#Remove Evil last wills, words and deathnotes

This applies for all evils

The Changes

  • No last wills will be shown
  • no last words phase like the recruits,
  • and no deathnotes for any evil (even if nk)

why? evils can still out eachother very easily, and I don’t think it should happen at all

When Hidden Roles is enabled, last wills will be enabled, last words is whatever

Enchanter/Medusa interactions

  • Alterating someone to evil will hide their will
  • Alterating someone into good and outing someone with it is now considered foul play
    Note: Outing a player using a vigilante will or something to say someone is something for a push isnt, but going "lol 6 is arso" should be
  • Petrified Players cannot use their last words phase
    "You feel your body turning to stone before you could utter your last words"

only complaint i can ever forsee is it being “too boring” for the casual playerbase

#

If you need deathnotes with brainrot in them to keep you from dying of boredom, please read a book.

What if the day lynch is petrified

#

Stoned people don't have wills

"they had last words, they were town"

white folio
#

ill add that clause

pine bridge
#

oh

white folio
#

mobile sucks lemme get on pc

steady ice
#

Honestly i think it should be more of a modifier, but that's just my opinion

hexed forge
#

"You feel your body turning to stone before you could utter your last words" Antics

white folio
#

im using that as flavor

#

tidied it and edited it to include medusa

karmic patio
#

but other than that i like it

white folio
#

forgot about hidden roles

#

its like used in 2 lists tops

karmic patio
#

either that or all last wills are disabled in hidden roles

forest agate
#

No.

karmic patio

#

just play better if a will outs you

#

you can easily deny it

white folio
hexed forge
#

Me when I counter the PM's claim with "nuh uh"

karmic patio
#

just play around the instant and anonymous revealing that your role is evil bro

#

skill issue on your part

forest agate

#

be 1
be arso

"1 is arso"

can't reveal because you're not mayor

#

gg

forest agate
karmic patio
#

arso mayor reveal

white folio
#

you can fake reveals but nothing ever comes of them

#

like bluffing slayer

#

in botc

open steeple
#

Also revealing who arso is will out the PMer quickly

karmic patio
#

Arso (and only arso) can reveal as Mayor

open steeple
#

Arso has no reason not to go "well X visited me n1 so he's PMer!"

open steeple
#

Better to put sus on the arso than to out them with a death note

#

Regardless, death notes are fine gone IMO

karmic patio
#

I point at last wills

#

PM dies and outs arso, not much arso can do there

forest agate
#

you can do that

white folio
#

yeah ok it still gets lots of attention your way

#

and its bad

#

the solution?

#

remove it

forest agate
#

no

#

also the stoned removes last words is fucking stupid

forest agate
open steeple
#

These changes make the game much more competitive but it removes a lot of charm and flavor from the gamr

hexed forge
open steeple
#

It's just lame

#

Removing features

forest agate
#

how does that work

#

stoned can just lie

hexed forge
#

Insane reading comprehension

forest agate
# hexed forge

no, you're saying it confirms the stoned person as town

#

HOW

#

FUCKING EXPLAIN IT

hexed forge
#

The suggestion makes evils unable to use last words

forest agate
#

all of this is just unneeded

open steeple
#

No Last Words phase is the worst of the trio

#

By far

forest agate

#

i really hate the “foul play” clause in this

Its effectively calling a legitimate strategy gamethrowing because it kills an opposing faction without you also getting outed

Just nerf enchanter, dont limit it with gamethrow clauses

white folio
forest agate
open steeple
minor bear
open steeple
#

And it also allows for mislynches

white folio

#

It's an important tool for evils to utilize

open steeple
#

The other two aren't

open steeple

#

if you're outted coven that wouldn't be throwing

minor bear
#

This suggestion really should be added as a separate modifier without the foul play clause

because it’s obviously very controversial and shouldn’t always be in the base game

pine bridge
#

This isn't the base game

minor bear
#

Like base btos2

white folio

white folio
#

theres a reason

forest agate
open steeple
#

It just makes it more annoying

claiming non town roles is usually throwing

#

atleast non NE

The Death Note one is the only one I agree with

or pirate

This suggestion just makes sense

I see no downsides to this

minor bear

It's just not fun

#

casual playerbase is heated at this suggestion

white folio

#

It's "more competitive" but it's not fun

because i don't like pirates

when do we tell lagspikes that speaking spirits exists

lol

#

@minor bear has leveled up! (6 ➜ 7)

forest agate
#

and last wills

grim wadi
#

Especially in stuff like last wills and death notes

hexed forge
#

About the foul play rule, there's a difference between:

  • "I'm enchanter forging this guy, 5 is arso"
  • "Vigilante N2: Shooting 5"
    If the second one was foul play, I feel like it would cause issues
white folio
#

i just want to enjoy playing the game man

forest agate
open steeple
forest agate
#

play a custom with that

#

if you want this so bad

open steeple
#

If you know you're getting hung, there's nothing stopping you from spilling everything

#

Instantly

#

It's just unnecessary

grim wadi
hexed forge
#

I suggested no last wills in the modifier competition and I think it just got added as an extra cuz it's so easy to code Antics

minor bear
grim wadi
#

And what

hexed forge
#

Foul play rules are annoying

open steeple
# grim wadi How

It's an easily bypass able restriction that just restricts aspects of the game

forest agate
open steeple
white folio
#

faking a legit will isnt the same as going "lol this guy arso lmao"

grim wadi
#

"Easily bypassable" as in you have to throw away your chance of survival to out someone

#

That doesn't sound easily bypassable to me

forest agate
grim wadi
#

Also restriction doesn't mean something is less fun

grim wadi
#

Plus it's getting a rework

forest agate
white folio
grim wadi
#

Also this solution is still just better than that, without this addition all the evils are getting outed

hexed forge
#

I love roles that say "hello guys I am X the Coven member"!!!! /s

grim wadi
#

Sure, it means there are certain niche scenarios where evils are 100% outed and so they out everyone they can, but most of the time that isn't happening

forest agate
leaden zinc
#

i find it funny how coven had the "no death notes" rule applied when bers can easily do the same thing when combined with a baker

open steeple
forest agate
grim wadi
#

???

#

This just makes it so evils are outed less

#

In less scenarios, I mean, cause most evils aren't just gonna sit there and take a lynch. No, they're gonna push back and try not to get lynched

forest agate
#

(being generous by underestimating) 90% of the player base would hate it if this was added to base BToS2

open steeple
# grim wadi ???

My point is that this doesn't actually help in preventing Neutrals from being found, since it's easy to out them when you're already outed.

These are unnecessary restrictions that kill some aspects of the fun.

grim wadi
#

"Fun" as in completely unrelated to the core gameplay?

#

We can shave that off

minor bear
hexed forge
open steeple
#

Death notes I agree with

#

But it literally only affects neutrals

forest agate

forest agate

austere cedar
#

if you want to hang another evil, push them

open steeple
#

Which includes being able to speak when you're about to be hung

grim wadi
#

Right before you lose

minor bear
#

yeah don’t remove death notes from NKs unless in compliance, they’re already pretty weak as is

forest agate
forest agate
austere cedar
#

literally remove Death Notes forever

#

you cannot physically balance Death Notes

grim wadi
#

The gameplay revolves around trying to NOT get hung. You've already lost if you got hung as an evil, there's no benefit to the gameplay in letting an evil become a martyr

austere cedar
#

they will always be unfair

forest agate
karmic patio
#

death notes are now forced to be pre-determined ASCII arts instead of customisable notes

austere cedar
#

why should evils be able to silently communicate with the Town

karmic patio
grim wadi
austere cedar
#

Death Notes might even be a liability sometimes

forest agate
grim wadi
#

As in lost THE GOAL of not getting hung

austere cedar
#

they should just

#

begone

karmic patio
#

if you're a soloist evil and you get hanged because coven decided to put you in their anonymous free win note

grim wadi
#

Read a sentence before and you'd figure that out

you've lost the game

what game have you been playing

yeah this doesnt mean 2 shits in most modes

not that i care, i want em gone

austere cedar
minor bear
# grim wadi How?

because it limits a lot of strategies that you can pull off as an evil

austere cedar
#

what game has True All Any

grim wadi

Because if so that's the point, this is MEANT to be limiting

forest agate
#

if it helps you

austere cedar

why do last words even exist lmao

Legacy addition I think

you're already being hung it doesn't matter what you say

probably because

push the evils?

forest agate
austere cedar
#

i know it's an unpopular strategy but you should try it!

grim wadi
#

PM can be very useful with finding stuff like hidden vigilantes or tpows, or jesters or neutrals

austere cedar
#

you are an evil

forest agate
minor bear
austere cedar
#

you want town to believe you

forest agate
#

you're not a person

austere cedar
minor bear
#

I really think it should just be limited to Competitive modes only

This idea is so stupid and messy for other modes

austere cedar
#

they don't KNOW you revealed them all they know is that you visited them

white folio
#

its only messy for select modifiers

austere cedar
#

for all the Arsonist knows you probably protected them

minor bear
#

actually maybe that is a fair point

grim wadi
#

There's like, no core gameplay related to evil last words and last wills

#

90% of the time they don't affect the game anyway

forest agate
#

this should be at most a competitive only or custom only modifier

grim wadi
#

It's just a problem with the 10% chance it does

forest agate
minor bear

exactly

Altering doesn’t

forest agate

Since we're arguing so much over the edge case of enchanter's Alterate, I'm assuming the rest of the suggestion is pretty solid?

austere cedar

foul play is literally just being toxic

I kinda forgot we were arguing about Enchanter tbh

even tho we should

I agree though that, it sucks that players are able to just make someone else lose the game when they die

For no good reason other than that they can

forest agate
#

blue on the cat

austere cedar
#

insert terrible marketing

grim wadi
#

To out an evil here means outing yourself, first of all

#

Removing death notes would mean there's that inherent risk involved

#

So most people simply wouldn't unless they've lost all hope

#

And with the way you can't see people's votes until the verdict has been decided, I don't think most people would lose themselves their chances of staying alive just to out one more evil

austere cedar
#

generally with no death notes, evils actually need to think and plan ahead how we are going to deal with this obstacle, being an opposing evil

cunning rapids
#

do you know what the "final words" phase is?

austere cedar
#

decide how they are going to get rid of this obstacle

grim wadi
#

Last words mean you get to out an evil without any consequences. You're dead anyway, might as well help your team

minor bear
#

this suggestion removes that for evils I think

forest agate
cunning rapids
#

oh I read that incorrectly

white folio
#

i expected this tbh

grim wadi
forest agate
minor bear
#

I still don’t like this idea

white folio
#

"i think it should be scrapped" is the 1:1 of you should delete it

hexed forge
#

Delete your post, I disagree with your opinion, therefore your rights for free speech should be revoked Antics

austere cedar
#

are we going to push them during the day? are we going to kill them during the night? are we going to convince the Town to kill them during the night?

grim wadi
#

The death note part seems to be universally agreed on, the last words is a bit more controversial

white folio
#

this post solely exists because of that

forest agate
#

to make it better

white folio
#

there is flat out nothing i can do to change this post other than defeat the whole point of it

austere cedar
#

Last Words are 100% lore balancing

#

I will stand by that

unless i want to go all out dictatorship and add more rules under it

I genuinely want to know

forest agate

#

im just fucking sick and tired of rolling NK, being attacked early and being outed within minutes

minor bear
#

I mean it sucks but implementing something like this would lead to so many weird scenarios and loopholes that it’s honestly best not to

austere cedar
#

if you are the last of your team it 100% is

forest agate
#

so this is useless

white folio
austere cedar
#

no

#

they out you by using the unfair advantage they gain from death notes and last words

white folio
#

they dont push until its a dead coven member in their last words / notes

#

or an apoc death note

forest agate
white folio
#

better yet

#

another NK

austere cedar
forest agate
#

if another NK outs an nk with death note that is alright because that could backfire

austere cedar
#

aren't there 2 Coven roles that already counter NKs

forest agate
austere cedar
#

no, 3

forest agate
#

🤯

grim wadi
# minor bear I mean it sucks but implementing something like this would lead to so many weird...

What? Loopholes for outing evils? Like being able to talk in a discussion based game? You're always going to be able to out an evil by outing yourself, but the last words are problematic because you're already getting outed, and so it only makes sense to out everyone else you can. This suggestion removes that, making evil outing a double edged sword that most people already refuse to touch.

# forest agate 1 is arso 1's role was **Sheriff**

yeah coven can lie, and if town believe it they are stupid, but when you are NK and coven just outs you in will and people believe the cov will, it feels awful

Another issue with this is that theres not really any reason not to out them, it removes a threat to your team

austere cedar

if only there WASN'T a huge gap at the bottom of their will which leads to "8 is arso :)"

Evils lying

To get town mislynched

I lie all the time to get town mislynched

If you don’t want Coven to be able to out NK

Just make it so that they can’t find NK as easily

There are less janky solutions than this

no

austere cedar
#

it contradicts getting rid of the meta

austere cedar
#

it's not about how easy it is for Coven to find evils, it's about how they can out them for free

#

with 0 risk involved

#

99% of the time a Potion Master will not be lying in their last words

#

or any investigative evil role

#

and Town knows that it's true that those evils can learn this information

#

this even goes for Dreamweaver

#

this is the first ever argument that makes Dreamweaver seem like a powerful role

grim wadi
#

Also, its pretty easy to find neutrals if you attack them, they don't die, and nobody claims to protect them.

white folio
#

pariah half solve that issue though

#

its still dumb that evils can go as they’re dying “lol 6 sk”

tired mesa
#

Mayhaps make this a modifier that's only used in modes with nks

#

Like, TT evil wills are useful

white folio
#

yeah thats probably a better solution
