Typical

literally

stoic igloo
#

I think they're just a troll

knotty glacier
#

it's hard to tell at this point, but i definitely wouldn't be surprised if it was genuine

stoic igloo
#

If they were geniune

#

They wouldn't react so bluntly

#

They would just stop talking when they realize they have no rebuttal that doesnt make them sound insane

knotty glacier
#

well, okay, genuine to a point. eventually they were for sure just fucking with us

stoic igloo
#

I've dealt with a lot of genuine people with bad takes

#

That's usually how it goes

knotty glacier
#

yeah

#

the exact same thing happened earlier in this very thread

#

insert witty joke about ad hominem i guess idk

Missing the WHOLE POINT OF THE NE ISSUES

#

hey I know doom is a toxic anti everyone role that usually sides with town but I think that's because you are trash 👍

Doomsayer is good you just have skill issue man get better

It’s statistically better to choose coven

shy coral
valid quest
#

yeah because nothing in that should be autoflagged

#

something is wrong here

#

losing one tpow is gonna be annoying for town of course yes

#

???

#

#

@foggy star ok the conclusion is

#

discord hates you

exotic skiff

is gonna be

shy coral
#

I sent this and my power went out lmao

exotic skiff
#

whenever I see inconsistencies nowadays, my brain goes to AI

foggy star
#

why do i have 4 pings here

#

who wants me that bad

#

oh

foggy star
#

discord got something against me

#

they already banned my last account

gentle pecan
#

anyways i love how most of the dislikes didnt bother to explain why they dont like it

#

my favorite

cyan geode
#

I think it's pretty simple

#

are you for or against the idea that anti-everyone NE doesn't work and needs a whole overhaul

gentle pecan
#

it'd be nice to know the why

exotic skiff
#

I explained why already, but I can understand your side of things

gentle pecan
#

id like to know why

rigid mist
#

why dont you look into the other side of the argument

random cipher
#

i just feel like most of these are anti-town

gentle pecan
random cipher
#

which is fine, but it doesnt makes sense when NP exsists

#

the whole point of that bucket is anti-town

#

so why are we having the same goal in different buckets

#

it doesnt make sense to me

gentle pecan
#
  1. this focuses on actually doing stuff pariah cant
  2. these goals and roles leave early, the other stuff was tacked on to make them not suck to play if town wasn't falling for the NE

#

Since lagspikes wants the dislikes to explain themselves, I’ll quickly explain mine (pls don’t force me to argue)

  1. This feels far too similar to the Neutral Pariah alignment, yet even easier since they can win without accomplishing their primary goal

  2. This feels incredibly unfun to play against. While I understand it could be better from a competitive stance, I think it should still at least retain some fun in it (like, say, Temporary’s necromancer rework proposal which is both fun and balanced). Having an executioner that screws you hard or a jester that can literally destroy the information in the graveyard sucks and makes it much less fun since it forces you to make a lot of guesses.

foggy star
#

id like to refute the second part since limiting towns access to basically free information is insanely helpful considering how the game works currently

#

not having everything spoonfed to you can feel alot more rewarding in the end of the game even if you dont think itll be

gentle pecan
frigid pier
#

I’m just scared that it’ll result in a lot of standstills where town has no useful information and cannot do anything

soft halo
foggy star
#

not gonna happen

soft halo
#

It's like Inquisitor. If all heretics just die on their own, sure

#

That's totally fine.

foggy star
gentle pecan
#

im probably going to end up re-doing this by tuesday prob

random cipher
#

isnt the point of CD just to disrupte town?

gentle pecan
#

like enchanter who can fool TI and roleflips

foggy star
#

town is spoonfed way too much free info in the game already

#

with the wdah section and also list deduction

gentle pecan
foggy star
#

and massclaiming

#

town will never not have avenues for information

foggy star
#

thats a good like

frigid pier
#

Fair point, I’m mostly a vanilla AA player so I kinda forgot that the list could provide info

foggy star
#

70%? of this game

random cipher
#

i think i have a enchanter rework that i made a bit ago

foggy star
#

maybe more

random cipher
#

cause town does get a lot of info easily

foggy star
#

aa is good for the reason that list deduction literally does not matter

gentle pecan
foggy star
#

vt?

gentle pecan
#

vanilla town

foggy star
#

ohhhh

random cipher
#

isnt that the list with 5 coven

foggy star
#

no?

#

it has 4 random coven and the rest random/common town

#

and i think theres either an nk or np thrown in there

gentle pecan
gentle pecan
#

np

#

and town is 2 tpow rest CT

foggy star
#

oh yeah

gentle pecan
#

anyways ill probably make a variant of this

#

thats anti everyone

foggy star
#

i think vanilla town is honestly a great example of how the absence rolelist deduction just overall more beneficial for nontown as a whole

#

also yeah i said it earlier but im open to anti everyone if it can be done correctly

#

since thats what alot of people seem to want

#

also holy i just realised this post has 13 dislikes

gentle pecan
#

(i dont care but I think anti town works better on common neutrals)

foggy star
#

if anti everyone can be done well then ill accept it

#

unfortunately it means common neutral is still objective swingy though

#

just less so ig

gentle pecan
#

yeah

cyan geode
foggy star
#

yeah

rigid mist
#

I exist

#

the only role I can't make a fix for is jester rn

#

On the Common Neutral issue, I honestly never understood the bucket, NPs don't feel like they should be common, they feel more like Power Roles than Support/Utility Roles (due to Judge and ability disabling) though I understand that's more of a balance to the fact they don't have safe direct communication to allies. Not only that, in the current state, the two alignments in the bucket are already vastly different which is why the swing happens, might be better to just not have that bucket since that swingy nature that is inherently present unless NE is turned into another NP (or vice-versa but that's never happening) is what people don't like.

#

As for what to do to the lists that have them, I have no idea, but perhaps simply focusing it down to one or the other depending on whether most agree the evils need the help or not might be better, though it would probably require quite some shifting around of the lists.

rigid mist
#

that's kinda just the simplest way to put it

valid quest
gentle pecan
#

because it can really suck to play as

valid quest
#

add oberseve Trollface

#

ok but yeah no uhh

#

i rather doom have more impact

#

if their gonna fuck off

#

instead of help evils

#

always

gentle pecan
#

helping evils is literally all of these role’s goals

valid quest
#

help evils always

#

i did a unlucky tism of

#

pressing enter early

gentle pecan
#

these are diversion roles for evils to cause havoc on town

valid quest
#

ok but they still leave

#

no?

#

yeah

#

so again

#

i want them to have impact

exotic skiff
#

This is funnier

rigid mist
#

it's called a tertiary third party

stoic igloo
#

Im surprised this has so many downvotes

#

Anti-everyone roles are pretty stupid

gentle pecan
#

apparently people like anti everyone

stoic igloo
#

They're the definition of kingmaking

gentle pecan
#

i worked that terribly

gentle pecan
#

ngl I want to re-do this to make it more punishing on town for letting the NE win

#

currently executioner and doomsayer are the only two im not gonna scrap

#

since they are fine (I think atleast)

#

(well i did doom anyways but like)

cosmic fjord
#

no, i feel like if anything, nes should be anti everybody

gentle pecan
#

you cannot be equally anti everyone

cosmic fjord
#

my best description of ne and np, is np will do whatever is in their power to try to make town lose, ne will do whatver they can to make sure they accomplish their goal, harming anybody is collateral basically

#

executioner isnt inherintly anti town, he is just trying to kill a specific person who is town, jester isnt anti town, they just want to get voted, and they will kill someone who helped

#

for example

#

ok exe

#

is kinda anti town

#

ig

gentle pecan
#

executioner is hard anti town

cosmic fjord
#

but

#

ok

#

that may be true

#

but

#

i may have misspoke

gentle pecan
#

i cannot take anti everyone neutral evil seriously when we had shit like old torment

#

or jester

#

if you can make it work go for it

#

IF

eager tartan
#

i personally dont like the idea of NEs being NP lite

gentle pecan
#

yeah but i don’t want to deal with the shit like old exe or inquisitor targeting the entire jackal faction

#

now what

eager tartan
#

we dont talk about the dogshit that was Executioner

#

as for Inquisitor, thats just unlucky

gentle pecan
gentle pecan
eager tartan
#

make Inquis check for recruits then

#

cuz they have to have opposing factions

gentle pecan
#

two coven and the jackal is still town aligned inquis

#

3 jackals was just an example

eager tartan
#

nothing can be done about that

gentle pecan
#

making inquisitor

eager tartan
#

and no, 100% town heretic isnt good

gentle pecan
#

anti town

eager tartan
#

NEs should not be anti-town, otherwise they are NP lite.

gentle pecan
#

the EVIL role opposing good is bad?

gentle pecan
eager tartan
#

why the hell would we want NP lite

#

we have NPs

gentle pecan
eager tartan
#

cuz anti town is NP's thing

gentle pecan
#

is it just that lol

eager tartan
#

well

#

no

#

All NEs are anti everyone

#

including current Executioner

gentle pecan
#

what

eager tartan
#

just current exe usually harms town more than evils

#

but trust me, current exe can very much harm evils

gentle pecan
#

current executioner is the textbook definition of pariah lite

#

mislynch a TOWN and remove a trial

gentle pecan
eager tartan
#

me when im coven and Executioner makes me lose 🔥

eager tartan
#

hang exe target

#

bam

#

one less trial for Coven to find Death or Famine

gentle pecan
#

you still help evils

eager tartan
#

no

gentle pecan
#

who cares which evils it is

eager tartan
#

you help yourself

gentle pecan
#

death winning is what pariah would want

eager tartan
#

which is an NE

gentle pecan
#

post win?

eager tartan
#

thats a punishment

gentle pecan
#

which benefits who

#

💀

eager tartan
#

nobody, really.

gentle pecan
#

yeah im not dealing with this shit right now

eager tartan
#

ive been town, and one less trial barely does anything

gentle pecan
#

goodnight

gentle pecan
eager tartan
#

ah yes

#

Exe winning enables One Trial mode

cosmic fjord
#

they should make it so that instead of there being one exe in a game cause i think its unique, they should make it so that there is 3 exes

eager tartan
#

I very much prefer removing trials the next day over removing a trial for the remainder of the game.

NPs are well designed neutrals. NEs in their current state are not and never will be.
