@devout grove

Hey, I just suggested a role, can we add it?

The Gaggle Team will deliberate over the suggestion, but likely chances are it does not align with the guidelines in the following document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JHySGkJPkCGyTxHyU1jK7XAptCkam79RRgt_j-TFOY4/edit?usp=sharing . Feel free to give it a read, if you want some insight into the roles that would be more likely to approve of. This doesn't mean that your suggestion can't be inspiring and built upon, with this document in mind, keep at it! We love to see your ideas and concepts.

Made this role for fun.
Role Idea: Sniper (Duck)
The Sniper is unable to kill until their ability is used. During the 8 seconds that it's active, they have flashlight vision that extends farther but is thinner than Birdwatcher's, and their entire FOV is their kill range. Any walls will obstruct their bullets as well as sight. This role is not available on Ducktorian maps.

#

Perhaps they could slice in the typical kill fashion and the ability is its own thing, now that I think about it. However, this role probably conflicts with Esper and Invisibility.

viral dove
#

A couple of questions:

  1. What would happen if a meeting was called while a player was being turned into a zombie? Would they be saved or killed immediately?
  2. Would this role be for regular games (Classic/Draft/Corruption), or Treat or Treat mode?

Parasite ( duck ): can add a little parasite on a goose. And when there has been 2 meetings/reports that person will die. Cooldown will be first 30 sec and then when used 180 sec. To remove it do 6 tasks to remove the parasite. Duck are the only one that can see the parasites.

Hey Chris Thank You For Making Goose Goose Duck A Better Game

lavish cedar
#

The Gun Man(duck) has a gun instead of a kill button this gun can zoom out and snipe someone

pseudo plinth
#

Adding a gun sound effect when doing so should make everyone note that someone shot

lavish cedar
#

oh yah

#

great add on to my idea

#

hmm but which gun should he use

#

tell me ideas

fervent pasture
#

Duck that plants a bomb that explodes in 3 seconds and kills everyone in area (like in sidemen among us) but maybe so that geese can see explosion

#

It would make going everywhere in big group less overpowered

void halo
#

So something like the Sin Eater Duck?

lavish cedar
#

New BATCH OF IDEAS READY!!!

#

The Bomb Boi (neutral) can self destruct after finishing all of their fake tasks goal is to kill at least 4 people with the explosion

#

So they can win

void halo
#

Sounds very similar to Sin Eater Duck

lavish cedar
#

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Could the detective have a buff to see a spot of blood where a dead body was for one round? Detective
Like when a body disappeared after a meeting was called or it was eaten, the detective (and no one else) can see a bloody spot where the body was.
The blood disappears after the next meeting
If killed by the professional, the blood doesn't appear Professional

violet blade
#

Make dueling pigeon

lavish cedar
#

make a goose who can kill if voted out

#

so they can finish off their suspect

#

It only works once but can be extremely helpful when you are only one who can see through the duck's charade

#

I even got a name idea

Blacksmith goose
Doing a task give iron iron can be use to empowered someone move reducing their cooldown by 5 for that round

#

Saboteur (Duck): The Saboteur can place hidden traps on certain locations on the map, causing negative effects (e.g., slowing down movement, disabling tasks, etc.) for players who step on them. Their traps are only visible to other ducks and will not be triggered by other ducks. His traps have a cooldown of 40 seconds until he gets another one and he can only stack 2 traps at a time

woven wraith
#

Blinder Duck
Description: this duck can blind geese for a short priod of time
Deatils:

  1. The blind itself: vision will be similar to the vision during the lights sabotage, it will last 2-3 seconds and can not blind other ducks, cooldown 30 seconds
  2. How to cast: first, you press the abilities designated button, then a different color cone will appear on screen (similar to the birdwatchers vision but you can also see your surroundings like normal, you can cast it through walls) press the button again to cast it. You also can cast it from inside a closet/vent, also, when casting you can see through the wall itself but to stop it from being used in other secenarios (just to see through walls) if you do not use this ability 3-5 seconds after starting it it will just pass and the cooldown will start, it wll not cast
  3. Ballancing: kill cooldown will be 5 seconds higher.
  4. Reasons to add this: currently, besides the lights sabotage there are not many ways to obscure ones vision and since the light sabotage is a must have in a game like GGD why not add a similar ability
    (similar to omen blind in valorant)

barber (goose) you take the morphing ability for good you can discuses any player your self or overs with out them knowing unless you say (note: this changes there name color and if there gravy) no you cant discoes your self and also the best goose combo barber Canadian

#

Tunneler(duck) - a duck that can burrow in one place, and pop out another to create linked vents (once after each meeting and vents get reset after each meeting), only allowed to tunnel on maps with like dirt, sand, etc

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! But thank you for taking the time to make a submission, we love this type of community engagement

#

How about adding Vampire? A duck role. The vampire ability could have geese become slow for a certain amount of time from feeling drained.

#

Of course, the duck will still have the ability to kill.

calm hare
#

There is already a vampire role in trick or treat

turbid bolt
#

Spectral [Duck]: similar to Astral, you can send a slow-moving spirit away from your body. However, this duck version can see colors and has a special ability. Also, every goose can see the ghost within a certain range. On corruption maps, it inflicts corruption on all birds it passes through. On normal Classic/Draft, you can kill one player with the ghost form before returning to your body

Pterodactyl-Duck role, you can eat bodies and fly away from them.

hardy belfry
#

Hypocrite[Duck]: Mark any bird (except ducks) and all its abilities will disappear for the next round

red flume
#

idk how it would work but there needs to be a rubber duck role

viral dove
drifting light
#

Perhaps their ability or abilities are replaced with an icon of the Hypocrite's role icon. I also think neutral roles should be immune to this effect, as they literally cannot do anything to win if they get hit (except the dodo, but the dodo is just built different)

#

It should still register to the hypocrite that they "neutralized" their target and the ability is used, but the neutral does not know that they were slapped.

#

Either that or their ability is locked for a long time (like perhaps 40 seconds) before they start to get it back. That way it is okay for neutral roles to be hit again since they are only delayed for a bit instead of literally not being able to do anything for the rest of the round or maybe even the rest of the game.

#

As an example, let's say that I am a pelican. Normally when the round starts, my swallow ability is on a 20 second cooldown the moment the round begins. If I get neutralized, my ability is locked for 40 seconds, and then it goes on the normal 20 second cooldown it would have started with. Effectively making me wait 1 minute before I can eat someone.

buoyant crow
#

I could see that being an issue. If the duck uses their ability on the pelican and every player has used their bell, and vote the duck out, leaving only a Pelican that cannot eat.... The game has no way to end

drifting light
#

Exactly the reason why I suggested those two options:

  1. The ability is locked until the next meeting. Neutrals are unaffected
  2. The ability is only locked for a long time. Neutrals can be affected
hardy belfry
hardy belfry
#

you can mark one bird per round

drifting light

So option 1 then

#

The Darkness (duck) he is only in corruption has the ability to transform into a nightmarish shadow version of a goose note it has small white dots where it's eyes should be. while in regular form he has no kill button but in nightmare form he can stun a target with as breif jumpscare and has a kill that once someone has it as soon as they do a task a shadow clone of The Darkness will stop his task and snap his neck also the body should show his neck snaped. Note i made this up to add some horror to corruption also this duck can be toggled off and is made to give people nightmares and make a horror aspect to ggd.

#

that is what i'm going for

#

also this duck would not be for the faint of heart

#

so if you hate scary things toggle it off

buoyant crow
#

I think a more balanced option for something like the hypocrite duck idea would be to have it like a demo where you mark a player and then after a random interval, 5-15 seconds, their ability gets chained up and they cannot use it for 30 seconds or so

high cairn
#

Maybe you could have versions of different duck roles as geese, for example a goose that can go invisible, a morphing goose, a party goose(fun), spy goose, etc.

#

And vica verca

#

A birdwatcher duck

#

A politician duck

#

Astral duck

#

A goose that can swallow people like a pelican but they get released when a meeting is called

void halo
#

So the issue there that kinda breaks the game, is that Goose roles generally can't be 100% confirmed. I can claim I'm Birdwatcher and saw something happen through a wall, but there is no visible proof of that. Ducks have roles that can visibly confirm, like going invisible or morphing, because it is very risky to do that and possibly get caught.

high cairn
#

Ahh

#

That makes sense

void halo
#

Probably not a good fit for classic or draft, but could happen in a different game mode in the future!

high cairn
#

It would definitely be cool to see

void halo
#

Pretty interesting dive into social deduction game design!

eternal raptor
#

Ambusher (duck): Can kill anyone that is hid in nooks and crannies. Dead body will be reported when someone will go into same hiding spot. Dead Bodies cant be reported other way.

mint hollow
eternal raptor
#

you will have special button that you would be able to use when you will be by a hiding spot and you will jump in and and kill someone who is inside (you will know that you killed someone) if no no one is inside you will just jump into the hiding spot and after you will leave hiding spot next time if someone will come inside in same round even the killer will report the body

mint hollow
#

It might be a little easier if it was just, your kill button lit up when you were near the hiding spot where someone is hiding, and you can just kill them with the normal kill button

eternal raptor
#

you have to be outside so you would be able to kill someone inside a hiding spot

#

Detector (Goose): You have bigger map. You can see dots of players on the map. If player dies, dot will disappear.

buoyant crow
#

Have you seen the Tracker goose on Ancient Sands? Very similar

high cairn
#

The tracker only works in a sandstorm and its map exclusive

#

I only learnt it existed today

#

Stork(neutral): Can eat dead bodys like the vulture, once the Stork eats X amount of bodys he becomes invincible and has 30 seconds to kill everyone

#

Also maybe change the name of mimic to cuckoo

calm hare
#

names of other birds are used for Neutral roles and the mimic is a bird with both goose and duck parents, so cuckoo really wouldn't make sense

eternal raptor
#

little change to my ambusher idea

#

Ambusher (duck): Can kill anyone from nooks and crannies by pulling them inside. Dead body will be reported when someone will go into the same hiding spot. Dead Bodies cant be reported other way.

high cairn
#

That is pretty cool

#

Altruist(goose):can revive someone else but you then die

calm hare
#

The developers have stated that they have no intention of introducing any revival roles to the game

high cairn
#

Ah ok

calm hare
#

The problem with revival roles is it removes a degree of the deduction aspect of the game when someone can just come back to life and say "RED GOOSE KILLED ME VOTE THEM OUT"

eternal raptor
calm hare
#

I have seen a similar idea posted before, not that it's a bad idea, just means great minds think alike

eternal raptor
#

Voodoo doctor (duck): you can make voodoo doll of someone who you will come in contact to. You can swap and control player that doll belongs to.

#

I have a map exclusive role idea, don't have a name for it though
(Name)
Can only be killed by environment

calm hare
#

I do recommend giving that a read through, it outlines a lot of what they think about when considering roles

eternal raptor
#

is voodoo doctor good idea?

calm hare
#

I would say it goes against the role document, controlling other players just kind of makes the game unfun for the player being controlled

eternal raptor
#

idea for update:
Party (duck): By pressing party button when no one is around you will swap balloon to different balloon. Each balloon will have different effect on effected players voice.

high cairn
#

Swapper(goose/duck)
Swaps everyone's locations around

#

(Don't have a good name for this yet)
This is a 2 person role
They can talk to eachother with a button that makes it so they can only talk to eachother

viral dove

#

Psychic(goose)
Can talk to & look through the eyes of another player

#

Esper but good

void halo
high cairn
#

Yeah it sounds cool

#

what about at the end of the time

#

Maybe the real version gets teleported to the fake

void halo
#

Perhaps it simply fades out like when the invisibility duck uses their ability

high cairn
#

I see the voodoo doctor as a great role for framing people

#

That's why I said about the teleporting thing

#

Phaser(duck)
Can go through walls with a long CD
OR
Has an astral type ability that can kill

crystal parcel
#

Raptor(neutral since yk birds are descended from raptors) you can kill and swallow anyone, you win if you and the falcon/pelican are the only 2 left or if you swallow/kill everyone

valid roost
#

Fortune Teller (Neutral)

A Fortune Teller is a neutral role that allows a player to click a crystal ball every (number) seconds. Whenever they use this ball, they will see where a person is for (number) seconds, giving them the chance to witness any murders. The catch is, they can only use this ONCE per round.

high cairn
#

That's quite underpowered, also what is the fortune tellers win condition

#

I would make the power be either once per round or be able to use it on & off for a whole round

rustic vessel
#

Veteran(Goose)
Description:You can protect yourself, the more the duck tries to kill you, it dies. Veteran's shield cooldown: 10s (in the Vertean's vision the shield appears and for no one, but be careful, because they can criminalize you) icon : goose with the police hat on his head.

#

The intel goose
The player can bug 1 player per round and can listen into what their saying but cant hear who their talking to. The bug is removed from the player upon death, a meeting is called or the intel goose dies.

#

The constructer Duck
The player can place 2 or more potholes around the map. Its invisable to geese but visable to ducks. When stepped on, said geese or unlucky ducks are stuck for 5 seconds or so. Or they can build a temp wall that can be demolished by geese in a minigame or after an set amount of time

eternal raptor

#

maybe you could get options like to tell someone your role or smth

velvet vigil

#

#

yeah

#

So if you have this "haunted duck" die, his teammates can see his ghost and he can kind of give hints on where to go and who to kill

novel dome
#

might have to nerf it a lil thouh

velvet vigil
#

again maybe see the ghost of the duck for like 10-5 secs

novel dome
#

how about a button where ducks can see him for like 10 or 5 seconds

#

oh yeah

#

kinda same thing

or smth like that

drifting light
#

Once a round works

velvet vigil
#

So lets talk about the ghost or voice one?

novel dome
#

idk

#

i think ghost

drifting light
#

I think the voice one is a bit too strong. If I was the voice I could just say "x is pelican, y is canadian, z is celeb" which is not hard at all if role reveal is on fir dead players.

velvet vigil
#

both are good

#

now?

#

Haunted (Duck)
When you die, you can make your ghost visible to other ducks once per round

How about a role that at the start its neutral with no alignment to any other role but itself until it potentially figures out another persons role in which case an Assasin like mechanic could be put in place that allowed the player to pick another players role if they guess correctly they become that role and the previous person dies and becomes the role that the person who quessed correctly was but cant do anything since they are dead, I suggest this mechanic or something similar to avoid having way too many ducks, not sure about the name but how about a Swapper or maybe a Raven to fit the bird theme.

I have an idea basically my name for it is “egg” or “the egg” basically its a goose role and is a normal goose until killed if it is killed then no one will know and the egg will not die but all ducks will have 3x the wait time to kill for that round and not even the egg itself will know who attempted to kill it but then at the next meeting there will be an alert (a lot like the celebrity) and it will say “(what ever role who killed it not person) cracked the egg” for example: “the spy has cracked the egg” this would also do this for neutral roles if that’s the role that had a murder attempt on them and also works for duck roles like sheriff, vigilante, ect. Then after that meeting the egg will not get to vote in meetings and will get one kill for the rest of the game.

(Role Rework Ideas)

👻Medium
The medium can only see how many ghosts have died in that round. (You only see the ghosts that die that round, it resets every meeting back to zero, making it more understandable and simple) You additionally see how many have disconnected globally on the side with the info you get.

🪬Astral
You go faster and last longer in ghost form but you have a longer cooldown. Making it more efficient with its use while still having to think about how and when you go into spirit mode with the longer cooldown.

🌟Sheriff
You can’t report your kills as a mini drawback, you will see this by seeing a lock around the report button when next to that body. This makes the vigilante less obsolete and can be a form of deduction for Assassin if the “goose with a gun” is one or the other role.

# visual charm There is a role for that and that is a engineer

It’s kind of different in that it checks when vents are used rather than sabotages. I can see this as a replacement for the engineer on eagleton springs, and instead it can catch players that go through the pipes/toilets. It would also make more sense than having the engineer on that map because it can be confusing to detect sabotages that are activated from the sewers. Detecting someone taking a duck only route to the sewers or back up would be fine because they are pretty much on top of each other.

# visual charm There is a role for that and that is a engineer

Entirely different concept. Engineer doesn't catch Pigeon and can catch Ducks that cannot vent. This role would serve a very different purpose, as it wouldn't be catching ducks sabotaging, but rather using the vents, and yet adds another role that can use vents, making using the vents inherently a tiny bit less suspicious.

Hmm.. That gives me an idea.

Players seem to want some kind of possession duck that can do the killing for you by taking control away from another player. But a possession role goes against the role document.

We have the Ninja role which can double kill, but on a really long cooldown.

What if we combined the two.
A Duck that has to possess another player in a way similar to Esper, and after a long cooldown can do just that.
Posessing a player starts a timer, find another player and kill that player, for both the possessed and the target to die, resembling a failed sheriff within the time limit, or the possessed player and the duck die instead.

Effectively this does take control away from a player, but technically they're dead from the moment the possession starts.

This probably still goes against the role document, but it was a fun little idea.

Guardian Angel (Goose Role)
You can give another player a shield. (Only allowed 1 shield each round) If the player is killed during a round, you die instead, and a shield break effect appears around the player.

You can give another player a shield. You will die instead of them if they are killed this round.

#

The Thief (Duck Role)
Shorthand:
You steal votes from any non-ducks who vote for you, to double your voting power. Your kill cooldown is double.

Explanation:
During a meeting, if any non-ducks/mimic vote for you, it adds one vote to your voting power for the next meeting. (Totalling to a max of 2)
However, your kill cooldown is twice as long.

#

The Librarian (Goose Role)
You can see the colours of who voted for you, and who voted the same person as you.

(Not skip votes, even if you vote skip)

#

The Blue Jay (Neutral)
Shorthand: Collect enough votes without being voted out to win. Your tasks are fake.

Explanation:
Depending on lobby size, collect (X) number of votes being voted for you, across all meetings, to become "elected" and win. Being voted out obviously makes you lose/die.
Perhaps the amount could be equal to the total number of players excluding yourself, up to a limit of 10, but the amount you need of course doesn't reset between rounds.
A counter button on your screen shows you how many votes you have left you need to collect without dying/being voted out.

the hacker duck (only on space map)

the hacker can trap a goose task for 1 minute once every round, if a goose do the task during this timer the goose die.

If there is a ingenieur goose he can see a dot pointing to the trap task and can disarm it.

jagged dew
#

Discouraging doing tasks which artificially extends the timer I'm unsure about the practical application in the average game. Cool idea but the end result is that people don't do their tasks, which isn't fun.

#

Maybe the hack could disable their abilities for the next 60 seconds instead, so they can't vigilante/avenger/engineer/bird watch/sheriff, etc.

#

Heck you could have it disable their comms for the next 20 seconds as well, (in proxy chat)

glacial cape
#

for the comm since it's a sabotage in space map it's pretty useless and disable the ability except if nothing in their HUD it's easy to notice

worn grove
#

These are all cool ideas! I think they each come with their own problem but can be improved upon.
Guardian angel is too much like the bodyguard but also may have an issue with the shield break. You'd know that person just tried to kill you if you see a shield break around you.
Maybe as an example to improve you can get rid of the shield break and the guardian angel also dying.
I guess that also moves into the territory of a role being too much like one from Among Us.

Man, thinking of roles is hard. Agh

#

I admire that you guys came up with ideas. But in the game we gotta make sure they arnt too similar to roles that already exist. Like the librarian is close to the preacher. Although I would love a goose version of the preacher. Lover

uncut elbow
#

I read the Guardian Angel like the bodyguard, but my understanding was you could use your ability on someone then walk away with them shielded and it would be more universal instead of dedicated to protecting one specific person. Also you would not have to stand over a person like the bodyguard does. Very interesting idea!

buoyant crow
#

I can see it being possible. It doesn't go against the role document, a kill does happen, but it does make the bodyguard less useful, especially since you get to choose who to shield (shield the Sheriff might be pretty powerful combo)

uncut elbow
#

It can be powerful. And I can see it being different from bodyguard because there would be no extra coins gained from it like the bodyguard gets.

I wonder if it were possible to tie it to the Assassin too? At least in classic mode, not sure how that would work in draft. I know that would be getting into complicated territory, but it would make the games more interesting if players had to really protect their role identities when GA was active.

Role: Cassowary neutral
You have one job, to cause as much destruction as possible. You will be given a task list which is to place bombs around rooms, or burn the room. All destruction tasks you do will be visual so you must be careful not to get caught. The room will have a 10-second timer before being destroyed. Any duck, goose, or neutral role (including the Cassowary) in the room when the timer is up will be killed. Task for goose, and duck sabotage will be left over after the room is destroyed. This role can not directly kill others, but can only kill through room destruction
How to win: destroy all the things on your destruction task list

jagged dew
jagged dew
# uncut elbow I read the Guardian Angel like the bodyguard, but my understanding was you could...

Yeah you wouldn't need to stand beside them - the idea of the shield break animation is so you catch one person out for trying to kill you - I don't see much of a point of you sacrificing yourself if it doesn't do anything beyond swap who dies, which is better for the person who attacked you. (And the fact you don't have to stick nearby is part of the idea)
Bodyguard is more like sticking close to one person - the Guardian Angel could end up giving their shield to a duck one round which would be bad - it's more dynamic and requires you to think about who you trust, or who's likely to die.
You also can't give your shield to someone else once you've given it, so you have to be mindful of who you give it to.
As on another note, just because someone is shot, doesn't mean it was by a duck. Could have been the falcon, or a sheriff, or a vigilante. (Doesn't waste the vigilante shot, or self kill the sheriff, as a note. Puts the kill on cooldown and that's it)

Alternatively you could have it so the shield break animation only plays for the person who was shielded, and nobody else, so it's confirmation for them, but not others - ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Or it plays the animation out after a 5/10 second delay. Anything of that sort.
Perhaps with the delay it won't be too OP, but still serve the purpose of what I had in mind

I like the idea of no notification if someone is shielded (kind of like how Pigeon doesn’t know who for sure they have sneezed on before).

And I love the interesting point you brought up about if the GA dies in place of the person they put the shield on. It could cause chaos if someone just popped out of nowhere and no one knew what was going on. Was it GA? Esper? Invisible? Lover? It would for sure bring an interesting dynamic.

Oh you wouldn't know you have a shield unless it breaks, is the idea. You'd only see the animation play if someone attacks you. The Guardian Angel of course would see who they shielded.
For making it that there's no notification.... then perhaps could there be a little animation on the GA when the GA dies instead? Idk. Could be tweaked around. I just feel purely switching the kill, if anything, is better for the Duck/etc, because effectively they killed someone far away from themselves.
There should be some benefit to shielding someone, after all.

I thought of two ways to balance it. To make the task completely visual like I said before. And to add multiple bombs/fuses. What I mean about that is that each room will have two to four bombs/fuses in it, the cassowary we'll have to detonate each of these separately with a different password. It takes about 5 seconds for the bomb/fuse to register the password. so it will take about 10 to 20 seconds minimum before the room can be detonated plus the amount of time it takes to type the password

Medium would be more powerful if its skill is a passive one like you don't have to click any button to know how many are dead. The number of ghost should be just on top of the unclickable skill.

However, as the medium tells of all players who died in a game, it could be interesting to have the trigger button give arrows to all the ghosts for like 5 seconds. Could be a little confusing to follow an arrow and find no body there, but that's also part of the fun.

feral valve

I think that's too much for a goose. My suggestion is much more pretty balance. They can nerf it a little bit to have a frequency of checking every 3~5 seconds.

With the speed duck it is technically just the invisibility duck but you are more likely to get caught.

@civic linden The riot goose sounds neat. Maybe not give it the speed increase because that wouldn't make it obvious what they are and a target for the assassin if there is one. It could possibly give the geese another chance to win.

The Insane goose (duck?) He can use a dash which kills any role in it's path including ducks. He is a goose who was shunned out of the goose society due to his methods of discipline which were fatal to everyone around him he would often shoot them with a rocket launcher or rig the facility with bombs. He also has a kill that would show him talking to the victim then he would put a bomb on them and controls the victim using them to kill or sus them out or both but after a round the bomb is gone but the killer can make him self destruct which blows him up. Also the Insane Goose Can win by killing the geese or helping the geese and kill the ducks. But If he tries to kill a duck they need to time a button which if done successfully doges the attack and the ducks can kill him so if he kills a duck the ducks can kill him but if he kills a goose the geese can kill him (note if he tries to kill a duck but fails they can kill him. Also He can not be voted out if he never kills a goose.

    For them it could be vector based so for example a direction inbetween these vectors is considered "down" and will instead make the player run right. If I begin sliding the joystick towards the left the goose will still move to the right but begin angling down. Then when I reach the cooridinates that result in left, the goose will suddenly start moving up instead.

When you are the last duck,Your kill Cooldown will be greatly reduced.You can kill other ducks.Your tasks are fake.
*mimic is a duck in the eyes of the desperate,this means you need to mimic death to trigger the skill.
*Desperate can kill their teammates at any time, whether or not there is mimic.
*Desperate's kill time is reduced by half of the set kill time (rounded down) .

They are interesting. Remember that each role needs a counter to it.
Like the cuckoo, if you die first you win, correct? That will make people a little afraid of killing.
The poisoner duck would be difficult to determine who is poisoning everyone. Kind of like who the vampire is in Trick or Treat.
The magnetteer would be too obvious. I understand it could be used while chasing someone but it can also be frustrating to players who think they are gonna outrun the duck, just to be pulled to them.
So, each role needs some kind of counter. If you can think of a counter for these it would be better. Blush

Can you elaborate more on what you mean by mission? Do you mean tasks?
A type of hacker duck sounds fun but can you elaborate a little more? If you meant tasks then there are a few issues with deactivating those. Mainly players might deactivate ones meant for achievements. Plus we are on a task pool, so it would be a little pointless.
Maybe they could have their own special sabotage like the warlock does?

#

Energy vampire would have to work differently, perhaps making the affected players cooldowns for abilities longer

#

Having people move at different speeds is a dead giveaway that there is a (role), which takes away from the deduction a bit

steel mica
#

the main idea of ​​the vampire is to slow players down to lower the kill time

As I said, people moving slower tells people there is 100% a vampire, if you look at current roles, most aren't easy to tell if there is one or not

An activated ability would be best

My idea would be it would be a toggled ability like birdwatcher, where you can see where people are on the map but you cant see well / can't talk to others while it's on

But if it was passive make it either only update every 10 or so seconds/only work during sabotages

Because I cant see any way for this to work, as people are unpredictable

steel mica

it's like this: when you use the power, time kind of reverses and all the players start to go back to where they were except you and you can wait for the guy who was on your side to come back (because you are not affected) and kill him

What u think is the best idea

Skill stealer would work better as a skill copier, maybe working like the spy, if they are the only person to vote for them they copy their ability for a round

steel mica
#

Ye

high cairn
#

Eagle eye seems best

steel mica
#

He can coppy imposter ability or inocent ability

#

Its the best

high cairn
#

So it's a neutral role?

steel mica
#

But

#

He only can copy if who he want copy is dead

#

Is this the nerf

#

Good?

high cairn
#

The thing I said before is enough of a nerf

As they need to be the only person to vote for their target

steel mica

And can copy only 2 times

That's too big a nerf

#

Hold on

steel mica
#

Hm

high cairn
#

Is this a goose, duck or neutral role

steel mica
#

Hmm

#

Wait i think

#

you know everyone's profession and you can only choose once (if you're the only one to vote for her or if she's dead) or you don't know everyone's profession and you can steal 3 times the identities of others (being the only one to vote for her or if she is dead)

#

?

worn grove
#

Being able to copy an ability and immediately know what they are at the start of the next round at the meeting is a huge advantage.
Is it a duck or a goose? If a goose then it would be extremely easy to find out who a duck is. If you can only take other ducks abilities you can easily find out who the mimic is. But that's also how the spy works, except they only know at the next meeting.
Maybe to counter this after that first meeting they will need one more meeting to gain the ability?

steel mica
#

Hmm

#

Nice idea

worn grove
#

Or maybe it can be on a map that will not have a mimic. Which currently is only the basement

And corruption mode.

steel mica

would it be good if he can only take the roles of imposters or both?

OR if there is a skill theif there can not be a mimic

It would absolutely have to be a duck. And to help with the balancing it can only steal from other ducks

steel mica

does the duck that will have the function copied need to be dead? or do you need to be the only one to vote for him?

worn grove

Kind of like the preacher cannot give the extra vote to their duck partners

steel mica

Nah. To help with that they could maybe give you an option to choose your target like the assassin chooses theirs (but without picking a role).
Or adding a risk for the reward, you gotta vote. Don't have to be the only one though

But it can't be a dead duck. That would confuse too many people

Since staying in the sewers can be dangerous for geese, giving the sewer crawler more escape options through the hidden sewer entrances can help it stay safe. Claiming to be a sewer crawler can give also ducks a plausible excuse to why they spent so much time in the sewers or if seen taking the hidden entrances.

Still not exactly what the devs want to do for their game. For a good sense of how to design roles like that, if someone presses their kill button (or kill-like button), then someone is dying.

Vengeful goose: goose role
After you die you can curse any role that has the ability to kill or sabotage. The curse you put on them will slow down the rate of the cool down for kills/sabotages. The cool down reduction is usually about 5 seconds, but if the vengeful goose curses anyone who has killed that round it will be 10 instead of five

It would be nice to create a role called cheater. It will consist of talking with a ghost (a dead person) with a limited time of 10 seconds.

@gaunt oriole although it would be really fun to choose which side you want to be on, a neutral needs it's own win conditions.
It's entirely possible but unlikely the devs would make a role that could choose sides. Especially if they wait til late game when one side is winning and it's more likely they will get the W.
It is a cool idea though! Maybe there is a way you can think of making a blue Jay working which involves thievery?

If the == guesses wrong, one of two things could happen, they could
A. Have their ability disabled for X rounds
B. The player they tried to randomise will be able to choose their own new role, this will not count towards the == goal
If the == dies, the killer will have their role randomised immediately, if this was the == final randomise they win, if not the game continues as normal

Eraser (duck) - can mark up to 3 ppl and when a meeting is called, no matter what they are, they will turn into a goose

So it’s kinda like hot potato but the bluejay is bound to lose no matter what

#

Also here’s another fun one which you may consider-the cuckoo bird, who wins if their host who is a duck or a neutral, wins. Can also stun players during crow/falcon/pelican hunt

#

The name came because the cuckoo bird places their eggs in other birds nests,who will take care of the cuckoo bird thinking it’s their own kind

#

But if their host dies, the cuckoo bird turns into the host’s role, giving both of them a second chance

#

And if the cuckoo bird dies, the host will be alerted, and that’s it

Every role has to have it's downsides

The marked players will know who the eraser is & can get someone else to kill them or they can kill them, if the eraser dies it doesent happen

You need to be careful with roles that mess with people's perception. Information is key in the game, for one, and a person missing vital information isn't that fun.

  1. The original body pretty much "vanishes". Though, if that would be too hard for the devs, then I think it would just be the body fades for a bit and then the Geezer has a brief bit with the morph before the body reappears.

  2. I would say if the person you frame gets voted out. But I dunno how to word it the way I see it. It's simple in my head, but my mind is drawing a large blank

  • You can track player’s footprints.

  • During walk around, you can choose who you get to track. When you “track” a player, you will see footprints that they make, they disappear after a certain period of time, and there won’t be colored footprints. You can track multiple players, but the more people you track, the higher your cooldown gets. Your cooldown will stay the same if a tracked player dies.

That actually sounds like a really neat idea. You have to look at the pros and cons of it very thoroughly. It's a lot like the esper and invisibility in a way, right? Except you can see your target and you are in control of where you go.
I can honestly see someone standing on one side of a wall all round and killing anyone that goes through a high populated area.

This is a neat alternative to the bodyguard. Being able to choose your own target I think is a better alternative for sure. But, I think it should function like the bodyguard is currently. The dev team will not accept roles or abilities that stop from killing in classic, so I think the knight just being a bodyguard but you can choose your target I think is a better route. I don’t think they’ll add this because they just gave Bodyguard/Hitman more attention with its most recent update, unless they consider this a good idea. Unless you give the bad killers an indication that someone is being protected, I don’t think the protected player and the knight needs to be fully immune.

Edit: You probably intended this to be a Bodyguard rework, I could be mistaken.

In general, when one bird tries to use a kill ability, some other bird must die. The Bodyguard and Gravy can protect by redirecting the kill, but a kill still happens.

Hey, I just suggested a role, can we add it?

The Gaggle Team will deliberate over the suggestion, but likely chances are it does not align with the guidelines in the following document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JHySGkJPkCGyTxHyU1jK7XAptCkam79RRgt_j-TFOY4/edit?usp=sharing . Feel free to give it a read, if you want some insight into the roles that would be more likely to approve of.

# earnest wyvern 3. Mayor (goose) You are a mayor, so players can't kill you by voting

This sounds very similar to Politician except not needing the tie. This becomes a problem because all you have to do is get enough votes on you to prove your role, which in general is a no-no for geese.
I'm also not sure if you're thinking of some sort of "reveal" mechanic similar to Town of Salem. It would put a giant target on the goose's head, but then some other goose could just follow that player and they are very well protected.

I think being able to wiretap any conversations on the phones and any conversation in a very close proximity to the phones could be interesting.

There are roles that could hypothetically interact with the phone system, but the two big rules that potentially have friction with a lot of possible ideas is that

The issue is more how do you play against an ostrich, if the eggs are invisible. All the ducks have a tell that they're killing, if subtle, and usually some drawback. Meanwhile, ostrich just laying down a minefield with little repercussion.

I could maybe see the ostrich having to run fast to lay the eggs, but I'm not sure most of the maps would accommodate that as an ability, plus there's still no way to defend against the egg bombs.

The penguin, neutral
The penguin has the ability to transform into a penguin, when in this form they gain the ability to freeze someone in place, this effect continues through meetings, frozen birds can still use most of their non kill abilities while frozen(astral can still use their spirit to search around). A frozen bird can be freed from being frozen in 3 ways
A. A bird gets a bomb placed on them, once it blows up they will be freed from the ice
B. Another unfrozen bird comes and does a task to unfreeze you (5-10 seconds to complete), once they do the task you can choose when you want to leave the ice
C. The penguin dies, when this happens a banner will pop up (celeb banner) and all birds will be able to do their own unfreeze task to free themselves

As you may have guessed, the penguins goal is to freeze everyone

Birds in ice are immune to the Pigeon & most kills
The assassin can still guess a frozen birds role
Falcon/peli cannot kill/eat frozen birds
The esper cannot put their ability on a frozen goose, however a goose that had the ability then got frozen will still die
The vig can kill a frozen bird
The avenger can kill a frozen bird
When in ice:
Most ducks cannot kill
Esper can use their kill when in ice
Demo will give themselves a bomb instead of another player, essentially getting a get out of jail card

Anyone inside the pelican will count as being frozen if the peli gets frozen

(I'm surprised I didn't hit the character limit)

🩺Coroner [Goose]
⭐️

  • You can investigate a corpse to see their species and also see the bodies crime scene for track the killer down.

  • When you inspect a body, you see the faction that the body is during meetings. (Not role)

  • You additionally see that bodies “crime scene” after that meeting and for the rest of the game. (Only the coroner can see this, and the crime scene is a white chalked outline)

  • If you examine that crime scene, it will show that 3 players as a potential killer of that body during the walk around and during that next meeting, it disappears after. The 3 players will show devil horns with a question mark over it I imagine, but that could be changed)

  • You can examine it again but it will give you the same info of course. (Just in case you forget I guess)

👩‍⚖️Attorney [Goose]
⭐️⭐️

  • You can vote twice.

  • You have the privilege to vote two separate times. In meetings, you see a button in the bottom middle (like assassin/high priest), this button when pressed gives you the option to have you vote someone, separate from your regular vote.

  • You cannot skip with the special vote.

  • This vote will stay on the targeted player for the meeting the vote was used, and the next meeting. The meeting after is when you can use the vote again.

  • You will see a small icon on the player that you used the special vote on for the meetings you use the vote.

  • When you vote regularly, you can’t use the other vote ability until the next meeting.

  • (The purpose for the cooldown between each special vote and not having the ability to skip with said special vote is to give the attorney more incentive to think more strategically)

⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • You can set rooms on fire.

  • The arsonist can’t use regular sabos, except doors.

  • When in game, the fire sabo will not be used by other ducks. The arsonist can set any room on fire with a click of a button with a semi-long cooldown. You can only do this once per round.

  • When a room is on fire, after 10 seconds smoke does appear in said room, 5 seconds after that the fire will kill anyone in the fire, than the sabo is activated like normal and needs to be fixed normally. Victims of the fire will be seen dusted. (Can’t be reported, can’t be vulture eaten, can’t be morti checked, etc)

So basically invis who can see but nothing else it would be warp duck where it warps to a location by running in another dimension kindo of like kamui and obito

Its a good idea in general and the best strat i can think is a hit and run u kill then warp to an empty room . It would be good to add a 3 second counter before u can kill after warping to avoid the hassle during peli or falcon rush because one could just warp and find em then popup kill

Even with a lower chance it's a bit strong. I've played enough Fire Emblem to know how often a 5% chance to critical hit end up eliminating one of my characters.

Hey, I'm not saying that it's bad and you should feel bad. All ideas are cool, it's just that some just don't quite fit with the game.

I would personally expand on this being able to find ducks in some way. Perhaps it can detect how many tasks soneone has done?

Yea, how many they have done since the last meeting when you check them.

It is your idea, I'm just throwing possibilities around.

#

It's a pretty good idea, but I have a few thoughts on it.
*How does the phaser determine when they teleport? What happens at the end of their 30 second phase window? Do they automatically teleport or go back to their original location?
*While their body is invisible, can they be killed? Are they vulnerable to a sheriff or vigilante during that time?
*While they clearly cannot vent, would they be able to see in foggy map areas?

kindred hearth
#

Venting would be too much power i suggest they basically warp through wall to a new location like tp but have a 3sec counter
No venting
They can be killed in reg mode but im warp mode they can't die unless bomb
When they finish warp their is a 3 sec windo before they can kill and mid lengtg counter for another warp
They can only warp for 10 sec but can manually end a warp

Opportunist (Duck)

Any time a timer sabotage is called (ie; life support, poisoned water, fire, etc, this does NOT include lights), your kill cool-down will halved, and you can see on the map how many people are currently fixing the sabotage. After the sabotage is fixed, you will go back to normal. This may hopefully decrease the amount of lights sabotage and increase the amount of other sabotages

Sporadicist/Multitasker/Randomized (Duck)

After every meeting, your specific role randomly changes (eg; you were invisibility after 2nd meeting, and became party after 3rd meeting)
On the first round, you will be a duck with no special abilities and the role changing will only start later.
This will stir confusion among the geese trying to figure out whether they have a Sporadicist in the game or not (except draft ig), and don’t know whether someone being partied is from the Sporadicist or the actual party duck

Dungeoner(Neutral)

There are two cellars on the map, one on the right and one on the left. The main mechanics of the Dungeoner role are based on these vaults. A neutral role. The person who is a dungeoner has the ability to kidnap a live goose, duck or another neutral role by putting a bag over his head. The kidnapped victim's voice will sound hoarse and hoarse. And the person who is a Dungeoner will take that person to the vault. If there are enough people in the vault, the person who becomes the Dungeoner will win. If the Dungeoner role dies during the game, the password to the vaults will go to a random person, and while the person at the back of the vault enters the password, at least half of the prisoners in the vault must perform a task at the door (such as cooperation). People in the vault will be shown as dead during the voting. A role that can kill can kill others in the cellar. And the Dungeoner role can wear a mask once during the game. The mask is active for a limited time. Meanwhile, if it is noticed that a player has been kidnapped, the person who notices can save the player. Additionally, people in the vault cannot see or hear the voting. A small goose role can be added to this role to add variety. In this role, he has the right to call out to other people once from a gap in the cellar, if there is someone near the cellar. I'm very excited about this role, I hope it attracts the attention of developers as well.

Hey, I just suggested a role, can we add it?

The Gaggle Team will deliberate over the suggestion, but likely chances are it does not align with the guidelines in the following document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JHySGkJPkCGyTxHyU1jK7XAptCkam79RRgt_j-TFOY4/edit?usp=sharing . Feel free to give it a read, if you want some insight into the roles that would be more likely to approve of. This doesn't mean that your suggestion can't be inspiring and built upon, with this document in mind, keep at it! We love to see your ideas and concepts.

Clown(Duck)

If there was such a role in the game, Circus Map should definitely be there. And there should also be a yellow raincoat cosmetic. The specialty of the role is to be able to kill players within a certain area through ventilation. (Yes, like in IT) The person with the role will be able to kill normally. When the clown kills someone from inside the vent, it will appear as if he/she is watching the person move into the vent. To be balanced, the kill time through the vent should be longer than normal.

Jester - goose (2.0)
•"You can be a mischief to the ducks"
•You can set a trap to sabotage the duck
•This trap prevents the sabotage from working when activated, and after that the sabotage will begin to recharge.
•In order to set the trap, the jester must complete a duck puzzle.
•At the beginning of the game there are 2 traps, but after you set at least one trap, then you will have one trap per round.
•The Jester does not have a trap cooldown, he can immediately set a trap.
•Each new round, all untriggered traps disappear.
•The jester cannot know whether the trap was sprung.

Phoneix(goose)

This role allows you to see the players' colors the same and only be able to see and hear them in the meeting. Its feature expires at the same time as the kill time and allows you to see and hear for 8 seconds. If the feature was turned on when it was killed, it can identify the duck. It doesn't turn into a ghost. A player must collect the ashes from where the phoenix died and ring the bell or report another corpse. If a corpse is reported or the bell is rung before the ashes are removed, the phoenix turns into a ghost. But if the ashes are removed and the meeting is started, the phoenix has the right to speak during the meeting. No one can talk without interruption, other players can neither write messages nor talk. Voting is activated after the Phoenix's speech, and the phoenix turns into a ghost when the meeting ends. It may be a add little buff, but I kept changing this role in my mind and I think it's at its best.

# near oyster The role is not bad, since it is a phoenix, then in my opinion it should be a ne...

I prepared what you said neutrally and then it became a little meaningless. After that, I prepared it as a duck role, it became unnecessary. Then I prepared it as a duck phoenix and a goose phoenix. At first it seemed like a good idea, but then I realized that it had a lot of mistakes and was meaningless. Finally, I realized that I could only make this resurrection theme suitable for the goose. But of course you are right, it would be more logical for such a role to be neutral.

  • Choose someone to annoy, so they can be reminded of you when you die.

  • During gameplay, you can choose to annoy a player. This player will see when you die.

  • If your target dies before you do, you can choose again, you will not be able to do this until the next round after their death. But your cooldown is a little longer than usual. (This will give incentive to choose the target carefully in addition to not try to wrongfully choose a neutral or duck)

The reason celebrity works is because several people all know about their death.
Relegating that to a single person is not very useful.

Perhaps if instead of choosing a target and then another if that target dies, maybe instead they can choose up to 5 players (lobby divided by 3, rounded down) and no less than two, to be notified.
This way they'd still be fairly useful but also would need to deduct who to trust with the information.
You don't want to use your ability on someone you know is going to be voted out or killed by the Sheriff, you also don't want to use your ability on a duck or neutral because they'll just keep quiet as it's beneficial for them.

# buoyant crow The reason celebrity works is because several people all know about their death....

Why is it not considered useful if it’s just one person? Is it because the info is less impactful for the geese?

Sure, maybe that is the case, but I would debate that getting this info is a good form of a mixed bag because you don’t know if the person saying this is lying or not. Heck, the evil birds can use that info to make them look good.

Choosing to do an alternative to the norm because of a potential outcome is more interesting than, “oh, celeb died, time to expose the evil birds. oh yeah, me and the person next to me also gasped at the exact same time, that clears both of us.”, in execution it’s repetitive in-terms of mechanics. I understand that celeb is meta for having glass cannon information by it being a crucial alternative for catching evils though, that’s great.

However, the limitation of choosing a player is not a bad thing because it creates a form of strategy for the role and other factions other than geese, and at the end of the day, you can still choose impulsively if you want to. Isn’t that the beauty of this game and Modded AU is being able to choose your own chaos in order to win?

I don’t know, I think this as a better alternative to Celebrity because it works well in both proxy and non-proxy because other geese can’t confirm your info, and the info is just as versatile for outcome. I do agree that maybe the info can be bumped up to more people getting it though, that can be fun. Kind of like a buddy system lol.

Edit: Spacing

cured (duck) this one is silly so you can vent and kill normally but your ability's works like this you press the Butten but then you will see all of these player and names you press a name and you can send a cursed <types of curses>
slow, bomb, kill, blind, and more to think you can give a small buff to teammates this is also going to have a ablity as a dead player called haunt ware if you die and you press the button on a player you can control then for a cupel of seconds move and kill they will die after if mimic is on there will be a side to curse or buff or do what ever with this

  • You can select any bird as your idol. One time per game only.

  • When a meeting is called and your idol is dead, you will know the killer and it's role during meetings (like the spy and mortician). It could be falcon, pelican, sheriff, vigilante or a duck role.

  • (Possible Nerf) You will know the killer but you don't know the killer's role.
