Idk how well this would work, especially alongside Canadian and all, but what if there was a Goose who automatically planted a 15 second bomb on their murderer? People could say in Draft, "he's ticking and there's no demo so he killed the [insert sweet goose name here]". Or maybe the killer could delete the evidence by passing the bomb off to the person who saw them ticking. It seems like too much power if it was the same as a bomb though, especially if the explosion made a sound all players can hear, AND left a pair of webbed feets

%Role

Name: Golden
Team: Geese
Win Conditions: Win with Geese

Information: Much like the Gravy Goose is able to increase their own bonus if they survive at the end of the round after completing tasks. The Golden Goose will reward the entire goose team with an extra bonus by how may tasks they complete and if they survive to the end. The Golden Goose will not complete their role if any other team wins, even if they are still alive. Unlike the Gravy Goose, there is nothing marking the Golden Goose visible to the other players. This makes it harder to find and kill the Golden Goose. However, because they have no visible marker to show that they are the Golden Goose, they can be assassinated if they're not careful.

gusty bone
#

An interesting idea, as claiming the Golden Goose would make geese extra wary of voting you off, but claiming it as a duck would draw a lot of unwanted attention (and witnesses) to you, effectively making you have to go passive.

#

I kinda like this engineer
It's a role which has very little gameplay effects, but I like how it adds a layer onto the social aspect of the game (who's claiming the Golden, is the golden actually doing tasks, should we be following the golden).

%Role

Name: Sentry
Team: Ducks
Win Condition: Win with Ducks

Information: A duck that can plant a sentry gun in any accessible area of the map. The sentry gun would have to be activated manually by the Sentry duck as if they're activating a sabotage. Once the sentry gun is fired during the round, it disappears and cannot be redeployed until the next round. The sentry gun would have a limited field of fire and likely a limited range. The sentry gun would be able to kill any player, regardless of the team. When the sentry gun is activated, a beeping noise can be heard before it fires. The ducks can see when and where a sentry gun is deployed on their mini map. The other players would only be able to see the sentry gun when they encounter it. If the sentry gun isn't activated, the other players can disassemble or destroy it by approaching it and using their repair button.

This would fall under the same problems as the trapper duck. The (current) maps are not designed around deployables.

Half-joking Role idea (inspired by the Engineer joke in #šŸ’¬ļø±general )
The Parrot
(Neutral)
You can use every geeseā€™s powers. You win if youā€™re the last bird alive.
Falcon clone, but it can pull up a menu which contains every single goose role. They can use the abilities of each of them once.
It canā€™t kill, unless it equips the Sherf ability

Notes:
BW vision acts on a timer
Sherf is the only exception: it can be used an unlimited number of times and doesnā€™t kill the user if they kill a goose.
Vigi and Mimic are unavailable.
Engineer is split into itā€™s to OG jobs: technician and mechanic/snoop.
Passive abilities (like Gravy and Tech) are considered used once triggered.

Thereā€™s probably no way this would work but itā€™d be really fun dodo

Once you set a player on fire, this one has to find a water bucket that will appear somewhere in the map.

If the player on fire does not find the bucket in 15 seconds, the player will die.

Notes: Fire does not appear instantly, it'll appear within 5-15 seconds after the duck uses the ability.

What if there was a Teacher role where the teacher has a ability to give all the ducks homework and if they do one homework question in 2-3 minutes they do not die but if they do not do the one homework question in 2-3 minutes they die but the ability cooldown is 2 minutes and 30 seconds but I think this does violate a rule

# viral dove If anything, this should be a duck role punishing non-ducks.

Here's an idea...

%Role:

Name: Amnesia
Team: Ducks
Win Conditions: Win with Ducks

Information: The Amnesia duck can select one player per round. This selected player will be struck with Amnesia and wouldn't be able to remember where their tasks are for the remainder of that round. Any tasks in the list would show as question marks and any markers on the map showing tasks would no longer show up. After the Amnesia ability is used, the Amnesia duck can vent as normal.

When another player is struck with Amnesia, a question mark will be shown next to their name during the next round of voting. The selected player will be notified they've been struck with amnesia and a question mark would be by their name for the remainder of the round. Only the selected player and ducks can see who's been struck with Amnesia. This ability can be used against any other players, including fellow ducks. It could really screw up a Dueling Dodo if they're selected during the round.

The ability likely wouldn't take effect until 5 to 10 seconds after the target player is selected. Giving the Amnesia duck a window to get away.

whole widget
#

Another idea I had in mind, is a Punisher duck.

It can select someone every 20-30 seconds by touching them, with a delayed effect like Demo. The affected player has to finish 3-4 specific tasks in a certain amount of time. These tasks do not count for the task total, and as such, do not help the geese in general.

If the affected individual fails to do these tasks in time, an animation will be shown where they grasp their head in pain, which eventually explodes afterwards.

If a meeting is called during this, the counter will be on a standstill like having a Demo bomb.

This role cannot vent, and can kill like normal.

next badger
toxic cloud
#

Imagine being the punisher duck and you get to select which tasks the victim player would have to do. Tasks that are longer in nature or more than one step would really screw them over.

whole widget
#

Well, I never said the Punisher gets to select them. I imagined the ability would randomly select some specific ones. The ability could also just be limited to forcing smaller tasks upon the victim.

viral dove
# toxic cloud Here's an idea... %Role: Name: Amnesia Team: Ducks Win Conditions: Win with Du...

Considering that tasks are meant to be a sort of timer for ducks to kill, and rounds can be quite long sometimes, that could cause the game to grind to a halt for that player. Instead, maybe there's a time tied to the amnesia, and the victim would recover after say a minute. Also, this ability is quite similar to the Communications sabotage on space maps, except without the inability to talk.

buoyant crow
#

I have always liked the idea of tasks stalling players.
Not enough to cause the game to take a long time, but enough to give the ducks extra time to plan / split the geese up / prevent a task victory

#

Many games I've been unable to do my duckly tasks because either I find nobody for several minutes or when I do find somebody they're not alone so I can't do anything anyway

Could be handy for the ducks too, pretend you've suddenly got to go do tasks because you've been (punished?)

%role Duckling(Duck): Your cooldown is much shorter but you need to wound your targets before being able to kill them. Wounding a player replaces your kill button, putting a blood drop icon next to their name for you and notifies the victim at the next meeting. When standing near an already wounded player, it transforms into a normal kill button. While needing some set up for each kill the duckling can coordinate with its teammates to leave a few wounded players so the duckling can kill in fast succession.
Donā€™t know if this counts as a kill not killing, but I just thought the idea of a baby duck running around with a plastic knife was a funny idea.

# sonic prism %role Duckling(Duck): Your cooldown is much shorter but you need to wound your t...

This works well, but it seems just like an SK alternative, which is not bad, but itā€™s suggested to not have too many similar roles with very similar abilities to make one or the other role obsolete as a result. With SK and Duckling in the same game, a duck kill win is more likely to happen. Just use this suggestion as future reference though, I can see this being in a different map where itā€™s the ducks home land or something like that and the SK is switched with Duckling. Overall though, the Duckling can work.

visual juniper
#

This role can 100% work in my eyes: itā€™s fun, not too OP, and doesnā€™t overwhelmingly change the game.

sonic prism
#

I feel like that the main problem would be how much the cooldown should be reduced. I was thinking around a little more than half but itā€™s hard to say because the only cooldown reduction weā€™ve seen so far is the SK.

Dueling duck ( duck) not like dueling dodo this are in a team the a pair of duck that work together there ability is abducted they lower a player to a vent that how they kill

#

With Duckling, is it not possible to kill a goose the same round it's wounded? How long after being wounded until someone can be killed? If it's too long, the duckling might be too slow, especially if they are the only/last duck.

Eurasian Tree Sparrow
Team: Neutral
Function: Eurasian Tree Sparrow is a role that only appears in ancient sand
When you touch a locust, you rather eat it up and your satiety score, which will be described later, goes up by one point. Also, even if you complete a fake mission on the farm, your satiety score will go up by one point. The satiety score can be exercised by one more vote per point before the meeting time (this is not disclosed to the person, and the pre-exercised vote will not be invalid even if he dies before the meeting begins or during the meeting due to the shooting of the assassin duck)
(In addition, the satiety score is always updated to you, but other players can only check the satiety score of the sparrow when the meeting is held.) Eurasian tree sparrow can use forbidden passageways, and if falcon and birds who use forbidden passageways are all eliminated(except himself/herself), he/she will win. (In other words, geese, or ducks, or even lovers, cannot win in a way that is not a mission accomplishment and sabotage timeout as long as the Eurasian tree sparrow is alive). However, when a Eurasian tree sparrow is infected by a pigeon, it immediately appears that he is killed, and immediately the pigeon automatically self-reports the body of the Eurasian tree sparrow.
(The sentence is translated into a translator, so the grammar and context are not good. I'm sorry.)

An interesting idea... except what does the satiety score do? I would think the Sparrow (shortened for the sake of convenience) would be wanting to fill that up to win rather than outlast the killers which, I will note, is identical to the goose-win condition, so that's bad. Also, if there's no warlock, and thus no locust sabotage, I think filling up satiety becomes much harder. I like the idea, but I'm not sure how to improve it.

This is a bit of a grey area what that is concerned. It does effectively stop the Pelican's ability though, which I think still isn't allowed.

# viral dove What would marking a player do, though?

It would tell people that they killed or ate that Goose. Kind of a spin on Canadian and Celebrity.

Maybe something like

Glitter Goose

"If you are killed/swallowed by someone, they will be covered in glitter for 5 seconds."

#

So if you're in an area with little to no people, it really won't affect the killer at all

Call me biased, but I don't think pelican is so strong that it needs to be countered this hard.

Agreed here, maybe a tiny counter actually

tender kiln
#

I think the only sole-counter role that has worked was Professional, which is also just fun to play, and you have unique killings opportunities as well.

calm hare
#

i think that's mostly because the professional does more than just counter one specific role, having bodies being hidden and auto reporting is useful in multiple ways

tender kiln

But, correct me if I'm wrong, the idea started with wanting a counter to the Canadian.

calm hare
#

I can't answer that one for sure

whole widget
#

Glitter Goose in this instance would counter several killing roles

I really like the sound of that, and it can only confirm itself through death, so that works. Some killing roles wouldn't care about the glitter anyway, like ID thief, morphling, possibly invis.

It's already hard enough for a mortician to find a dead body without colluding with a killer, so I don't think we need a role that gives them misleading information.

drifting light

Also it is prefered to not make your role a straight hard counter to a specific role, for multiple reasons

#

It is okay if your role's power ends up countering another role, if it still actually has a power. Forger here is literally a basic duck with no power if mort and canadian aren't in the game

#

And I do agree with Rognik that Mortician doesn't really need a role that makes its job harder.

yeah most of the time Mortician isn't in time to check bodies already, unless they have a good group of geese respecting it

The change to lovers has been suggested before, but the devs like having people try to find their lover. If you don't, you can always turn off random spawn points so that everyone starts in the same place and you know who the other lover is.

#

Also, while both the bodyguard and the hitman know who the VIP is, if you're not paying attention during spawn, you only learn by finding them on the map.

**We donā€™t really want to create additional vulnerabilities to the lights sabotage ** The lights sabotage is actually a pretty great thing in terms of what it adds to the game. It lets ducks kill in the dark, it causes people to split up, it gives opportunities for ducks to change areas discreetly, it allows them to unlock sabotages discreetly, and more! So overall I wouldnā€™t want to create non-duck roles that can see in the dark because the lights sabotage is a great low skill floor high skill ceiling ability. New players that are inexperienced and would have difficulty finding opportune moments to kill have an outlet. Experienced players can use it that way too, but have the additional advantage of using it to do more interesting things as well.

Fun idea, been suggested a few times, but winning because someone randomly died isn't so fun. It can already be hard to get the ducks to kill; punishing ducks for doing what they're supposed to do is even worse.

Also, as a general rule, neutral roles usually have something to do with the bird they are named after, falcons hunt, pelicans eat, dodos are exctinct, etc

well the biggest problem with a TTT jester style role is that it punishes the ducks/falcon for doing their job and trying to win the game. There is also no counter for it

from Swiftiefan:
What about a peacock that can blend in with its surroundings (possible invis while standing still?) but can kill. If they kill a goose they lose their ability to camouflage For a little bit. If they kill all the ducks and falcon/peli they win though they donā€™t know whoā€™s what as per usual for any role they still have cool-down per kill.
My thoughts: no ducks and no Peli/falcon means geese win (alternate take, ALL meaning if even 1 is voted out or sheriff/vigi killed they can't win anymore), but his general idea here is to have a neutral that is actually helping in goal for once instead of inciting chaos only so instead like a vulture, scaling amount maybe, a sheriff with a quota if you will. 3duck/neutral? needs 4 of those kills out of 6. Don't know at the moment how it would scale DOWN in say a 1 duck 1 neutral scenario? guess only needs 1 or can't be enabled on 1 duck 1 neutral since it would be the neutral hunting the duck.
As is the norm, risks and rewards to keep it alive, it kills the last duck needed, geese won't win, equally, the ducks don't like keeping vulture alive though it hides bodies because it can win. It seems helpful at first but quickly turns liability. (which is why I liked the idea) I also like the kill pressure this places on ducks in slower games as most neutrals fulfill a balancing mechanic. (pigeon discourages grouping, vulture means you WANT TO report bodies, dodo discourages random gag votes)

whole widget
#

How would you avoid the geese from winning if the ducks and Peli/falcon are killed, though?

proven tulip
#

it would be who killed it, have to be the Peacock itself getting the kill, similar to how a cannibal eating a body won't help vulture as it was described to me

whole widget
#

So if a Peacock kills the last duck or the Peli/falcon as the last 'non geese' killing role, they win?

viral dove
#

I would think the barrier would be something similar to how falcon blocks wins short of task wins or sabotage wins. What those limits are, I'm not sure

proven tulip
#

to clarify the above, neutral roles aren't made to be easy, they are made to shake things up and cause and chaos
Either ALL of the ducks would have to be hit by it, or a point system like vulture, not the last one in particular
up to 4 targets all required by same killer is rather difficult, or even include falcon, but equal to amount of ducks, if they don't get all their targets they don't win

whole widget
#

Sounds very difficult to find and kill all the ducks though.

You won't be able to win by killing all the ducks as Peacock, if someone else kills one of them first or they get voted out. It probably wouldn't work out most of the time.

Perhaps some kind of point system could work, yeah. But I'm not sure which one.

slender hatch
proven tulip
#

you are exactly right, it won't work most of the time, but most games don't end in pigeon sneezes nor dodo votes, by design I think this is ok

even the falcon I believe... wins by design less than ducks, it can die to vigi, sheriff, the ducks themselves.. and has no other team mates, Neutral life is hard but that's part of the fun/challenge

Pigeon and Dodo can win in the game at any time, though. By sneezing on everyone or being suspicious enough to get voted out. (or just a bad lobby instavoting Dodo) In these two cases, they can still win at any point regardless of who's still alive.

In this case, it seems to be heavily luck based. I'm not saying it's impossible to kill all the ducks, but the chance is very minimal.

It's acceptable, sure. But I think a lot of people wouldn't wanna play that role, as there are too many factors that can ruin it's win condition.

Like sheriffs and vigi's shooting ducks, Pelican or Falcon killing them, people voting them out, etc. They basicly lose the chance to win if a single duck dies.

I see the point in that, there are several bodies to go through before a vulture hits the no longer has a chance state even, its probably more likely a role inspiration idea then; more than a fully fleshed out one. šŸ¤” I passed it on, also Peacocks are more known to be Gaudy and multicolored than to be chameleons. different color plumage could suggest more like a color change more akin to the morphling or ID thief... so the name would maybe even need work to go with the original concept.

%role Cuckoo Bird (neutral): Wins by stealing identities from corpses. Similar to the vulture but instead of removing bodies it swaps identities with the corpse. Unlike the ID thief taking an identity is permanent so you may not want to be in a single body for too long before other players become suspicious.

@gritty thistle Losing control of your character isn't fun, and players on mobile are more likely to think their game has glitched.

Another way to kill during meetings could be interesting, but one that carries over from the round would feel unfair. Once a meeting starts, you're locked in for a set amount of time. There's a reason bombs are temporarily disabled sitting meeting and are essentially reset (although it takes 7 seconds to get back to the map).

buoyant crow
sonic prism
# buoyant crow This seems like ID thief with extra steps

Well yes it was inspired by the ID thief being combined with the vulture as a vulture variant. The added condition of stealing other playerā€™s bodies gives the role some protection from being detected but you can still be caught by other players, especially because it doesnā€™t reset in meetings. But itā€™s win con is pretty much the same as the vulture, just with a different ability.

Ah a vulture variation. That could be fun

Based on what I said in another tab, the following two roles come to mind.
Juggling ducks: get a chance to throw a flying knife by completing a small number of tasks
(The act of doing the quest up front helps the duck to be a good guy identity, and also avoids having to do the quest with the good guys later on when there is only one duck left in order to hide his identity)
Goose: the ability to catch a flying knife by completing tasks

To be honest, both of these characters were conceived as a basis for forcing the good guys to do the tasks. This is because the importance of tasks is often overlooked in the current playthrough, especially later in the game when everyone is obsessed with deduction. Tasks become an optional thing in such a scenario.inspector

Muscovy duck (Duck obiviously)

Since this breed is really silent and doesnt want to drag attention to itself, it has a special ability that can be used on bodies. (50 sec cd)
If the body is not eaten/inspected by mortician or reported, the affected bodies will appear as alive to the geese in the next meeting.
Ducks will have it clearly stated that the body is hidden.

(Lovers' bodies do not affect the ability, these are not connected in any way.)

#

Twins (Goose)

The twins have a strong connection with one another, so powerful that they know if the other is living or not.

If one of the twins dies, the remaining twin Goose gets a notification and an arrow pointing towards the corpse of his dead twin. Naturally, this goes away when a body gets reported or a meeting gets called, since the dead twin's body would vanish too. Professional and Pelican would also negate this effect, naturally.

This could potentially allow the surviving twin to find an evil killing role, but they could end up looking sus for being near the body. A much weaker version of Canadian and Celebrity, in a way.

I'm just sitting here, thinking about possible roles to suggest because I like to think but I came up with the Blackmailer duck, it could be renamed if the name doesn't make sense.

The Blackmailer Duck can force one player to vote with them in meetings.

#

But they have to mark them in the round, like the Silencer Duck

#

The marked player can talk to everyone but, for example, if the Blackmailer Duck votes skip then the marked player votes skip with them.

#

It would be like the detective, weaker in the beginning of a game but stronger by the end

#

I also had an idea just for the meme of "going ghost". The Phantom, a player whose goal is to survive to the final 2 but cannot kill or affect the number of bodies reportable. They can turn invisible like the Invisibility duck though but they can be killed when invisible like how the invisibility duck kills others while invisible.

#

I think if a falcon and a phantom are final 2 then the Phantom loses his invisibility and just tries to outrun the falcon but if he survived through the falcons timer the phantom wins

#

A Blackmailer Duck should probably not be in the same game as a Silencer Duck

Don't worry, I read the document before typing. The Phantom was added because I thought someone might come up with a better.

%role Brute(Duck): You can leave corpses unidentifyable. Smashing a body covers it in blood and hiding its color to the reporter and the rest players in a meeting. The mortician can still investigate bloody corpses to learn their identity and role. Because you can smash any body, you can also help your teammates cover their tracks with less power than the cannibal or undertaker but more consistently able to cause some disruption.

lover rework(the host can change it to the old lovers if they want)

Same goes with lovers but if the lover died, the other wonā€™t die and nothin happens, BUT once the meeting is called you will be able to kill and get a heartbroken victory if you are the last person standing

Lover goose: you will be a neutral killing role and no longer win with geese

Lover duck: you will no longer win with ducksā€¦but you can sabotage but unable to vent

Sure itā€™s a team changing thingā€¦sounds like a hard pass dodo

#

Why do you want this role? I just ainā€™t much of a loverā€¦why? It just hiding and something like that and itā€™s boringā€¦nothing you can do but hide while your lover duck is doing his job so I just wanted to make this to spice a little bit

Does it have some balance? Maybe if you are a goose, but technically no if you are a duck since now you are betraying your ducks and you wonā€™t be able to help them neither they help you

How does this have a meta?: so in this scenario: you can act as a heartbroken duck that there is a falcon/pelican and that makes ducks know there is so you just skip(ducks sees your name red regardless of who you are) but the ducks might find out soon there is no geese left and only ducks so now the ducks must find out who is the traitor amongst them

If you guess wrong, you will die again; However, because your hearing system was not well developed before your death, the language you heard was very strange.

There's already a character in Mafia that can talk with the dead. It also brings more engagement to dead people as opposed to them just idling and getting bored.

Mastermind (duck)
ā€œYou can guess playersā€™ roles during meetings. Youā€™re told if those guesses are right or wrong.ā€
(Can either be by itself, or as a spy replacement)

In a meeting, they can attempt to guess the role of other players. (Works similarly to assassin)
If they get a guess wrong, a disapproving noise is played and that role is crossed off for that player for future guesses.
If they get it right, theyā€™ll hear a chime as their role is revealed to the Mastermind for the rest of the game.
The mastermind gets 1 guess every meeting.

You're not really swapping roles or changing roles. It is just like the abilities of that role will be given to you. You still have the actor role on your screen. Just like Dueling Dodos having a kill button after finishing their tasks.

he s a goose. when he gets killed he can run around without his head for like 10 seconds but can t talk (cuz obviously he don t have his head)

#

cuz it would be cool to see some running bodies trying to make you understand who killed them

#

oh and after those 10-20 seconds without head he dies

#

and he can t get killed while he already lost his head

I'm pretty sure this still breaks the "no communication between the living and dead" rule.

When he gets killed, the chicken's decapitated body run around in a random direction for 10 or 15 seconds before dying.

It's weird, but the good kind of weird. I like it.

sonic prism
#

Sounds a little more harmful than helpful. If you see it running around, you know its fresh which is itā€™s best upside in my eyes, but when it drops, it could be in a completely different spot. Also it could completely backfire if it drops itself into a forbidden passage or the furnace.

wise shore
#

Best case scenario imo is 2-3 seconds of controlled movement while muted (headless after all), and then it plops to the ground. 10 seconds is way too much even if uncontrolled.

Meta value though, hmm... seems like it'd make "drive-by assassinations" harder since the corpse possibly follows the killer enough to alert someone. Doesn't sound like something strong enough to need a counter like this imo.

It would be strong against: Professional (delays the body being hidden), Undertaker (can't drag it)
Weak against: Invisibility (can't follow what you can't see), Demolitionist (for obvious reasons)

sonic prism
#

Going full speed may be too strong but 3 seconds is basically nothing.

wise shore
#

True, true. My real complaint though is that roles that are only useful in their death (e.g, Canadian, Celebrity) aren't fun and we don't really need more of them lmao.
It's a fun idea to think around I admit.

#

Maybe something like 6 seconds

#

Enough to run into someone, not enough to tell people who killed them

#

And probably slowed down, too. Otherwise, they could just follow their killer real close until they fall over

Yeah 5 or 6 seconds being slowed seems ok I think

I have an idea.
Goose Spy.
It doesn't work like the duck spy instead it can see when the lights go out and hear when the ducks do that mind reading Sabotage where they can talk to each other.
Or this could just be an upgrade to mimic

weary wraith
# wise shore Maybe as a Lovers rework? Hmm...

+. Now this role gives only restrictions not abilities, that don't fit into the general trend when roles gives abilities to the players. My suggestion is to give lovers some defend like they can't be killed while they are nearby. And as an additional problem, lovers can be easily identified by an assassin.

wise shore
#

I've thought about that too, but I think it would make them invulnerable. Plus, the Gravy Goose technically has the "can't be killed unless alone" thing already.

minor finchBOT
#

**We donā€™t really want to create additional vulnerabilities to the lights sabotage ** The lights sabotage is actually a pretty great thing in terms of what it adds to the game. It lets ducks kill in the dark, it causes people to split up, it gives opportunities for ducks to change areas discreetly, it allows them to unlock sabotages discreetly, and more! So overall I wouldnā€™t want to create non-duck roles that can see in the dark because the lights sabotage is a great low skill floor high skill ceiling ability. New players that are inexperienced and would have difficulty finding opportune moments to kill have an outlet. Experienced players can use it that way too, but have the additional advantage of using it to do more interesting things as well.

viral dove
#

Reading about the "chicken goose" role actually gave me an idea for a duck version of it.
Butcher Duck (alternately, Peking Duck since food-based): After killing, the corpse will run away for [1-3] seconds. Headless bodies lose all cosmetics to better identify the corpse (and easier to animate). A running body can be reported while moving but cannot be morticianed until the body falls over.

The Chicken

The Chicken is a Neutral that is colour blind but it can kill like the falcon. The kill Button is 10 to 15 seconds long with the Ability that can see who voted who but if they are near or in a group too long they will die. To win they have to stay away from everyone and be the last one standing to win. When they are near someone for too long there will be red on the screen indicating to run away but they can vent.

Role idea:
Role : Soulmate
Team: Goose

This role can select a bird to be their soulmate at any point as the game progresses but can only pick once. They don't have to be together throughout the game as the pairing remains active as long as they're both alive. If either of the soulmates is killed, a cooldown of maybe 10-15 secs starts to the destruction of the bond. Kicker is, if a body is reported or meeting is called before the countdown ends, the living soulmate can see where their partner was killed on the minimap. The living soulmate doesn't die after their partner is killed but they lead a goose win if they remain alive by the end of the game.

#

Another idea (off the top of my head, haven't thought this one through very well)...

Role: Joker
Team: Duck

This role is essentially a killer role, but, unpredictable. The kill button can shuffle through either modes of killing i.e. professional, plain slicing or demo... Okay, the second part to this I just realized wouldn't work according to the role guidelines, need more time to think about it.

the role is half-baked but i think it could be cool

minor finchBOT
#

**Have you guys considered a type of trapper duck? ** We have! It's been suggested several times. The idea could work, but as it currently stands, the role would be difficult to pull off in our existing maps. Having not been made with this in mind , the hallways and spaces in the existing maps are a bit tight, allowing for these traps to zone out entire areas. Consider the bridge leading to comms in SS Goose, or the teleporter in Nexus colony, for example.

worldly kraken
#

ah i see

#

i didn't think of that

worldly kraken
#

or the role can kill with an extended timer and they can trap a body

#

or you could just make it so when a trap is triggered the person has to do a minigame/task of some sort which makes it so the trap doesn't always kill

#

or the trap has a 50/50 chance to kill

Technically, the warlock fits the trapper archetype

I feel like kill traps or invisible traps are probably the worst way they could be designed.

#

I have a role idea:
Crow (neutral)
Wins by getting killed, but not by getting voted out or getting swallowed by a pelican. When a duck finishes a task, it'll be able to see who the crow is for a short period of time (an arrow will appear showing the crow's location). Geese (vigilante, sheriff and avenger) and a falcon can't find the crow by doing tasks. The crow can't be killed by an assassin during a meeting.

fervent pasture
#

Nah, itā€™s not gonna make the game fun. It will most likely always end up with a crow win

wise shore
#

I love crows. I think there is a bit too much going on there though.

#

I wonder how many possible Neutral Role win conditions remain that haven't been done, and also are simple enough to add into the game šŸ¤”

#

One possible idea is removing the Duelling Dodo neutral, and instead reworking it to be ---

Crow (Neutral): After completing your fake tasks, you gain the ability to kill the Gravy Goose. Win by being voted out after the Gravy Goose is dead.

So the Dodo can stay as it is, and the Crow exists only as a rare neutral in games that also have a Gravy. (Gravy because crows love shiny objects and coins)

One problem with my idea is that there is no legitimate downside to announcing you are Gravy Goose to people (aside from Assassins), unlike Dodo where no one is likely to suspect you are Dodo. So the counterplay to Crow would be the Gravy being loud about his role... maybe not fun to experience.

sonic prism
#

It doesnā€™t seem fair for the geese because if the crow kills the gravy and thereā€™s nothing the geese can do about it without a sheriff or vigilante as voting it out means the geese lose.

wise shore
#

Right, that's precisely why a lot of people don't like Duelling Dodo, which does the same thing as I am suggesting

sonic prism
#

If a dodo gets killed it doesnā€™t matter to the geese, they can just ignore the other dodo but the crow directly messes with the geese.

wise shore
#

Ahhh I see what you're saying, yeah. Stacks the odds in favor of Ducks.

Role: Pharaoh Duck
Role in map exclusive : Ancient Sand

Ability: Kill
Standard duck ability.

Special Ability: Pharaoh Touch
Cooldown : Slightly longer than Pigeon cooldown.
Only Effective when Mummy Sabo in active

Pros:

  • Tag goose/neutral to allow mummy to kill them in highest priority
  • When mummy in active whenever someone getting tag by Pharaoh duck. The mummy will have slightly faster movement speed than normal goose.
  • Tagged goose/neutral can't call the meeting.
  • Can tag on Multiple goose/neutral but the mummy will chase in order. if tagged goose/neutral die in one of the target sequences. The mummy will skip to next target or return to normal mummy behaviour when there aren't any tag remaining.

Cons:

  • Tag reset each time meeting is called.
  • Pharaoh Duck can only use mummy sabotage.
  • Adventure goose is immune toward tag effect.

#

What about a trapper who doesn't kill players, but just slows them down instead, and marks their location temporarily for the trapper when they trigger a trap? Downside is the duck can't use clairvoyance on maps that allow it

#

Also you can't vent or hide

fast umbra
#

A mad scientist role, they would have to do special tasks and they would have a 60 percent chance of working and a 40 percent chance of failure, if a task works, they would get different viruses to infect geese with, kinda like the pigeon, there would be different viruses such as one that marks the infected geese for ducks, one that kills immediately, one that has the silencer affect, etc... if a task fails, there would be different ways it could go wrong, it could make the scientist slow for a while, unable to do the tasks, low vision, marked for ducks, etc... I think it would be more of a neutral role, it can infect ducks and geese, depending on how the player wants to play the role, I think you would win if you're the last one left.

#

Can also be killed by ducks

viral dove
wise shore
#

On-death win condition after completing objectives is an interesting thought exercise. It would push Ducks to kill task-completing players faster in the early game (to try eliminating Crow early) and would push people to vote out Gravy killers rather than Sheriff/Vigi/Avenger them. Actually, speaking of Avenger, that role would suffer the most from this concept since avenging the Gravy becomes a loss condition. Hmm.

#

Punishing players for killing probably won't end well though, no matter how you set it up šŸ¤”

viral dove
#

I suppose you're right, unless circumstances are very specific.

Here's a weird idea: what if the crow could steal the bounty from the gravy, and dying while holding it is the win condition? Ducks would be able to see the sack get passed, so they really need to pay attention there (or give the Spy more utility), and non-duck killers will be more cautious because of it.

wise shore
#

Almost like you're pickpocketing the Gravy, haha. Actually, a pickpocket sort of Role could be fun on a map (or gamemode) that has collecting stuff as a mechanic. Not sure how that would exist/play out, but I like the concept.

viral dove
#

There's definitely potential for a pickpocket style role that should be workshopped later. The role as I proposed, though, is far too dependent on another role for a win condition. However, I do have one last idea that just might work.

#

Role: Raven
Win condition: die after cursing half (+1) the living lobby, or curse the entire lobby.
Details: cursing would be similar to sneezing from pigeon; resets each round, cooldown based on lobby size, etc. It being half the lobby sets a standard for how to win while still giving a chance to kill them early. Ideally, I want the role to make ducks kill faster, and the second win condition is just a backup in case killers decide not to kill at all.
It does add that middle ground pressure between leaving a body to investigate but too long and you might lose, but I'm not sure how to fix that, or if it needs fixing.

Traps are a tricky thing. It can't be like a land mine, as that would cut off whole sections of certain maps where a task could spawn. If it's more of an ability that traps someone, that's different, but as Rogue said, how to use it without the trapped one immediately outing the duck? It could be an ability similar to demolitionist, where after a delay they get caught wherever they are in a web and someone else needs to free them.

Role : Crow
Group : Neutral

Ability: Snatch/Steal/Pickpocket
Action Time : 2 seconds (Temporarily can't move during this action same like mortician)
Cooldown : Pigeon CD
(For convenience, There will be bag of silver icon beside their name to indicate that player can be steal.)
Cooldown per target : 20 seconds
(You can't steal same person at short time, however you can steal from the corpse once per person.)

Steal bounty to win the game.

  • Each time you steal a non-killing role get +1 silver bonus. (Low risk)
  • Each time you steal a killing role get +2 silver bonus. (Risk for getting you killed)
  • Each time you steal from a dead body +3 silver bonus. (Risk for suspecting you and may voted you out)

Task : Unlock Exit/Gate
Unlock Task: Once you stole enough silver. The task will be available.
Action Time : 5 seconds
(You can't move while doing this, Everyone will be alerted once you start doing the task).
You've escaped.

Win Condition: Accumulate the stolen silver 10/20/30 at specific amount (depend of the size lobby) and escape at the exit to win. The duck can prevent the win by doing the sabotage.
(The exit will spawn randomly throughout the map but you the only person who can see it.)

Pros:

  • Gain extra Silver.
  • Easy for beginner to play this role.
  • Does not leave trace during steal action.
  • Potentially can identify the killing role.
    (If you only manage to steal 1 person before meeting call. You may figure that person role.)
    (You better stay away if it were a killing role.)

Cons:

  • You will only know the amount silver you stole during meeting [ N / Max N ]
  • Each meeting called the person you stole his bounty will get alerted.
    (It won't display how many time(s) he got rob in that round.)
  • You can't steal on Gravy goose.
  • You lost the stolen silver to the killer. if you got killed by the killing role.
    (Dying by chandelier or fall into the pit doesn't give your loot to the duck)

I like it but it could identify killers if it sees it earns extra silver. I do like the idea of a pickpocketer but it might just be better as a role on its own map because it could be built around having an escape gate.

I had a dream, where there was a Decoy Duck. It could play dead, and is unreportable, but when someone runs up to report it, can jump up and kill them instead! Also, had a thought of a Bloodhound Goose, when a duck does a sabotage, this goose can "sniff them out", they get an arrow pointing to the duck, and can only kill that duck, if the duck doesn't kill them first. Just two role ideas I thought I'd share šŸ™‚

Role: Possum
Group: Survival
Ability: Play Dead
Has the cool down time as vigilante
Point of possum geese is to well play dead. Helps to avoid or confuse killer ducks. When the ability is used the body can be reported like normal. The geese will be dead during meeting like normal. But after the meeting to next round will be alive. If no one reports the body and a meeting is called same rule above applies.
Pro: Can revive yourself only once after cool down time has ran out.
Con: you can use this ability once. Will die if cannibal or vulture eats you.

Role: Bird of Paradise
Group: Neutral
Ability: You're colorblind and deaf outside of meetings. Guess your killer at the first meeting after your death to win.
(Can only spectate as normal after the meeting; can't win if killed by environment)

Pros:

  • Unique gameplay
  • Players will be encouraged to trade info with others more to figure out who's the bird of paradise
  • Sometimes players will need to spread misinformation about a murder to avoid Bird of Paradise winning, and hence those spreading misinfo will have a backup bluff
  • Very silly pun on its name

Cons:

  • It will be like a single-player puzzle game to the player since they basically can't communicate with others until they die and their guess is fired

I'd see it less of a problem with random spawns on, so that players won't gather as easily. And also being identified as the BoP might not be a bad thing for ducks and neutrals, or even some geese, so pretending to be one might be a valid strategy.

But I'm aware that it's a bit too unique of a gameplay and problems will surely rise, so this is ultimately just a thought exercise based on the silly "bird of paradise" pun dodo

Role:referee
Group:goose
Skill:just once during the meeting,"Everyone be quiet!"A sound comes out and blocks everyone's mouth.you can only talk to your self for a certain period of time and let everyone know your role
+The assassin won't be able to shoot you after you've been identified
Counter:silencer duck,Even if you use your ability when you do silent,it only informs you who you are and everyone becomes silent
If you add it to the game
-A tumultuous meeting is focused on the referee
-You can be a target of duck and neutral and provoke

The translation may be strange(I don't know English very well!)

Roles that can easily be confirmed are not good. Plus, silencing everyone benefits the ducks more than the geese, since the more information the geese can share, the easier it is to track down the ducks.

%Role

Name: Chicken
Team: Neutrals
Win Condition: Survive until the end and collect chicken feed to determine a coin bonus at the end of the game.

Information: Like the Party Goose, the Chicken has an ability to affect the players during meetings. A selected player would wind up having a modified and low volume version of the Chicken Dance song playing in the background when they attempted to speak. If this isn't able to happen due to copyright issues...

Alternate Role Information:

The Chicken would be required to collect enough chicken feed during the game in order to win. Completing tasks, while alive, would result in two pieces of chicken feed being collected and pecking players would collect one piece of chicken feed. The more chicken feed the Chicken collects, the bonus they receive would be larger. Killing the Chicken at the end of the game will result in the bonus being collected by that player. The Chicken wouldn't be able to kill, they just have to run around like someone chopped their head off. If a killing role uses the flamethrower or another fire related kill screen animation when killing the Chicken, they get an achievement named "Fried Chicken"

Adjustment to the politician role:
not going to jail is nothing actually. So instead, if a politician has 1 more vote, it will not be killed by vote. Needs 2 or more votes than other goose to be executed. I think this makes politician more valuable and not so op since some roles have more impact than this like sheriff which can kill ducks.

A change to politician has been in the works, or so I've heard

It'd be interesting to have a role that could bribe players with a small bonus for voting out a specific player, even if it was detrimental to the Geese. So I'll try for something...

%Role

Name: Bribe
Team: Ducks

Information: The Bribe Duck has the ability to choose a player to vote out during the game. It's up to the Bribe Duck to convince other players to vote out that player, even if they're a goose. If the chosen player is voted out during one of the meetings, those who voted for them would receive a small bonus (1-3 coins). The Bribe Duck would receive an extra bonus which would grow larger if the chosen player continues to survive meetings. If the chosen player is killed during the game, no bonus will be gained. It'd be up to the Bribe Duck to let their teammate(s) know to not kill that specific player but to vote them out. I'm not sure if should be only limited to one player per game or until the chosen player is killed or voted out. Voting out the chosen player would NOT end the game, it would just increase whatever bonus players received.

The Bribe Duck really needs to choose carefully who they choose. Because if they choose the Dodo, the Dodo would steal the bonus that the Bribe Duck would have received. The Bribe Duck can kill and vent as normal, but can only vent after choosing their target.

Goose Goose duck Rule Ideas:

The Spearman Duck:
Ability: Long distance killing
Makes it harder to know who killed

The Something Duck: (I don't have a name for it)
Ability: can kill while in vents, but has a cooldown on Vents
(Goose/Ducks/Neutrals needs to be close to the vent for the duck to kill them)

The Tracker Goose:
Ability: Can Place a tracker on a person once per game/round
(The tracker shows the person on the map)

The Stun Duck:
Ability: can make someone stand still and not speak for about 10 seconds
(The stun happens kinda like The Demolitionists bombs, after some time)

The Trap Duck:
Ability: Can place traps on Bodies
If you report a body with a trap on it, you will die (The Vulture will also die if it eats the body)

I don't know if these rules have been suggested before, but i just had some ideas that i wanted to share (:

First two: seems too OP
Second: there is a tracker goose already šŸ¤”
The others just donā€™t sound well thought through

drifting light
#

There is a role named tracker already, and the brand new stalker does something very similar to the suggested role's ability, though the stalker's obsession is chosen randomly.

#

Long distance killing with the first suggestion has been suggested before, and I personally think with a few tweeks it could be something that works.

Old esper goose rework to Psychic Goose: Passively delays all sabotages by 10 seconds and gets notified about an incoming sabotage, but during this time the duck that activated the sabotage gets an arrow to the pyschic for the 10 seconds. The engineer only detects the sabotage after the 10 seconds to not confirm the psychic.

#

I tried to address the problems the esper goose had which were the fact it was hard to know if you were doing anything, and how clairvoyance and telepathy were pretty niche already so having an entire role to counter it felt like overkill.

#

Ok so the way it would work is say a duck wants to sabotage. It wonā€™t go through for 10 the seconds and the pyschic gets notified that a sabotage is incoming while the duck gets an arrow to the psychic.

whole widget
#

Oh, alright. So the sabotage gets hard locked and delayed for 10 seconds.

That's pretty strong, but it does reveal the location of the Psychic so it does balance out.

Yeah, that'd be a good rework I think

#

It would certainly give the Psychic more of a presence, and force the ducks to take him out faster

sonic prism
#

Thatā€™s also why the punishment being an arrow instead of a static point on the map is there as it gives the ducks a better chance of catching or at least identifying the psychic.

# fervent pasture I donā€™t get the role(s)

From what I understand:
1st role: Falcon but can only kill roles that can kill. Once all those are gone, you get an arrow pointing to everyone else and can kill them too.
2nd role: after a meeting, you can activate your ability that will let you "play dead" for 8 seconds.
3rd role: if neither you nor your duck teammates kill anyone, you gain a mark. Each mark counts as +1 duck when checking for a duck win. (5 geese vs 3 ducks with 2 marks is a duck win)

#

The 1st role seems a bit limiting to me, I would rather just be falcon. For the 2nd role, playing dead is a common and an interesting suggestion and I think something can come out of it with some work. The 3rd role just seems too powerful for the non-ducks and too boring for the ducks.

Role: Phoenix
Group: Neutrals
Win if:

  1. fire as Phoenix: give {#ducks} players tinder and light them up.
  2. happy reborn to goose and win as them.
  3. avenge reborn to duck who would burn the players you have given flame and win as ducks.

Info: The Phoenix could give tinder to others, and not like the pigeon, tinder won't clear when meeting ends. It will last until the player dies or wins. Meanwhile, the player don't know if he has been given that. When {#ducks} tinders are given to players, Phoenix would burn them and wins as Phoenix.

Die: when Phoenix dies, he will become goose or duck and get burning.

  1. reborn as goose: he now become normal goose.
  2. reborn as duck: with the flame burning, he now could easily burn those birds with tinders so as to KILL them. Just win as ducks do!

Itā€™s alright, just suggest another role that follows the guidelines.

%role ((Trick or Treat)) Trapper: (if you have a better name, please tell me): Monster; traps specific rooms with sabotages and cannot kill normally. The traps in the rooms are tasks that if completed, will kill the villager. The only clue that the task is trapped: is that isnā€™t on the task list. The thralls can kill directly but walk slightly slower in sabotaged rooms. ((Never suggested a role for ToT yet, so thought Iā€™d give it a shot.)

Ohhh I just realised I need to add something to make it more fair

%role (Edited) Trapper (ToT Monster): Can only trap rooms that they are in and cannot kill normally. Theyā€™re trapped rooms contain random fake tasks, which if completed will kill the villager. The trapped tasks will not appear on the villagerā€™s task list. Thralls can kill directly with increased speed in trapped rooms. Trapper can only have 2-3 trapped rooms at the same time.

#

Idea popped in my head and decided to try to make it into a reasonable role.

also, if the trapper can't kill at all, the villagers could just sit there and not do anything and wait for the time to count down

So make it have a way to kill? Maybe it can kill once like vigilante and let that thrall get others.

What if the trapper can trap rooms instead?
making it so players have an X% chance of getting trapped when they go in a certain room

and to balance it, it works kinda like some horror games where they're just stuck and need to get out?

Role : Crow (Alternate version)
Group : Neutral

Task: Pickpocket
Allow crow to pickpocket any bird to obtain silver. You may steal more than 1 silver at the time. This will increase the risk for getting kill or sussed.
Cooldown : 5 seconds

Note: Steal on the corpse, will cause detective goose mark you a devil horn because you left your wingerprint.

In this version, instead standing next to the victim for like 2 second. This time you're doing task around him. Stealing task like slowly taking coin out of pocket. The task will close itself if it went out of range (move away).

Task : Escape plan
**Unlock Task condition: ** Accumulate at least (n) amount of silver for escape plan.

To prevent duck/sheriff/kill role camping on those task spot. The game will generate any possible task that unlock the route escape. The crow must complete the maze task to unlock the route. The escape path also at random area (which of course make sense)

Win Condition: Accumulate the stolen silver 10/20/30 at specific amount (depend of the size lobby) and safely escape without getting killed or voted out.
(The exit will spawn randomly throughout the map but you the only person who can see it.)

Pros:

  • Gain extra Silver.
  • Not so boring ability
  • Fast steal (if you're skillful)
  • You can steal silver coin on Gravy goose at 2 silver per time. ( Gravy advantage )

Cons:

  • You will only know the amount silver you stole during meeting [ N / Max N ]
  • Each meeting called the person you stole his bounty will get alerted.
    (It won't display how many time(s) he got rob in that round.)
  • You lost the stolen silver to the killer. if you got killed by the killing role.
    (Dying by chandelier or fall into the pit doesn't give your loot to the duck)
  • Risk of death or sussed increase ahead time if you standing on that person for very long.
  • Stealing toward corpse will guarantee devil horn indicator if detective goose checking on you (Detective counter)

Pelican update

You know that pelican is so unbalanced, many games which I have played were won by this role. I suggest to add Heartbeat. When Pelican eats someone for some time if any player comes close to him, he will hear a heartbeat, by which he will be able to identify the pelican.

For example, heartbeat duration: 10 secs.

šŸŖ¤Trapper [Goose]
ā­ļø

  • Your killer will not be able to kill until the next round.

  • When you die, your killer will activate your trap and the killer canā€™t kill after that kill until after the next meeting.
    (Achievements)

  • of wins achievement: ā€œGotcha!!!ā€

(Keep in mind)

  • You can still sabotage and vent as Duck when trapped. (Maybe have it to where you canā€™t activate sabos via its task while trapped and/or do tasks at all?)

  • The killing role will know when they have killed the trapper with a visual notification informing this. (Maybe have a visual lock over the kill button?)

  • Abilities that are not the kill button are immune. (Pelican eating, Demo bombing, and Sabotages that can directly kill for example. This can change if needed)

  • I understand negatives for taking away an ability and itā€™s part of the idea rules to not take away abilities as a suggestion, but I do think this can help with having to resist duck kill wins to an extent if kill wins are common in a lobby.

(Possible on all maps)

I would say make sure the duck can still do tasks, but this could definitely work. The duck has counterplay. They could even choose to report the body, which may not be advantageous, but would end the trap.

Nice to see a different approach for a Trapper this time around

Ostrich (neutral)
Wins by being the last one alive.
At the start of the game the ostrich behaves like a regular goose, but it has an invisible shield. When someone tries to kill or swallow it, the shield will break, but the ostrich will stay alive and gain the abilities of the falcon (able to kill and always skips voting). The ostrich will die if someone tries to kill it for the second time. Getting voted out also kills it, even with the shield.

I do still like the more common trapper duck idea of leaving bear traps around, though that's probably better as a map sabotage on a map designed with bear traps like those in mind.

Did you know you can stalk people who use vents. Find somebody who claims otherwise and keep an eye on them

On a completely different point, it could be cool if bodyguard and hitman got arrows to their target so they can be specialized versions of the stalker and SK because there really isnā€™t much point for including them, escpecially for the hitman.

Maybe a once-per-round ability to have an arrow point to the target for bodyguard, and have it always up for hitman

I feel like the current "neither role knows their location" works best.

What if your bodyguard target is a neutral? It gives you too much information knowing where they are, or what they are.

That's fair, not everyone would play bg the same way I do. I'm protecting the target no matter what. If I have to protect a falcon or pelican, then you'd better get doing your tasks

Gravy used to have no real purpose compared to being a regular goose and it got a nice passive ability. I know bodyguard can protect its target at the least but they both feel pretty bad to roll.

#

Hitman especially can feel like a standard duck, I have had several games where hitman just rushes to the target and kills them in front of the entire lobby.

#

And I will admit I have done this myself a couple times by accident

sonic prism
#

I think the hitman is a little better because it can find out who the bodyguard is, but yeah it does fall flat as a role. They feel like modifiers that could be added on rather than full fledged roles.

#

I think bodyguard having a protective passive is good enough, but I think hitman should also get at the very least some sort of passive ability.

Other than relaying to assassin your biggest suspicion of who bg is

Anything for 8 silver

8 silver reward from gravy or hm/bg is the klondike bar of ggd

ā€œProtect/Kill your target for nothingā€ is even more sad

buoyant crow
#

Not for nothing. If bodyguard successfully keeps their target alive (or does nothing and their target miraculously stays alive anyway) they get 8 silver.
If the hitman kills their target, they get 8 silver, which they keep even if they're voted out.

#

But that said, I feel 8 silver is no longer very valuable to many players.
Would it be possible to switch out the silver for a chance at white tokens instead? Like, you get either silver OR tokens (I guess this still encourages farming accounts, but at least it's not too much)

I do agree 8 whites would be much better

I will say I've tried once or twice, if I've found my target before the bodyguard and my cooldown isn't up yet, to bluff that I'm the bodyguard in the hopes that the real bodyguard gets out. It's been a long time since I tried that play, though, so I forget how it went.

Generally best not to create a role solely to counter another. If it happens to counter, that's one thing, but it should be diverse enough to stand on its own.

This would also be a kill stop

Good example of what Rognik is saying is the professional. The professional counters the Canadian, but it actually has a power on its own if Canadian isn't in the game or is already dead.

Gambit (Duck)
Description: When killing, the game flips a coin. This happens instantly. You have a 50% chance of winning (heads, and the kill is successful) and if the other player wins (tails) then they live and will be notified of the flip, but will not be told who flipped the coin.

This challenges the Gambit to kill in groups just in case it lands on tails, because if the victim is alone, they will know who flipped the coin easily. If it is known that there is a gambit in game, players might be inclined to stay alone, because if the Gambit tries to kill them, they have a chance of it landing on tails and then voting the Gambit off. This would also make it more challenging for the Gambit to get people into groups.

drifting light
#

This seems weaker than even a standard duck. I would think that Gambit should kill successfully regardless of the flip, but gets an extra, powerful benefit for landinf heads.

buoyant crow
#

I can see the idea to break up grouping, but it does ultimately only prove to be a weaker duck, especially amongst experienced player

unreal void
#

alright lemme change it

#

Changes: Regardless of the flip, the Gambit kills.
If the gambit lands on tails, chances of Heads drops by 10%.
If it lands on heads, they get a powerful benefit on top of the kill. Their cool-down for the next kill is wiped.

The Gambit could choose to gambit their survival chances and go for a double kill. If itā€™s tails, they wonā€™t be able to kill the second player in time, and would get voted off. If they somehow manage to survive, while landing tails, their position would be difficult with a low chance of Heads.

this would be even more powerful

At least with old medium, you had to ask yourself "is this ghost a duck tricking me", since this is a guarenteed goose talking to the living it isn't even a debate.

#

Good goose role: night seeker, when lights are turned off. Night seeker still has the normal vision when lights are on.

alpine ledgeBOT
#

We donā€™t really want to create additional vulnerabilities to the lights sabotage The lights sabotage is actually a pretty great thing in terms of what it adds to the game. It lets ducks kill in the dark, it causes people to split up, it gives opportunities for ducks to change areas discreetly, it allows them to unlock sabotages discreetly, and more! So overall I wouldnā€™t want to create non-duck roles that can see in the dark because the lights sabotage is a great low skill floor high skill ceiling ability. New players that are inexperienced and would have difficulty finding opportune moments to kill have an outlet. Experienced players can use it that way too, but have the additional advantage of using it to do more interesting things as well.

the ptarmigan bird

The ptarmigan is a neutral that can hide in boxes and drag bodies but can not vent. The ptarmigan can win by dragging bodies in boxes. They can not see like the vulture and they need to run and find the bodies. To win they need to put 2 to 4 bodies in any boxes, closets and barrows. Anyone can report the body that is in there. You can see a Hand poking out or a leg.

**Gambit (Duck)
Description: When the Gambit kills, the game flips a coin (hence the name). This happens instantly. You have a 50% chance of landing Heads. If you land heads, you get a powerful benefit. Your cool-down for the next kill is wiped.
If you land Tails, also 50% chance, the chance of landing Heads drops by 10%.

Theoretically, the Gambit could go for a double kill. If on the first kill, they land Tails, obviously they canā€™t kill the next person, so they would either get caught and voted off, or be spared in hopes of being a good role. If they are spared they would have a sticky situation as they have a lower chance of Heads.
If they landed Heads, they would get a sneaky double kill in because of the cool-down bonus (nice)

Just to mention, the Heads bonus of no cool-down only lasts for the next kill only. If the next kill is heads again, they get the benefit again for the next kill.

Short description (for in game)
When killing, flip a coin for either Heads or Tails. If you land Heads, your kill cool-down is wiped for the next kill. If you land Tails, your chances of landing Heads decreases.**

Reposting because some details of this role was changed by me, so I decided to repost in a new rewritten message

Translation of above

The role can be called, for example, Destructor or Intruder.
The active ability affects missions and has a 30 second cooldown.
The essence of the ability is that the duck "infects" or "poisons" the task, and when the goose performs the "poisoned" task, it dies.```

This idea has a lot of potential. Will probably need to be nerfed/buffed accordingly, but I could see this work

Iā€™ve seen a bunch of trap kills on tasks and while it is a cool idea it would be really cheap to die for seemingly no reason after doing a task.

could be time based like the demolitionist's bomb

like you get the notification and the timer

#

maybe something could hint at a task being poisoned too before the geese do it

but it should be very vague if it's a visual hint

#

and if a meeting is called it cancels it out maybe

It doesnā€™t have to be a kill effect, I think theres a bunch of other ways to go about a role like that

%Role

Name: Monitor
Team: Geese

Information: The Monitor Goose can select a player to monitor. The selected players status would be determined by a heartbeat monitor that would appear on the Monitor's HUD as a mini EKG along side of an image/name of the selected player.

A normal/green heartbeat would appear unless the selected players is killed, which would result in a flatline. An arrow would point to the selected player. If the selected player is eaten by the Pelican, the monitor would turn yellow and the heartbeat would increase, as if under duress.

The arrow would disappear if the dead body is eaten or disposed of. However, it would still show if the selected player is inside the Pelican.

Once the selected players dies, the Monitor Goose can select another player to monitor after the next meeting.

Information: The Scanner Goose has the ability to have the entire or a limited area of the map scanned for players. Players that are alive will appear as solid dots while dead bodies will appear as flashing dots.

Role : Grim/Oracle
Group : Duck

Ability: Death sentences
Use: One at a time.
Cooldown : refresh after victim death/survived

Simply put target uneasy for the death countdown start to trigger.

Spell Effect:
Anyone under these effect will have 10~20 sec to survive until death called. It will trigger randomly after 10-15 seconds

Reversal effect:
While under death sentence, this spell can be lifted after doing 1-2 task.

If meeting were called. death sentences add few extra seconds , the countdown still active while meeting so the meeting has to end quickly as possible in order to survive. If the countdown end during the meeting. The target will die.

Pro:

  • Silent killer
  • Meeting will be short due panic.
  • Anti-grouping

Cons:

  • No guarantee kill.
  • Delayed kill.
  • Risk at the late game.

%role Devourer(Duck): Can charge its kill cooldown to replace it with swallowing.
This ā€œchargeā€ happens in the background while a normal kill is already ready and is significantly longer than a normal kill. When finished it upgrades to a swallow that functions just like the pelican, and goes back to a normal kill cooldown after use. While killing with no evidence is very strong, especially in a duck role, having to charge this up for a significantly longer time balances it out as you are missing out kills by waiting. Effectively the devourer is about quality, not quantity cannibal

Role: Artist
Group: Goose

Ability: Once per game, you can graffiti on a wall. Only geese can understand your art.

Explanation: The Artist starts with a special task that directs them to a wall. The special task is them picking words, objects and emojis to add to their inspiration. By doing the special task, they can create a piece of art with one out of several descriptions based on the things they chose (i.e. A Haunting Sight, A Simple Joy, .etc.). If they picked contradicting inspirations it'll result in A Confusing Doodle instead.

After the graffiti is done, every goose who pass by can stop and interact with it and learn the intended meaning of the art. Ducks and Other Species can also interact with the graffiti (so that they know it's there) but they won't be able to see their meaning.

Pros:

  • Ability to potentially identify ducks and other species, much like the influencer.
  • More interactive than the influencer, and also the goose itself is more involved.
  • Fun to play. Conversation starter.
  • Possibility of proving itself.

Cons:

  • Easier to play round than the Influencer. (Which is a pro for Ducks and Other Species, really, because sometimes it feels bad to be voted out due to an influencer trigger you're impossible to learn)
  • Vulnerable when drawing the graffiti.

If the albatross is dead then itā€™s ability is nullified. If the falcon or pelican countdown finishes while the albatross is still alive then the albatross wins. This would make it so the falcon/pelican would want to go find the albatross instead of hiding.

Not sure what name this could have but what if there was a role that could make mirages. It'd be like professional expect the opposite. It makes fake bodies appear that the other ducks and neutral roles can't see but geese can see.

Information: The Blocker Duck can place a temporary block on a player from doing tasks or interacting with objects. The block would be shown by the HUD showing that the repair or interact function is grayed out or exed out for no more than 5-10 seconds on the selected player. Once the block elapses, the targeted player can interact or complete tasks as normal. It would act as a delaying device and a potential way to stop another player from calling a meeting by pressing a button or calling a body.

The camera will capture snapshot whenever there a dead body under the camera sight area.

Ability: Snapshot
Use: 3 times / round
Cooldown : Refresh after meeting

Can capture snapshot with details.

----Journalist:----

  • Your name will be Red for Duck Team (aka Mimic)
  • Anonymous to display evidence.
  • Hard to get Assassinated.
  • Evidence can save yourself for getting callout.
  • Losing ability when leaving the camera behind.
  • Can't Alter the snapshot.

Timestamp : xx : xx (Time reset every meeting)
Person in that area : Goose A, Goose B, Neutral A

We donā€™t really want to create additional vulnerabilities to the lights sabotage The lights sabotage is actually a pretty great thing in terms of what it adds to the game. It lets ducks kill in the dark, it causes people to split up, it gives opportunities for ducks to change areas discreetly, it allows them to unlock sabotages discreetly, and more! So overall I wouldnā€™t want to create non-duck roles that can see in the dark because the lights sabotage is a great low skill floor high skill ceiling ability. New players that are inexperienced and would have difficulty finding opportune moments to kill have an outlet. Experienced players can use it that way too, but have the additional advantage of using it to do more interesting things as well.

I have a decent idea for a duck. A ghost killer. It'll work like the dodo where they want to be voted out while the other players (besides their teammates) don't want them to be voted out. Since they would be kinda op I was thinking either a longer cool down or a set number of kills would be helpful. But I have no idea a weakness for them. Maybe they can't use it if they were killed instead of being voted out, they can't see in the dark, or maybe they work like a reverse mimic where the other ducks don't know who this player is

%role Protected Witness(Goose): After reporting a body, disguise yourself as another player for the next round.
Your disguise will only trick ducks and temporarily morphs you into a random non duck or mimic player for the round. As the name implies, the protected witness is able to escape into the crowd to avoid being targeted after putting pressure on or ejecting a suspect. The disguise only working against ducks also gives it a secondary ability to catch unsuspecting ducks similarly to the celebrity, although weaker in the sense that proximity chat could easily give the protected witness away.

Dumb astral buff idea I just had: While projecting its spirit, it can also open tasks from far away. I know it really isnā€™t much but I thought it could be useful to have a little extra utillity, at least compared to birdwatcher

Surprise duck
This duck likes throwing surprises and can choose 1 spot that they can teleport to like the escapist from among us, but with flair where if you teleport confetti appear and you can hear party horns like it is a surprise party, so you can see if a surprise duck has teleported to somewhere because the confetti lasts until the next meeting

The role you suggested is quite similar to one from modded among us!

It's possible that this inspired you, or perhaps you coincidentally developed a similar role. In terms of the general design direction, we're trying to build a different game and we aren't really looking to replicate the roles found in modded Among Us!

%Role

Name: Collector
Team: Ducks

Info: The Collector Duck has the ability to collect the wayward spirits of dead players after they die or are voted out.

The more spirits they collect, the larger a bonus they collect at the end of the game. Dead players can avoid being collected by spectating another living player.

The Collector would be able to temporarily see spirits and within that time frame, they will attempt to collect. If the Collector dies or is voted out before the end of the round, the collected spirits are set free.

So you can grab ghosts? It might have a problem of cheating by seeing dead players like the medium used to be but that does sound like a fun role

Psychic (goose) talk to a ghost once per round

Too much information, that's why medium can't see ghosts anymore.

toxic cloud
#

The ability to see dead players would last no more than 10 seconds, that's if they're out and about not spectating. The cooldown on the ability could be as long as a normal kill cool down.

Dead players also can escape easily through walls or going into spectator mode.

I just don't really see what the Collector would do in terms of helping the ducks to win the game, either.

It's more of something that a goose role could do. But yeah, that's still too strong of an ability anyway. Too much info.

tbh, collector seems like it would hurt ducks more because they would be off trying to catch ghosts

The reason it was nerfed was because when the celeb died, peopme would ask "did the celeb die, and if so, who was it?" Unless the target was either a goose or extremely lucky, it would be a guarenteed duck or neutral out.

So I don't see them bringing it back

šŸ‘»Phantom [Goose]
ā­ļø

  • You haunt the player that kills you, potentially killing them.

  • When you are killed, your body disappears and your killer gets a visual notification that he/she will die after a certain amount of seconds. Unless a meeting is called. Or if another killer kills the haunted killer then that killer gets the haunt. (This is better explained below if you donā€™t get the last part)
    (Achievement)

  • of wins achievement: ā€œIn the ghost zone!ā€

(Keep in Mind)

  • Abilities that are not the kill button are immune. (Pelican eating, Demo bombing, and Sabotages that can directly kill for example. This can change if needed)

  • Scenario e.g: If player (A) kills the haunted killer, then player (A) then gets the haunt, then player (B) gets the haunt if he/she kills player (A) and so on until the timer runs out and the last player that has the curse at the end of the timer dies.

(Possible on all maps)

The Phantoms body disappears giving the option for the killer to 1) Find another body to report. 2) Call a meeting via Bell/Button/Horn. 3) Wait out and hope for the best. The time that it takes to be killed by the phantomā€¦I will mainly relay on play testing but I do think 20-25 seconds could work best.

#

I mainly came up with both the Trapper and the Phantom mainly because I didnā€™t like how the Canadian or the Celebrity can punish the minority killer teams in meetings specifically. With Trapper and Phantom, I was able to give the concept of /ability when you die/ role the same value but giving it different approach by making them more versatile with counterplays mainly during walk around.

Posion (duck) it make the goose to get wrong information it can't vent

Writer: there is a good reason the living cannot communicate to the dead anymore. Best to let the dead rest.
Poison: very vague ability, aside from that people who are poisoned will likely just think their game is bugged and become frustrated.

Fraudster duck
fraudster duck has 2 abilities they can use 1 time during the game each during a meeting, a blank and fraud ability, and they can toggle to use one of these by pressing the button during meeting and then voting for someone. if they use the blank ability then the person they vote for doesnt have their vote counted, and if they use the fraud ability then the person they vote for has their vote counted as 2 votes instead of 1

so if you vote for bird A with blank, and bird A votes for bird B, then bird B has no votes on them while bird A has your vote
and if you vote for bird A with fraud, and bird A votes for bird B, then bird B has 2 votes on them while bird A has your vote

Bizarre Duck: Stop time for a total of 5 seconds. No one else can move except them. You get to kill 1 goose before everything is reset. Useful for those who are always just a bit out of reach. Or to waste 5 seconds of their time regardless. (Geese can still finish tasks while time stop is in action, but must be in task while it is still happening for it to happen.)
(Oh yea. Also if the Bizarre duck moves to a different spot before time stop ends, the silhouette they leave will force them back to where they were like a checkpoint.)
(Whether other ducks or geese can see the duck move while time stop happens is your choice.)

If the mayor's role is revealed to everyone, an assassin could just shoot him in the head.

viral dove
#

I don't think the Mayor role is a good idea as proposed. Goose roles shouldn't be easy to confirm, unless it's through death (like Canadian or Celebrity).

#

The executioner role seems like an interesting idea. It's like Mortician, but doesn't overlap with them.

#

Yeah, I could see the executioner role working. It doesn't seem too OP, and someone could always just lie about being Executioner too.

It's not confirmable, so it makes it more viable for gameplay I feel like.
