(Passive) Wiretap * You are able to hear all whispers. * You may choose to privately whisper either of your **Recruit**s (Would function similar to the old Elder whisper in vanilla), but they may not whisper back without notifying the town.

#

Jackal needs something but probably not an ability

#

So another Passive should do

#

(And seeing eachother + the Jackal's roles)

#

Hmmm, Powerful attack yet no ability

#

HMMMM

oh

#

yeah sure

#

do this

barren frost Jul 16, 2025, 3:17 AM

#

Gimme a sec

#

Should recs still be lifelinked or should Jackal just get Assassinate once a rec dies?

vast elk Jul 16, 2025, 3:18 AM

#

keep lifelink

compact acorn Jul 16, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

If there isn't a lifelink then there isn't a way for the Pandora to kill their "Pandora" rec

sorry the fucking elder whisper???

#

TOWN ELDERS HAD SECRET WHISPERS???

barren frost Jul 16, 2025, 3:32 AM

#

Yep

vestal cape Jul 16, 2025, 3:32 AM

#

HOW AM I ONLY NOW HEARING ABOUT THIS

barren frost Jul 16, 2025, 3:33 AM

#

It wouldn't show up to Town, it was supposed to be used to help new players without outting their role to the entire town

#

BTW I used Elder whispers to explain wiretap because you would still be able to whisper them normally to prevent people from saying "Whisper outted rec to prove you're not Jackal"

At this point, just let Recs know who Jackal is.

Kinda removes the whole point of the "Recs don't know who Jackal is" gimmick if the Jackal can freely whisper to them.

I'm fine with that

#

You said to just let Recs know Jackal since Jackal can whisper them but I already had that

alpine forge Jul 17, 2025, 4:04 AM

#

Everything but the whisper hearing is fine

#

SK only got it so they have the info of the whispering of the person they were disguising ss

#

*as

#

Otherwise it could be metagamed the fuck out of

#

"TPOW: im giving everyone a code word. Respond tomorrow or die."
Tpow is whispering 9 "Tpow: Apple"
next day
"Tpow: @9 didnt know codeword theyre sk"

#

So that makes sense for it

#

But why does jackal get it

#

Like tf

barren frost Jul 17, 2025, 4:08 AM

#

Same reason Wildling gets it

#

#

Wildling is not an example of good role design

#

It's so bad the only time it does anything is when someone full claims jailor in whispers d2

#

If it doesn't catch anything big it's literally useless

Tell that to the countless vanilla players who defend it

wtf why do people defend wildling having whispers

#

it should just have

#

actually consistent utility

#

instead of being a claimbag with info that sometimes helps

I made a reddit post making fun of wildling and like most of the comments where people defending it

Can we alow Jackal to have Powerful attack if it doesn't start with recruits please

barren frost Jul 21, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

What does that even mean Jackal is guaranteed to have recs

exotic hazel Jul 21, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

If Jackal spawns with 14 town he wouldn't have recs
