of Town having ways to counter them at all

#

Or them having to play smart to avoid detection

fathom horizon
#

because town has a giant ass noose with their name on it

austere gulch
#

There’s a reason not every NK is Tracker, Tav, Vet, BG, Trap, and Psychic immune

austere gulch
fathom horizon
#

town has tis capable of finding nks if they slip up

austere gulch
#

This is like if we decided town is too strong against NK

#

So now NK kills can’t be autopsied

#

It makes no sense

#

And it just serves to make a weak role weaker

patent rapids
austere gulch
#

RB immunity shouldn’t be given out as a buff

#

Let Tav do its fucking job

#

Of stopping evils

#

Stop giving every evil an escape clause

fathom horizon
#

only direct attacking nks should have it

#

and in some cases they give that stuff up

austere gulch
#

That’s fucking arbitrary as shit

fathom horizon
#

for other abilities

austere gulch
#

Let Tav do its job against killers

fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

Don’t just downgrade it to a non-threat

austere gulch
patent rapids
#

Me when A Role that is meant to stop evils doesn't stop evils cause Idk

austere gulch
#

This argument is stupid as shit and honestly sounds like a troll argument now

fathom horizon
#

nks aint coven tho

austere gulch
#

Because someone is arguing that a role not being able to do what it was designed to do is balanced

patent rapids
#

Compliance

fathom horizon
#

town should be geared mainly against coven

austere gulch
austere gulch
#

Are you saying that NK should just be given every immunity under the sun against town

fathom horizon
#

i didnt

austere gulch
#

You seem to just want to promote braindead NK play

fathom horizon
#

tis and tps should still nuke nks

austere gulch
#

But the one role built to counter killers shouldn’t

#

Yeah

#

Real sensible

#

Tav was built to handle killers

#

Not coven

fathom horizon
#

tav countering killers only is a side effect of a terrible attempt at making a town disrupter

austere gulch
#

You’re just arbitrarily making shit up when you say a universal roleblocker isn’t meant to counter NK

austere gulch
#

Tav was meant to be a NK counter

#

Because of the factional kill

#

You do realize that right?

#

Tav was a counter to solo killers

#

That was its whole purpose

patent rapids
#

3/4 NKs Already make Tav kill themselfs

#

LOL

austere gulch
#

And it was interesting because NK could not kill to fool it, or target them early

#

Now you’re saying we should take that away

patent rapids
#

SK/WW/Arso

#

They all kill Tav sooner or later

austere gulch
#

Because “tAv iS gEaReD tOwArDs cOvEn”

patent rapids
#

we don't talk about Shroud

austere gulch
#

It’s not

#

It never fucking was

#

You’re just arbitrarily making shit up because you’re salty about being rbed as NK

fathom horizon
fathom horizon
fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

YOU CAN NOT KILL AS NK AND WATCH TOWN TEAR THEMSELVES APART ON THE RBED TP

patent rapids
#

They still have a kill ;-;

fathom horizon
#

you said the tav was designed to counter solo killers

patent rapids
#

3/4 NKs kill Tav

austere gulch
#

You seem to think that there’s none

#

Which just proves you’re not thinking smart enough

fathom horizon
#

because the cost is too much

#

majority is the goal

austere gulch
#

Which is worth two kills

#

As opposed to one

fathom horizon
#

let the mafia do that for you

austere gulch
#

think before you speak please

fathom horizon
#

i have nks designed specifically to mislynch

austere gulch
#

We’re talking about base tos2 here

#

Not your NK

#

Tav is struggling

patent rapids
#

Tav is only usefull when it's dead (Change my mind)

austere gulch
#

Especially with book passing and arbitrary attack immunity when the killer is an immune coven role

fathom horizon
#

because having like 2 roles(not guaranteed cuz witch/pois shit) as your target pool sucks

fathom horizon
patent rapids
#

Bro is talking to himself smh

fathom horizon
#

discord sucks for me

#

messages dont send

austere gulch
#

That’s what your argument boils down to

#

Woooooow

#

Okay

#

Let’s make it so that TP, the strongest non-Tpow roles in the game, are bad against roles with low winrate

#

They now ignore NK

ocean rampart
#

This feels like it's getting a little heated here, maybe it should cool down

fathom horizon
#

thats not what im saying

austere gulch
#

Because “it’s terrible that TP can just stop an NK from killing!!”

delicate saddle
#

well tp is better for wincons nvm

fathom horizon
#

motherfucking discord

austere gulch
#

The principle is the same

fathom horizon
#

it aint

austere gulch
#

One role is strong against killers and only killers

#

Nk are killers

#

Thus

#

We should make the role strong against killers not strong against killers

#

I can tell you’re grasping here

#

It seems like you just arbitrarily hate what Tav does

fathom horizon
#

tps want to predict whos getting attacked

austere gulch
#

Which in that case

fathom horizon
#

and scare off attackers

austere gulch
#

Instead of suggesting changes that make it completely unviable and extremely niche

#

Just fucking remove it

#

If you hate roleblocking so much

#

Just advocate for its removal

fathom horizon
#

i hate town roleblocking

austere gulch
#

I don’t hate roleblockimg

#

I find town roleblockers very interesting role designs

#

Because unlike many others

#

I see that there’s counterplay

fathom horizon
#

because only way you know you did something good was by rbing a killer

patent rapids
#

In a game where there is no TP tav is the only saving role for town

austere gulch
#

Fuckin hell

#

Have you ever played Exorcist

#

In botc

fathom horizon
#

no dude

#

ive had 2 games

austere gulch
#

Town roleblockers function like Exorcist

#

It’s a puzzles role

#

You determine what happened and rule out your blocked player as any of those roles

#

It’s a fun design that you’re shitting on because again

patent rapids
#

Give nks a roleblocker for Compliance (Fr)

fathom horizon
#

the excorcist cant fucking roleblock nondemons

austere gulch
#

“I HATE roles that can find NK in any way”

#

Guess what

fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

CORONER can find NK

patent rapids
#

Coro the best

austere gulch
#

Even better than Tav

#

An NK gets fucked whenever they’re found anyway

#

So what should the difference be

fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

There is none

#

You’re just grasping

austere gulch
fathom horizon
#

not to mention

#

coroner checks book passing

austere gulch
#

Yet you’re saying Tav should be useless if all Coven die

#

Which is stupid as shit

#

Your idea of a town roleblocker is just one that’s puny, unreliable, gets no fucking info, and weak

fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

That’s something that you can’t possibly expect other people to support

#

Bye

fathom horizon
austere gulch
fathom horizon
#

i did

#

multiple times

austere gulch
#

No

delicate saddle
austere gulch
#

What you said was Tav should only counter Coven

#

Because you were hiding behind a cowardly soft nerf rather than your true belief that Tav should be voided

fathom horizon
#

im not

austere gulch
#

Which proves you don’t design around balance

fathom horizon
#

tav cant be deleted

austere gulch
#

You just design around personal principles of what’s “right”

fathom horizon
#

roles arent getting removed

austere gulch
#

And “just”

fathom horizon
#

for some fucking reason

austere gulch
#

And you’re biased towards NK and biased away from Tav

austere gulch
#

Because you hate town roleblockers

#

It’s that simple

fathom horizon
austere gulch
patent rapids
#

Who else can RB in Town? Jailor?

austere gulch
#

Jailor has a super rb

#

It doesn’t have to deal with rb immune bullshit

#

tav is my favourite role

fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

I’ve found multiple different VMs, DWs, and Medusas in my life

#

Just off of roleblock deduction

#

As much as you hate town roleblockers

patent rapids
#

Tav is my Dream job (An alcoholic) he is just like me FR

austere gulch
#

They’re fun

#

And interactive

#

You just can’t see it

patent rapids
fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

And because you think town roleblockers are dumb because “they’re not interactive”

#

That’s just you being narrow minded

patent rapids
#

YOu guys are like siblings fighting eachother.

austere gulch
#

Tell me

#

How many hours of forum mafia do you have

fathom horizon
#

zero

austere gulch
#

How many games have you played

fathom horizon
#

i dont do multiday

austere gulch
#

Exactly

#

Don’t lecture me on scumreading

#

When you’ve never played mountainous before

#

I was right for a reason
That “pure bullshit” you were spewing wouldn’t have appeared from a town aligned player

delicate saddle
#

what the fuck is mountainous

fathom horizon
#

they said you were based on nothing

austere gulch
fathom horizon
#

and even now as i still try to see what you saw

austere gulch
#

I don’t scumread off luck

fathom horizon
#

i still dont see it

austere gulch
#

I’m not a random shooting dep

austere gulch
fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

Or the D1 communication that lasted an abnormally large amount of time

#

Or the subtle communications with Akip defending immediately

fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

Despite having no info on Tox’s alignment

austere gulch
#

God were you just not paying attention at all

fathom horizon
#

i was

#

you were fucking confusing

austere gulch
#

I didn’t push Tox until after I died

austere gulch
#

It wasn’t luck

#

I can tell you that much

fathom horizon
#

no dude you were sus on them from the start

austere gulch
#

I don’t diceroll

#

I don’t random shoot

fathom horizon
#

and i decided to latch onto you

#

cuz idk shiet bout botc

austere gulch
#

If you’re going to push an evil

#

It’s okay to make yourself look suspicious because a 1f1 is still good for town

#

Do what must be done

fathom horizon
austere gulch
#

Anyway

#

If you can’t see what made me lock in Tox and Akip as an evil pairing

#

You’re just not looking at the big picture

#

Tell me

#

What other players exhibited signs of linkage

#

Or scumtells more apparent then Tox and Akip

#

There were none

#

Hence why I accused them

#

If there was someone more sus

#

I’m would have accused them instead

#

But there was only one real candidate that was acting scummy and softly coordinating

#

Hence I tunneled

#

And was right

fathom horizon
#

yeah again dude, they only started hard defending(and thus exposing themselves in hindsight) after you started pushing

austere gulch
#

This is why you push as town

#

I pushed multiple people beforehand

#

It’s a reaction test used in mountainous

#

If Luka was here he would know

#

I pushed Tox first because he was passive

#

Then I locked in because his reaction and Akip’s immediate defense was NOT something they would have done nearly as quickly and without hesitation if they were evil

winter escarp
#

Man this is some serious Serial Killer Rework discussion

austere gulch
#

You just seem to be blinded by benefit of the doubt

fathom horizon
#

yeah and that was how they exposed themselves as evil

austere gulch
#

That’s a common mistake

fathom horizon
#

not playing passive

austere gulch
#

Made by bad scumreaders

winter escarp
#

Roblox

austere gulch
fathom horizon
#

ahem

austere gulch
#

Even if it’s not universal it’s still one that should be scrutinized

#

Because a passive player is always more suspicious than an active one

austere gulch
#

That’s rule one of scumreading

austere gulch
#

Do you agree

winter escarp
#

The SK rework allows for some passive play into a random new role

fathom horizon
#

generally if im evil im always active

austere gulch
winter escarp
fathom horizon
#

if im good i tend to try and take the sidelines unless im a strong role that needs to lead

austere gulch
#

It seems you don’t know how to scumread, and that’s fine

#

You can still get a job without knowing

winter escarp
#

Oh wait SK "shouldn't be"

fathom horizon
winter escarp
#

Ability should be rbable

fathom horizon

Otherwise, normal kills shouldn't

im calling it random bullshit because everyone else post game said it was

Not everyone can though

and our old demon outed me and our other minion

we basically won cause the old demon was being a dick and the town decided to lose on purpose just to piss him off

but I mean I've straight up solved games as ogre with basically 0 info cause the guy I chose died n2 as undertaker
