TS needs amne !!!

serene jewel
#

hmm

#

Any specific reason?

empty ether
#

I mean

#

Why is it not TS already

#

The reasoning was an ickle bit odd imo

#

And also it makes Amne a super rough evil claim

#

Since it can only take up an RT slot

serene jewel
#

It's kinda weird for a role in general because it only really exists as "amnesiac" on N1

#

It being classified under no alignment does feel weird

empty ether
#

But TS is the correct category for it

reef sage
#

Unless there's no town dead

empty ether
#

Ret, Amne and Tav are all kind of anti swing, or keeping the game in town's favour overall without power becoming inbalanced

#

Admirer is also there

serene jewel
#

Admirer exists

empty ether
#

Admirer stops early game swing, Ret comes in late game

#

Tav does its own thing

#

Admirer

next gate
#

claim ts as amne and die for it

empty ether
#

mhm!

#

its a very weird change that only applies to Amnesiac

reef sage
#

Amne: CT here
Ritualist: its free real estate

next gate
#

people get too high on the whole "amne isn't ts!!" thing

#

when you literally can't do much else unless you remember ti

empty ether
#

Myeah

#

this is one of the pieces of reasoning for Amne being RT that I can find, for reference

empty ether
next gate
#

we all know that losing an rt is so much better

empty ether
#

TS is kind of a nothing category

next gate
#

the opportunity cost of an amne vs a ret hurts a lot more than the opportunity cost of an amne vs a jailor stacked with another tpow, as we all know

empty ether
#

Retri and Amne were the only duo that had a consistent thing going on

reef sage
#

Dare I say this is another Common Curtis L?

empty ether
#

Retri, Admirer and Tav are such a weird combo, they aren't doing much

reef sage
#

*Ret and Tav

#

Admirer is clearly an evil role

empty ether
#

tru !

#

and a bug report generator

next gate
#

simply another one of curtis' many objectively wrong takes

empty ether
#

Meh

#

I don't think its worth bashing him over it fr

#

He obviously did it with the intent to make people happier since, some people don't like Amne

#

I think it wasn't like, a super necessary change at all though it just put Amne in this weird anti-claimspace limbo

next gate
#

I do think that amne is a very important part of evil claimspace

#

it gives a lot of leeway with claiming and can basically be swapped into/out of on the spot n1 depending on what dies

reef sage
#

It can be a fun fake claim ye

empty ether
#

Myeah

#

Limiting it to only RT slots made it a much harder claim

#

Except for like in All Any I spose

next gate
#

it's crazy to think that it literally used to instantly reveal its existence

empty ether
#

And in general, it's nice to have another actually claimable role in TS

empty ether
#

That was... a time!

next gate
#

truly

reef sage
#

1 or 2?

empty ether
#

Currently TS is like, Tav unclaimable unless you're pois, and Retri maybe? Depending on what's in the graveyard

#

Admirer is the only claimable once fancy that

next gate
reef sage
#

Wild

empty ether
#

So it's no wonder admirer claims are so often evil

next gate
#

just another one of bmg's dumb tos1 relics

#

luckily they were more than willing to gut it

empty ether
#

They kept the mechanic but didn't understand why it was there in the first place

#

To be fair, I'm not 100% sure of why it was there to begin with aside from like, letting town know another evil is in play?

#

in tos 1

weak hill
#

i'd still prefer amne being neutral over town

next gate
#

even in tos1 it was highly debated whether or not the amne reveal should exist

empty ether
#

This is specifically about town amne tho

next gate
#

but that aside, amne being ts would be a good change for the slot

empty ether
weak hill
reef sage
#

I liked it in tos 1
Nothing like that "oh crap" moment when town sees an amne remembered a NK or Pest

next gate
#

ts claims are basically either claiming ret or admi right now

weak hill
#

nah claiming TS is a one way ticket to dead chat

next gate
#

so it's an incredibly weak slot to claim

reef sage
#

Even the evils don't wanna claim tav lol

empty ether
#

Tav is a suicidal claim unless you can fake it

#

Even then, good luck claiming tav as like auditor LOL

next gate
#

yeah

#

even as real tav, things can get pretty rough

reef sage
#

Even if you prove town will probably lynch you anyway

#

Too many evil rbers

next gate
#

someone gets poisoned, someone gets audited, famine transforms

#

everyone starts looking at the tav claim

empty ether
#

yuup

#

Tav is not that useful in the grand scheme of things

#

Escort's main value was perma locking mafioso out of kills

#

Which was horrible granted

#

But it was a use !

next gate
#

interesting how adding evil role counters doesn't really make a role any more fakeable, yet makes the role less confirmable at the same time

reef sage
#

TS and TK slots are in dire straits currently

empty ether
#

TK is doing fine tbh

#

Trickster and Dep are both very fakeable

next gate
#

tk is okay at least

empty ether
#

It's Vigi and to an extent Vet that are issues

next gate
#

vigi definitely needs to be brought down a peg, and I would like to see vet and dep overhauled again

#

trickster is balanced in a weird way

empty ether
#

Dep is fine to be honest it's just boring

next gate
#

I personally don't like it

empty ether
#

After the rework I honestly think the daykill is fine

reef sage
#

Vigi's the only role that can proactively shoot someone when it comes down to it. Vet takes a visit, Dep does nothing but miss, and Trickster has to play TP first.

empty ether
#

Vigi is 100% the strongest TK by a wide margin

next gate
#

it's also way too basic

empty ether
#

It used to be overlooked because its old competition was

  • Vet who used to be a self confirmation machine
  • Jailor (lol)
  • Vampire Hunter (does not exist)
#

Now its fighting against actually existant fake claimable TKs that aren't going crazy

next gate
#

crazy to think that vigi and The Cooler Vigilante used to be in the same slot

reef sage
#

Same with Ret and Mayor

next gate
#

I guess jailor was basically always confirmed if it was allowed to spawn and it wasn't all any

empty ether
#

Tos 1 ret (post rework) was soooooo so so so bad

next gate
#

and it existed until 2019

#

what does this say about our state

empty ether
#

I am so glad that corpses don't rot anymore, even if there is some dumb interactions that still need fixing

#

TOS has always been a mess huh

next gate
#

the whole thing with body stealing is probably my least favorite thing about retri right now

#

it's the same kind of frustration as when it was unique in tos1

empty ether
#

Yeahhh its just dumb

next gate
#

"that retri claim is fake!! I used that body!!!"

empty ether
#

I have a hunch its related to how the game works internally

#

Still dumb tho

next gate
#

it's a compromise to avoid having someone be controlled to more than one target I think

empty ether
#

yeah

#

because you're basically witching a dead player

#

its weeeeird

misty notch
#

just make amne a real role

jagged ermine
#

I hate Amne as it is

#

Any excuse to make it less of a role is a welcome one

next gate
#

why don't they just start banning it from normal modes then

#

we still have to deal with its existence all the same

next gate
#

many modes only have 1 ts slot at most, and some even have 0

jagged ermine
#

Thats why my Ret rework explicitly removes that

coral saddle
#

more than 2 amnes legit doesn't work on a list

serene jewel
#

I just had a silly modifier idea: One townie starts out as the "Amnesiac" (modifier status), upon a townie dying, this townie may choose to replace their current role with the dead one [Probably a bit bad since you can't really fake amne]

coral saddle
#

that is objectively bad yes

#

fun but bad

silk anvil
#

id be on board with this change as long as amne isnt a nothing role

jagged ermine
#

Is this my cue to post my rework

silk anvil
#

yes.
