Yeah the tricky thing that I’ve found with Tor is that it’s very easy to make a script work with Tor, it’s just whether the script outside of its interactions for Tor is actually good

I do think an honourable mention goes to mayor, but mayor is a baity-er and plainer character overall.

However I really like it conceptually. Trying to play Sus enough not to instantly die but trustworthy enough so people go for your mayor win. However, at least on Trouble Brewing, it does feel like the Mayor doesn't have many ways at all to help themselves mechanically outside of slayer/Fortune Teller

Also, they're your rallies already, so its more about whipping voters into a frenzy than convincing moderates or the other side. and zealot / preacher are the ones who can really do that, to my knowledge, and both of which seem to have dangerous undertones in their messaging

someone that good at making peaceful solutions NEEDS to be in office

The Mayor's solution to violence against them is to grab random citizens as meatshields

This is not someone good at making peaceful solutions

well they don't know it happened in the first place, what can you do

the Mayor is so beloved that people are impersonating them to sacrifice themselves to the assassins

#

(unfitting considering Assassin is immune to that)

😭

#

anyway, being able to end the Demon's reign of terror just by not executing anybody must mean the Mayor has a great plan

But how often do you see a real Mayor win?

These modern politicians, you can't distinguish them from drunks if you don't know where to look!

[11/8] STORY TIME:

Tell us about whena comical series of misunderstandings led to a reasonable ST ruling to turn into anything but

#

like a drunk math number accidentally closing worlds such that the oracle must be sober (theyn't) which solves an ambiguous (from good's perspective) pair of savant statements pointing to the good twin as the demon, who then gets executed and ends the game

My levi wizard teensy had the huntsman pick the damsel n1 and turn them into a savant
the resulting savant statements became more and more deranged as the evil wizard turned themselves into heretic and the alch wizard turned themselves and all good players except the savant into budget psychopaths
eventually they ended up with the conclusion that executing the demon would lose them the game because they became convinced that there was no heretic and the demon was the wizard alch who had publicly wished and used their psychopath ability

Psychopath seems like the only option.

Golem can only kill one person.
Lycanthrope can't kill the Psychopath or Po.
Gunslinger only kills voters and we can't be sure the rest are involved in the democratic process.

So between Po & Psychopath, Psychopath can at least act first and quite rapidly.
