You keep making up roles that you've already said and that break multiple roles again and again like being able to revive someone or having someones ability not work.

%role mayor goose
ability:can call an anoymous meeting from anywhere on the map but will use up one of your meetings

green nacelleBOT

nimble quail
#

%role Tape Goose :

  • once per round he can block one vent
  • again once per round he can also stick a tape on the ground that immobilizes anyone who passes for 10 seconds (to run away from a suspicious person its good)

%role daunting duck

( his power makes him intimidate all the geese )

  • once per game this duck can use its power in the meeting
  • so that he cannot be thrown out (or nullify the votes)
    -by using his power he reveals himself to everyone (making the next round his last)

why add this role:

it would give a duck a second chance to take someone else with him (second chance especially if he kills a canadian)

what is his ''meta''?

by winning this second chance he would sabotage something so that they don't call a meeting, causing the geese to run to fix it or try to kill him

%role
Name :- Picklocker Goose
Story :- he was a robber and he learned lock picking but when the duck nation attacked he changed his heart and joined the geese
Abilities :- Can open any sabotaged doors and the jail
Goal :- He wins with the geese
Team :- Goose

Short Explanation :- You can open locked doors

the picklocker would work on any map

#

and he would be better for the goose

gusty bone
#

It’s an instant confirm

#

really easy to achieve at that

clear patrol
#

But like, whats the point of this role? Either you keep it as it is, which is just a better, self-confirming locksmith. Or you chuck the unlock the jail cell system, to which it is highly reliant in the ducks using the door sabo, making it either useless or OP.

marsh whale

doors sabo are realy op right now

and someone who could fight with them would be really good

%role Sightseer Goose
A birdwatcher alternative that gives you for a short time much a larger vision range, however you cannot see colors from that extended range similar to how birdwatcher gets a benefit but with a drawback

Its really hard to make very interesting goose roles because of the limitations in place for the sake of balance.

If it were easy, I'm sure Among Us would have lots of roles by now

%role Serial Duck - Ability: The duck is like a normal Duck, but can only kill people when alone in a radius of (X)m.

green nacelleBOT
shadow falcon
marsh whale
clear patrol
#

or is it suppose to just not have one

storm crescent
# clear patrol Where upside?

Upside? It's upside is that when the Serial Duck is alone with someone inside the (X)m radius, the kill button lights up. And when it does, it says that you and that someone are alone and the Duck will enjoy either choosing to kill or to marinate.

#

For example, Me and a guy are in a cargo bay for a task. If there's no other goose in the (X)m radius, the kill button lights up. If there is an another goose, then the kill button can't light up and can't be used.

clear belfry
#

I get the feeling that you accidentally kill in front of others alot

#

or is this for lower vision modes?

#

I think I'm missing something here

clear patrol
#

So your kills are limited?

storm crescent
clear patrol
#

but like, why don't you just improve your vision so you can just see the people near you

#

or am I missing something

clear belfry
#

there is one that my niece suggested and I thought was good

#

%role grenade duck. grenade duck is armed with one grenade per round that they can chuck into a vent. this grenade does not move and any who jump to that vent either from another vent or from outside the vent will be blown up. the downside is that this is just as true for any of the ducks as well and there is no way to tell which vent as the grenade until someone blows up

green nacelleBOT
clear patrol
#

I would like a role like this IF there was more venting roles which weren't ducks

#

Currently this is just a middle finger to the mechanic, your fellow ducks, and the pigeon

storm crescent
#

So... This is labeled as a Future role.

clear patrol
#

IDK man might be cool if there was some counterplay with it.

clear belfry
#

I just thought she had a good idea and thought I would share it. I thought it was well thought out for an 8 year old

clear patrol
#

Totally yeah

#

I am not trying to take away from the idea, especially from someone of that age

storm crescent
clear belfry
#

I thought it might pair well if they did an adventure mode like what was suggested on gamemode ideas

#

where there can be more than 1 mechanic

clear patrol
#

Yeah yeah

#

That would actually be really good

clear belfry
#

that and I thought it would be hilarious if you booby trapped a vent, forgot and then jumped in and blew yourself up

#

but then I have a twisted sense of humor

clear patrol
#

I didn't even think of that lol

clear belfry
#

that was why there was the bit of not being able to tell which vent you chucked the grenade in

clear patrol
#

and I mean with a name change(way to close to demolitionist theme-wise) and some very slight tweaking, it would be sick.

#

Also could imagine a situation where a mechanic was trying to prove they were mechanic, hopped into a trapped vent, and then just bleaming died.

clear belfry
#

lmao. yeah. that would be funny as hell. especially if the bird just flew out of the vent and across the room

#

kind of like what you see when they are thrown in jail

#

but smoking

clear patrol
#

ooo yeah

clear belfry
#

maybe it could be just once a game and the grenade just blows up if a meeting is called

clear patrol
#

I mean I actually with the role. If you just add a tag that it can only spawn if there is a mechanic or a pigeon in the game.

clear patrol
clear patrol
clear belfry
#

you mean like birdwatcher?

#

duckwatcher?

clear patrol
#

except permanently on, duck sided, colourblind, and not in flashlight mode

#

Stalker Duck?

#

idk names don't exactly come naturally to me

clear belfry
#

I think it would be fun to be able to tag someone and always know how to find them

clear patrol
#

Yes

clear belfry
#

like an arrow tells you where they are at all times unless they are dead

clear patrol
#

I love that

clear belfry
#

a true stalker duck

#

and you can only choose a new target if your previous target has died

#

it would be just my luck with a role like that to always find the canadian and tag them.....

storm crescent
#

Is it possible to have a Duck that can't kill?

clear patrol
#

What if its teammate dies?

clear patrol
clear patrol
storm crescent
clear patrol
#

or at least win the game

clear belfry
clear patrol
#

I mean it can still kill, just very indirectly

storm crescent
#

Ooh... I have an Idea. A Duck that can't be voted off, but it can kill anyone it sees. I call it "The Alien".

clear patrol
#

but like

clear belfry
#

but then there would be no way to stop it

clear patrol
#

how are you suppose to eliminate it

#

without a sheriff/vig

clear belfry
#

who could have died first

storm crescent
#

Well... I didn't say it can't be killed. So... yeah it can be killed.

clear patrol
#

So it can be killed, but if it is the only killing role outside of ducks, then it can't be eliminated by killing or voting

#

It needs some non-role dependant weakness

#

like votes only count if the geese who voted them have done all their tasks.

#

Meaning its hard to vote

#

but possible

At the start of each round you are told a role is present in the game but not who it is. Basically can eventually narrow down claim space but it takes a long time to efficiently narrow down who can be what.

( not yet finished )role
Name :- Swiss Duck/Goose
Story :- His parents are the lovers one so he didn't see duck as the bad guys and goose as the good guys thats why he doesn't know if he should help ducks or goose
Abilities :- Can Ducks always see you as a goose even if you are on the ducks team but you (if youre on a duck team) can see other ducks
Goal :- if(Player.Team == "Ducks"){
Win with the ducks
}else{

}
Team :- Ducks/Goose (choosed Randomly on the start of the game)

Pluses :-
1.Can be usefull on any team

Minuses :-
1.Both Teams cant trust you

north pewter
#

So you always win? Great! Free silver for all!

marsh whale
#

it gives you a random team ducks or goose

#

if you are goose you dont win with the duck and vice verca

north pewter
#

This just sounds confusing and overall unnecessary

marsh whale
#

you will see what team you are on and you win with your team

#

but both teams always see you as a goose

#

no matter the team you get it would be good for you and for your team

#

but beacuse of that both teams cant trust so saying you are the Swiss duck/goose isnt a good idea in most scenarios

Yes, but the Morphing has the ability to change back, allowing it to still hold up an illusion of being a goose.
Plus, it doesn’t have a counter play in non proxy game (and even then proxy games might not have one either). With Morphing, if someone silently came up to you and killed someone, you can follow them to see if they change back. With this, however, can’t trace who the hider is if they change form.

I think the best counter to morphling is detective, if you think someone is morph, just use the ability on him, after you can find him because you can see the mark

@storm crescent I like the role thats able to run fast but because its instantly confirmable it would be interesting if you only get the speed when the lights are off

Team :- Goose
Goal :- Win with the geese

  1. The kill button should always work, meaning if you click to kill someone they should die, 2. This would actually be a disadvantage to the geese as if the sacrificer just falls over dead there is nothing to deduce about how they died and could potentially also frame someone else for the murder
marsh whale
steep granite
#

Is it Sacroficer Goose or Sacrificer Goose?

marsh whale
#

just not on the person you want

marsh whale
#

i know how to say it

calm hare
#

but how do they tell the kill button worked and isn't just bugged? from their point of view, if the sacrificer isn't around, their kill button just bugged out and didn't work

marsh whale
#

they would see theres a dead body in the meeting

#

and if someone was grouping and the sacrificer dies they would know who the duck might be

calm hare
#

plus there is already a role that does this, the bodyguard, doing this from anywhere on the map really makes the deduction side of the game moot. And to directly quote a certain canadian thunder god, "When it comes to classic+ roles: A kill should always work, otherwise players will think their kill button is broken. It also turns the game into more of an action game rather than a social deduction."

It's not

#

Kills should always work

because the kill button kills, that's what it does

Role: Raven
Role type: neutral
Discription: Ravens are role mimics. First round they won't have a role. But as soon as a meeting is started they can pick a player and mimic thier role for the next round till body or button is called in which they can choose again if they want to. Ravens win as the role type they mimic the most.

Basically put this role give the player the choice to be good or bad in a game. Either to help the geese or the ducks. The dodo role is useless to the raven and raven wins if they are the last standing like the falcon if falcon is their mimic role.

Ravens do not count as another duck if they are as a duck mimic. If there is two ducks the game ends when there is two non ducks still but the raven will appear as a winner if they played duck mostly.

just because they have better vision sometimes does not mean they have night vision

birdwatcher is getting a buff though

%role
Name : Dumb Chicken
Story : It's just an intern chicken. Not very bright. But resilient and good at repetitive tasks. In actuality it's so dumb it can do without it's brains (for some time).
Abilities : It does tasks like any goose will do. And does not have any particular switchable abilities. BUT if it is killed by any other role it will still be able to run around alive (presumably without it's head) for about 10-20 seconds. Not being able to talk or do tasks though. Another passive ability is to being able to win with geese or ducks (but not with any neutral role). Yeah, it's that dumb that it doesn't see any difference.
Team :- Neutral
Goal :- Win with the geese or ducks but only while staying alive.

Kills
Gotta
Work

When you press the kill button, someone else has gotta go squish
This is directly stopping the squish from happening

#

Also try not to make pure kingmaker roles, it has to have a side at the beginning and stay with it so that it doesn’t feel cheap when they help that side win

storm crescent
#

%role Runaway Goose - Neutral - Goal: Complete all tasks and Escape pod tasks on the map to unlock the escape pod. If you escape, you win the game with either the Ducks, Gooses, or Neutral. Just like the Influencer in Agrou. If you're dead, then you're just dead. - Questions: Why is it neutral and not Goose? The reason is because the Goose is very scared of death and must do anything to survive and escape, even if it must throw its fellow goose under the bus. Why does the role must complete other tasks besides Escape pod tasks? Because even though its reason can be reasonable, he's still a goose with a heart. Why add this? It gives opportunity to create counter roles and gives the ducks more reason to target the role. Other things in my mind for this role? in my mind, im thinking that this role is reasonable to be difficult since it wins in the end and joins the spectator.

%role investigater goal:just as the other geese complete tasks to win but the investigater can see foot markings of all other geese and ducks that has walked that place the last 30sec after 30sec the foot markings will slowly start to seace to exist this role will also show things like you went into a vent it stops at the vent you went out of a vent it starts at the vent this role will not show who the goose or duck was that walked the specifik places it is mostly made to see who went through a vent fx and cooperating with the other whom may have seen them there at that place

viscid coral
#

Party Duck buff idea: After using the skill on the player and the player dying with skill, he becomes a fake Celebrity that will alert all players (Gee, Ducks and Neutrals) [Ducks and Neutrals will have a party sound like a party horn] . The idea is to give more strength to the Party Duck skill and make the celebrity less strong than it is. As Canadian vs Professional.

#

Silencer Duck buff idea: When using the skill on the target 30 seconds later the target player will not be able to press the emergency button, the target player will also be silenced after this time until the meeting is called and ended. The idea is to give the Silencer Duck's skill more strength and make him stronger than he is, as in private rooms it is very simple to find out who the Silencer was and makes the skill practically useless in the endgame of a private room.

calm hare
#

First things, as I recall, the party duck isn't there to do anything but party and bring a bit of levity to the game. In addition, the party ducks ability to completely derail meetings once the partied person starts talking is pretty powerful.

Second, removing someone's ability to press the emergency button is going to make people think that the game is bugged, same as if someone pressed the kill button and it doesn't work

viscid coral
# calm hare First things, as I recall, the party duck isn't there to do anything but party a...

In most games the Party and Silencer are deactivated because they have useless abilities. So my idea is to give more strength to make a class relevant like Professional and Assassin.

About the "bug" aspect, a message will appear after 30 seconds "you have been silenced by a duck, wait for a meeting to start and end to speak again". Then the player will know just like the Demolitionist Duck message.

calm hare
#

I have played a lot of GGD and have never had the silencer or party off. Both have their uses if you use them right. Each class has their own weakness and it is all based on how you use them. As far as the message you mention, let's say i get such a message, i've only been around one person. Now i know who that duck is and can inform everyone before the meeting who to vote for

That is also a personal opinion, I love being party and silencer because the roles are fun to play

?

I've seen so many professionals get voted off because people walked towards them and autoreported an invisible body

But, as i said, this is all based on personal preference. Just because you feel the role is useless doesn't mean other people view it the same way

marsh whale
#

i actually think that the cannibal duck is a bad role

#

i really like the Silencer

calm hare
#

I like the cannibal as well, especially if you wait til late game to eat anyone

#

Each role really depends on how YOU, as the player, use it

#

and it is fine to not like a role

marsh whale
#

the party isn't needed but it doesn't change much of the game so it's acceptable for me

viscid coral
# mint gale Pro is arguably one of the worst IMHO.

Man, Professional is literally the best class in the game and the only class that can kill without worry (Canadian), that's why the cooldown for kills is so high initially. Only a bad or unlucky Pro doesn't like being a Pro.

marsh whale
#

i wouldn't say that

#

i think the assasin is better then professional

#

yeah he has pluses but he has some major minuses

viscid coral
calm hare
#

Again, this is all based on personal preference, and how you play the game. Everyone has their favorites and then some people have roles that will make them stand in front of the shuttle

I'm saying this because if the game had a tier list, these two would definitely be at the end of it in the game's meta.

Also if possible; when not moving, the role can see footprints made by nearby goose/neutral/duck movements. Either behind the wall or nearby. - Why add this? Seems a good way to scare people and sneak away from potential killers.

I dont think I get the hate on Party Duck so much. I've played it quite a few times. And it defiantly is useful. It derails entire conversations and has saved my Teammates multiple times. I find it as a better version of Silencer. Especially cause lots of people typically don't try to think back at all they talked too after being partied. So you can party the same person twice in a row and usually they can't place together who it is. And I see people say "It lost its punch" But even if that were true. Listening to the main person giving info in that voice and trying to sound so serious. And laughing yourself can trigger others to laugh. My only issue with Party is I cant imagine it being helpful if people didnt have mics. Maybe it can make words look weird. I think thatd be a fair idea. Though tbh it wouldnt matter to me.

#

Maybe Party could have a Silencer ability to those that type instead. Give them something wouldnt be a bad idea.

Me role ideas, some I posted before, here is the list.

Geese Team happy
-Lawyer - Vote counts twice.
-Deputy - Similar mechanics to assassin but can only make one shot.
-Trapper - Sets up a killing trap for ducks. (once per round)
-Exorcist - Sees duck ghosts and banish them to limbo. (meaning they can't sabotage)
-Psychic - Can sense nearby birdies on close proximity. (arrow pointers)
-Mayor - All players knows their role. (default target for hitman, cannot be assassinated)
-Janitor - Can see and identify tracks on sweeped floor.
-Owl - Can see in the dark, identifies bird roles.
-Journalist - Reveal voting once per game.
-Engineer - Can fix and defuse sabotages for a timed duration.
-Doctor - Dis-infect pigeon and cleanse gasoline once per round.

Duck Team angry
-Mastermind - Assign real tasks to geese to prolong their game, manipulate a random vote on themselves.
-Swicheroo - A goose sliced by a duck makes them a duck, can always be killed by sheriff.
-Abduckter - Can kill a goose and duct tape another. (keeping them as live bait for the round)

Neutral dodo
-Kamikaze - Carries a suicide vest kills whoever is nearby including themselves obviously. (wins by killing everyone that remains)
-Parrot - A neutral that can pirate duck sabotages. (hijacks falcon's default wins)
-Arsonist (possibly duck)- Spills stinky gasoline on birds that lasts for the round, can ignite all at once. (idea from another game)

%role
Toxic duck - You can put a genetically modified baby stunk in somebody.
I have 2 ideas for that:

1st - it's the kill button, like the demolist, but the player with the stunk starts farting, and it is so strong that after a while the player die, and if players stay next to it for 20 seconds they die too, being this time for the whole game (you can know how much you need to die, like the circle cooldowns), the stunk stay next to the body.

2nd - It's an ability, the player with the stunk becomes immune to the toxicity, but the effect it's the same, and the time being 30 seconds.

I used a translator.

%Role: Carrion Crow

Role type: Neutral

Discription: You win if you guess the job of a living person while you're in a meeting. You cannot report the body. And you cannot call an emergency meeting.

I think this class should use 1 out of 3 as a condition to win the game.

  1. When you first start the game, the number of jobs you must match is determined by the number of players. For example, if there are 12 players at the start of the game, you must match 6 living people's occupations during a meeting to win.

  2. When you have a meeting, the number of jobs you need to fit changes according to the number of living people. For example, if there are 12 players at the start of the game and 10 are alive at the time of the meeting, you must match 5 jobs out of 10 alive to win.

  3. You must match all occupations of living people. For example, if there are 12 people at the start of the game and only 3 people are alive at the time of the meeting, you win by matching the jobs of 3 living people.

I think the existence of these classes can a little prevent players from sharing classes with each other during meetings.

Imagine a role where anyone you vote for, even if there are more votes for another person, they get voted out. This would probably be too OP though.

They could only do this one time though

#

Vigilante has the downside of leaving a body and having to explain, Sheriff has the same AND can die if they shoot a goose.

gusty bone
#

But they aren’t guaranteed to be in the game. Also, vigi can only kill once and Sherf dies on any mis-kills, so they aren’t a reliable way to eliminate ducks, just a helpful bump at best

tribal gorge

True

#

What about a role that can maybe turn invisible and perform an action like kill or just walk around? Kinda like mechanic but maybe a higher cooldown?

#

Basically a snoop but altered?

How do you counter being invisible?

Maybe the detective could receive a notification when someone's gone invisible?

Ducks going invisible is not the end of the world we did have some ideas for a Predator Duck

%Role

Name : Mine Duck
Team : Duck
Goal : Win with the ducks

Discription : You can place mines in any area you want. If 3 or more living people are in a location where a mine has been placed for more than 10 seconds, randomly kill 1 player in that location. Ducks on the same team can die, including yourself.

Once placed, mines cannot be placed again until they kill other players or the round is reset.

Questions:
Can other ducks see the mine (i’m assuming geese can’t because that would be stupid)
How many mines can it place in a round/whats the cooldown
Does it have a normal kill button/can it vent/sabotage?
Is there a way to distinguish a mine kill or does the victim just explode (pun intended)?

fervent pasture
#

I think it would be nice if more jobs were added to check the geese flocking too much. So it's kind of like a Demolitionist Duck.

Ducks can see land mines. Only one mine can be placed and cannot be undone, but can be re-placed by killing another player. I don't think a normal kill button is necessary as mines explode when there are 3 or more living people in the mines.

I didn't even think about cooldowns and corpses.

However, they could be killed like any geese without the protection function being on.

My idea is a new neutral that makes the game more fun (Not that the game needs it) it would have two abilities:
In the first or second meeting he can choose a player and he would win with that player (If he doesn't choose until the second meeting the choice will be random) so he could win with several roles that only win alone like the dodo, vulture the pigeon and the falcon, in addition he could also win with the ducks geese and the lovers.
His second skill would be like party duck's he could shift two players per round and those players would get their mics switched at the next meeting.

Name : Crowd Duck
Team : Duck
Goal : Win with the ducks

Description : Unlike other ducks, you have no kill motion. By pressing the kill button you can kill nearby players without taking any action.

However, if you kill someone, all players will know that that player is dead. If you are alone around a corpse you killed, you will automatically report it. Also, you won't be able to see any corpses other than the ones you killed, and you'll automatically report them if you go near them.

It's not suitable for killing single players, but I think it's a good job for sneaking kills when there are a lot of people in a group.

#

I am back for the bodyguard (if this one fail I will just stop thinking for the bodyguard)
I thought of giving him a better or easier way to protect the target.
He has the ability to put a shield on his target that he can only see, to make it easier for him to protect the target without looking suspecius and it give him the chances to finish his tasks, but the shield will break when the hitman try to kill him, and he only got two chances for the shield the whole game.
I think this idea is better than the first one. This can give more chances for the hitman to kill and the bodyguard to continue the game without being voted out or assassinated.

#

When the bodyguard use his two chances he can stick to his first ability which is following his target

gusty bone
swift flame
gusty bone
# swift flame What do u mean

Every protective power needs to also allow the kill button to work (Canadians auto report, Gravy's deflection, Bodyguard's hit taking) all of these give a layer of protection to the goose with them, but still result in someone dying when the kill button is pressed. If a power just straight up stops a kill, then the killer would think that their game is bugged if it isn't telegraphed. Even if it is telegraphed, it adds a lot more insecurity about the kill button in strategic situations, and will make the meta turn towards a more "just kill someone" attitude rather than trying to plan out kills and strategies.

swift flame
#

This can do or we put something like a sign that there was shield that broke and it works for hitman or any duck who tried to kill the target?
I think both can do and we can leave it to the creators for better choice

#

I am thinking of something that won't kill

#

If we thought about the broken shield appears to the person who tried to kill the target, it will make it funnier cause what if the person who tried to kill the target was a vig or sheriff

%role Zombie Duck (Duck) (Part 1/2)
Short Description: Once per game, the Zombie Duck can kill itself during a round. If the body gets reported, it will be resurrected at the start of the next round.

Idea: I got this idea after recently re-reading Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” (so spoilers for a 83-year-old book I guess lol). What if a duck could “fake” its own death to rid itself of suspicions only to be secretly resurrected and continue the killing spree (just like Judge Wargrave)?

Gameplay: The Zombie Duck’s extra active ability turns it into a normal-looking corpse instantly. If their body gets reported (and only THIS duck’s body), the Zombie Duck will be resurrected after the meeting alone in an outer location of the map (this could still work without random start locations, only the Zombie Duck spawns separately to keep it hidden). It can’t resurrect if another body gets found (that would be too strong imo), their body gets eaten, a meeting is called via button/bell, or if the Zombie Duck gets voted out.

Strategy: The suicide skill would give the Zombie Duck an option to rid itself of suspicions or give them an easy way out of a bad kill (possibly making it look like a sheriff kill if pulled off correctly, with the risk of the other body being reported). After resurrection, the duck would of course have to stay hidden. If a goose sees the duck alive and remembers they were reported dead before, they can call them out during a meeting. So the Zombie Duck would have to stay hidden after having been resurrected, trying to kill geese one by one without being seen. This should be pretty hard, especially if the suicide gets used early with many players roaming the map, so I hope it's not too strong.

green nacelleBOT
acoustic shard
#

Zombie Duck Part 2/2:
What it adds to the game: Mostly, it adds a deduction aspect, namely the geese having to remember whose bodies have been reported. If they stumble across a supposedly dead player during a round, they’re better off running to push the button and calling them out immediately. At the same time, it adds a unique duck ability to the game that, if used correctly, can “clear” a duck that has already been heavily sussed.

Problem #1: The biggest question is how to deal with the Zombie Duck’s status during meetings after it has resurrected. The simplest way would be for it to appear alive again, but that might be too obvious if even one player remembers that their corpse was reported before. My idea would be for it to appear dead (usual skull symbol) but for the player to still be voteable. I’m not completely happy with this myself and I don’t know if that would work, maybe someone else has a better idea?

Problem #2: This isn’t really a problem but more of a balancing idea: To make it stronger/weaker, the duck’s skills after resurrection might change. For example, the kill cooldown might increase/decrease for them, or they might lose the skill to vent (as venting might make it too easy to remain hidden). Of course, this is something that would have to be decided by the devs after testing it in-game. Another option might be for the Zombie Duck to be able to choose when they want to be resurrected, e.g. if they have to use the suicide early when there’s still too many players around they can simply wait for a few rounds before resurrection (which would still have to be at the start of a round of course). On the other hand, this might fail to punish early suicides and make the role too strong, so idk.

Final thoughts: I hope I was able to explain my idea properly and that you like it! Just in case this specific idea was brought up before: I was not aware of that and I’m sorry, I did not steal this from anybody! Thanks for reading!

not sure if that violates the entire "no resurrection" policy or not. sounds like a very troublesome role to work out the mechanics of all around

3 Roles

Scientist- Neutral - Win Condition - Successfully Poison X amount of targets.. Targets must die to poison or die while poisoned.--Ability: Can tag multiple targets each round with 40 second CD (can be longer/shorter with toggle) --- Poison is a client side visual but slowly noticeable. Your screen starts filling up slowly, takes approximately 60-120 seconds for your screen to completely fill (Color chosen by devs) --- At Meetings all players poisoned will show to others with their Avatar Bars showing how full / close to death they are. Poison carries through after meetings. Voting off a Poisoned player does not count towards win condition.

Doctor-Goose- Win Condition -Goose-- Ability: Can cleanse one bird each round, does not know if player is poisoned unless they notice during Meetings.

Disco Duck - Duck- Win Cudition - Duck-- Ability: Can't Vent, Instead after a 30 second CD they can tag a player who's screen gets filled with a Disco Ball (vision friendly) for 3 seconds and their screen gets mirrored until next meeting. (movement keys stay the same, hitting left still moves player left on screen) OR (movement keys mirror with map, hitting left goes right)

Name: Sniper
Class: Duck
Ability: The duck fires a projectile that can be controlled, that projectile gets faster and faster until it collides with a player or with a structure (wall, door...). The duck cannot kill other way and cannot move while controlling the projectile, but can hear what is near to him.

so, as a mechanic, i had considered a similar 'faking your death' type of gameplay in a future 80s horror themed map

sudden rampart
#

where there would be less ducks in a game (maximum 2), but they would have different abilities and what not

#

as an ability, they could fake their death earlier, but progress slower in other ways.. and the idea was essentially that you could still vote out a 'dead' player

the other side of it was that the longer they were 'alive' the stronger they got in their killer form

%role Crossbreed Goose: Has 2 abilities, each one being a goose role's ability with twice as long cooldown, but does not know what they are at first. You can use them, regardless if they work or not at their given circumstance. These cannot be passive abilities like the Canadian or technician. This might violate the "buttons must work" rule but I thought it would be intresting to create powerful combinations, but at a risk. It's probably not a great idea in hindsight, considering you can accidentally sheriff kill you and someone else but with abillities like medium and birdwatcher, it could give you a reliable feedback to what you are.

Two Ideas I've had running in my head:
New Neutral, the Cuckoo: At the start of each round gain the abilities of a random role. If that role would win, you win as well. Your tasks are fake. I saw the form and should I fill it out? I wouldn't mind filling it out in detail.
Adjustment to the Mortician: Having a arrow pointing to bodies would be Overpowered, but I feel its too rare to find a body (especially in lobbies without prox chat) Is there a middle ground where you essentially get a hot or cold indicator as you get closer and further from a body, that gradually comes into focus the longer a body sits there?

void halo
#

Cuckoo is essentially a team swapper, which is a no-no

sonic prism
#

Actually, know that I think about it, a "multi role" mode sounds a lot better where everyone gets 2 abilities

severe sluice
#

They'd never see who were ducks etc and would not count as a duck for determining win conditions.
Is that still too much for team swapping?

void halo
#

Any adjustment to give the Mortician a body indicator makes it a stronger Medium and would essentially have two abilities

severe sluice
#

with the indicator very gradually coming into focus I was hoping to keep it away from the very sharp knowledge that the Medium gets, but yeah... any adjustment does make it more powerful.

sonic prism
#

Medium's in an odd spot, not really sure how it could be reworked without it being broken, either extremely powerful or extremely useless

void halo
#

If it gradually comes into focus as you get closer to the body, it is an instant indicator if a murder happens nearby. Say if you're in the mayor's office and someone kills in the barber shop.

I could maybe see it working if it was strictly on a time delay. Maybe ten seconds after a body drops, you get a really big red Technician-like circle on the minimap that slowly shrinks down to the actual location

sonic prism
#

That sounds a lot better than spamming the check for ghosts button and then running around for bodies

severe sluice
#

Yeah something like the that! Thats a much better way to describe it that walking a getting a hot or cold indication.

And yeah Medium is in an odd spot... it was way too OP before, and is fairly weak now.

  • igniting a doused player kills all doused players
  • ignited bodies are shown as regular corpses on fire and can be reported and eaten
  • Killing a Canadian or a celebrity via ignition triggers their death effects
  • the detective will see doused players (and the inferno duck) as a fire emoji instead of the normal ones

%role The Parrot (Neutral role) "Kill someone to take their role" The Parrot gets one kill shot and they adopt the role of the Goose/Duck/Neutral they kill.

Potential win cons: Kill and become the Dodo and get voted out
Kill and become a Falcon for a normal Falcon win
Kill and become a Duck creating a win condition for the Ducks (E.g. Parrot, Duck and Goose are last alive. Parrot kills duck becoming the duck leaving just a duck and a goose)
Kill and become a Goose for a Geese win.

Only coding issue I can foresee is with the Lovers as one would have to die which typically kills the other. The lovers could have an even more difficult "Stolen Lovers" win should the Parrot become a Lover and create a Lovers Win Scenario

%role Sacrificial Duck:

A duck with normal killing abilities however, it's primary goal is to be killed by the sheriff or the vigilante. The role would act similar in fashion to the Canadian goose where a report is made after they are killed. This would force the sheriff or vigilante to either out themselves or be made to look like they are ducks. Not only that, it could also bait the Canadian to out themselves as well. This role would work best with an assassin or other duck roles that allow for killing during meetings.

The sacrificial duck could tell the geese that they're a Canadian goose and to be on the lookout for someone that reports them.

%role forgetful goose You are a goose but not told your role, but the ducks do know(cannot be assassinated). Your abillity will be blank but can still be used if applicable. During a meeting if you are confident what you are you can guess your role, you can guess it similar to assassin, meaning if you miss you die, however if you are correct maybe something like instantly completing your tasks and add some extra to the bar, a shorter cooldown on your ability, or some bonus silver at the end of the match, I'm not sure what a good reward would be considering it could be very easy to know.

%role

Dungeon Master / Game Master / etc.
Neutral
Roll Dice to change teams. Other teams do not get notified. Ducks will never think you are one of them. To win, be the winning bird condition's role. Vulture wins, be a Vulture. Dodo, be a Dodo. Geese win, be any goose. You earn a bounty if you win.

Ability: Do a Fake Task and you automatically roll two dice. Dice A decides if you are a goose, duck, or neutral. Dice B decides which role you are, aka if Goose; Sheriff/vig/etc. If Neutral: Falcon, dodo, etc.

To win, be alive when the win condition matches your roll. If Duck wins and you are a Goose, you lose.. If yo are a duck you win. If you roll to become a Dodo and you are alive when Dodo gets voted out, you win. Winning screen includes you and you stand out.

Dice A has a chance to roll Death. Upon that roll a randomly colored dead body is dropped at your feet. Body is reportable / edible. If you roll Death while in Professional form it will be invisible and auto-reported to Geese, you could potentially do another task and auto-report the body. Fake bodies that are reported but the owner of that color is alive gets the "FOUND" attached to their portrait in meetings.

Every task you do rerolls your dice. Feel ducks are winning, try to roll and become one! To win Vrs. Falcon either kill the real falcon or be alive when it's hunt timer finishes.

Careful if siding with Geese as you likely won't have a kill option and you could end up claiming a taken goose role. Also, this leaves games to have possibilities of 2 Canadian auto-reports.. 2 Celebrity notifications.. 2 Professional ducks... and 2 Bomber Ducks... Just imagine 2 bombs ticking at once.

Remade my old role ideas

Owl:

Summary: The owl tracks a player, being able to hear and see everything that player does. After another CD, can shock them, announcing to all players that someone has been shocked.

Can place a tracker on a player. A tracked player will have their camera and all audio relayed to the Owl. Additionally has a shock button, killing a player and only leaving a pile of ashes(reportable, can not be eaten by vulture and cannibal, can not be inspected by the mortician). When this happens, a shock sound is globally played.
The Tracker/Shock ability has the same cooldown as kill cd(takes one kill cooldown to track a player, and another to shock them). The owl can only track one player at a time. Trackers are removed after meetings

Win Condition: Same as Falcon

Can this idea be put in without massively overhauling the rules of the game?
Yep

Does this idea make for a more fun experience without being at the expense of other players?*
About as fun as pigeon.

Does it make sense from a thematic point of view?
It’s a high tech bird.

Does it generate a win-condition on it's own and if so does it have no conflicts with existing roles?
Its the same win condition as falcon

Does it make the game more interesting for everyone playing?
I could see it being fun for the falcon, and presence of the possibility of oh god am I being watched is pretty funny if not anything else.

Is my role not ridiculous enough to be featured in a Sundee click bait video?

Weak if anything

#

Ruler Duck:

Summary. Can reveal to be the Ruler Duck, gaining 1 extra vote plus an extra vote per dead duck for the next meeting, and a normal amount of votes after that. When revealed, all players will know the Ruler Duck’s role is, and the Ruler Duck has a double kill cooldown.

The Ruler Duck activates their ability like an assassin duck. When revealed, all players see the role of the Ruler Duck like they see their own role in meetings, and see a red name during gameplay. The Ruler Duck’s votes are not anonymous. Additionally, the Ruler Duck has a double kill cooldown to allow roles like vigilante and sheriff to take out the Ruler Duck.

Can this idea be put in without massively overhauling the rules of the game?
Yes

Does this idea make for a more fun experience without being at the expense of other players?*
The hype moment of the Ruler Duck revealing and clutching the game is a moment every bird will feel absolute hype for.

Does it make sense from a thematic point of view?
If there’s a will there’s a way.

Does it make the game more interesting for everyone playing?
I mean it would get more birds to start going down on their hunches due to their fear of a ruler duck.

** Is my role not ridiculous enough to be featured in a Sundee click bait video?**
When compared to “Fat Baby” role anything sounds good

#

Seer Goose:

Summary. Can sample a player and scry them for 10 seconds.

This is a two-part ability much like my Owl and the Morphling. The first ability will place a scry on a player, and the second will display what that player can see. While scrying someone, you can not move. Additionally, players will know when they are being scryed.

Can this idea be put in without massively overhauling the rules of the game?
Yep

Does this idea make for a more fun experience without being at the expense of other players?*
I mean I would find it fun just to see what others are doing

Does it make sense from a thematic point of view?
Magic:™:

Does it make the game more interesting for everyone playing?
I mean it would be interesting how players react to being scryed

** Is my role not ridiculous enough to be featured in a Sundee click bait video?**
When compared to “Gummy Bear” role anything sounds good

%Role Macaw(Neutral)

As long as she is alive, the ducks only win by sabotage and the geese only win by tasks.
The macaw could only kill once and would win being among the last three survivors, so in every meeting it can choose two people to change skins during the next round (People who changed skins will not know they have their skin changed and will appear as if they had their normal skin to themselves) Plus the macaw cannot choose the same people during two meetings in a row.

The macaw's problem is that she can only kill once and has to be among the last survivors, this would force her to use her two skills strategically to make the others voted and she survive.

Really like the idea behind Seer Goose and the Owl.
The idea of just being spyed upon is great esp with the Owl being an enemy. Seer Goose is pretty powerful though... and it is pretty much just a better birdwatcher.
Does making Seer Goose idea use sound instead of sight keep it distinct enough from Birdwatcher, but retain the same idea?

With Owl, would it be too OP for when lights go out to see the outlines of nearby players? The idea being they can hear them and tell where they are, just not tell what color they are.

Also, what if the tracker shock kills took two shocks across the whole game to kill a player, with a short 10 second KD between them.
If you are very lucky a quick button could save you and/or just enough time to yell your sus while panicing histerically. This would prevent button camping as the second shock in the next round would be fatal.

#

Or maybe have a button not remove the tracker entirely.

That gives it counter play then, still feel like as a neutral it steps on Falcons toes, but if it were a Duck it's similar enough to Demo that it would be boring I think.

severe sluice
#

Which is the main problem...
I guess its possible to impliment a game can only have a Falcon or and Owl but that starts getting into deeper change.
That and Falcon is just simply the Duck on his own team. Owl is more complex.

void halo
#

The Falcon is weaker than the Duck (no venting, sabotage, or special abilities)

#

Even a single plain Duck is much stronger than Falcon

severe sluice
#

That too.
Hopefully the idea where it takes significantly more time to kill someone as Owl is enough to keep that balance.

I wonder if there is a way to balance it where the Owl wins if they kill all other neutrals... theres a lot you could do with the basic idea of a more stealth based killer on his own team.

#

OK I like this idea of hunting the Neutrals a lot the more I think on it.
It complicates the decision of wether to vote a Falcon out in the early game, as once identified they can be then removed at any time, but the Falcon has by far the best chance against the Owl.

#

Depends on how large a shift in the Meta this could cause...

void halo
#

Would the owl have to personally kill all the neutrals or would they win as long as all the other neutrals died no matter how they died?

#

Either way is problematic

severe sluice
#

I was thinking if they were last Neutral left and directly killed atleast one Neutral. Ofc the prob should be a minimum of 4 Neutrals to be allowed. 3 for sure.(including Owl). Considering you'd never want to vote out a Dodo, and it doesnt really matter if a Dodo is alive, and the Owl is announced publicly the first time they shock, it gives players atleast a little time to react.

Having the requirement to personally kill atleast one Neutral gives both time and counter play options (ie if you see someone get shocked, Vig could steal the kill to prevent an Owl win)

The partial vision in the dark Idea also works a lot better if the Owl doesnt care much about ducks.

Betrayer Goose
Role : this one naughty goose decided to betray his herd and joining into the duck. The duck will see betrayer goose as their enemy until he finished all the task.

Betrayer Goose effect:

  • Detective will always give Evil horn indicator after betrayer goose finished task even he has no killing ability.
  • Sheriff can only guarantee Safe-to-kill after he completed all the task.
  • Betrayer Goose Vision is same as goose vision.

**Ability: **Information leak
Only can use after finishing all task.
Betrayer goose able to leak the goose role by touching to their body. For the ability to be succeed. He need to keep close within the target area for few seconds then the target role revealed below target name.
**Cooldown: **30 sec

Win condition: Be the last remaining goose while duck is alive. (Task must be completed)
Lose condition: All duck has been eliminated, Goose team finished the task, Falcon is still alive.

Sheriff will have guarantee kill over betrayer goose after betrayer goose task has been completed.

"Betrayer Goose" Would not be considered a Team Swapping. It'd start evil and end evil. It sounds like it would be a Reverse Mimic. That would reveal roles like as if he had a bomb (Infact a fake bomb ticking would make this role perfect to show that a fake is among them when it doesn't kill someone after the timer is up and they live. Plus then the Betrayer doesnt always exactly pick who they wanted to see if done this way). Just a addition on too that idea. I like this role idea tbh. And they win along side the ducks but they're always blind to this guy and until he sees there roles he's blind to them too. And like a Mimic he would be blind when lights are off and cant do sabotages (Plus he cant hold up a game. If Ducks and Falcon are dead game ends.) And personally I like Ducks being in the dark. So I think the roles the Betrayer finds would be revealed too Betrayer and only betrayer. So if he talks to the wrong Duck he'd get slashed mistaken for a Dodo. But when talking to the right duck he could be a amazing partner. But luck of the draw.

%role Sacrificial duck: Cannot vent and able to place a curse on a bird with very long cooldown, about 45 seconds. When you curse living 5 players a ritual event triggers similar to the falcon hunt where all geese are told your identity have the ability to kill specifically the sacrificial duck. If it survives the timer, the ducks instantly win the game. Probably very overpowered but requires the coordination of your team to keep the cursed players alive, and gives a solo duck a chance to win in larger lobbies, where games typically last long.

%role Chicken
you win if you can survive after cheating death
after the meeting after the chicken is killed (or after the meeting where they were voted out), the chicken comes back to life, but can’t talk. Then, a falcon style timer appears and everyone has to try and kill the chicken again, By Whatever Means Necessary.
Also, if the chickens body is eaten by a vulture or cannibal, the chicken is fully killed and does not come back.
This one would act as an alternative to the dodo/DuDd (only one of the three will appear in game) and it’s timer is always 2 seconds longer than the set falcon timer (falcon wins in a 1v1)

I think that might just skirt around the no resurrection rule, as the Chicken has no interest in trying to communicate who the killer is by circling around them. Would be an easy kill for the Duck/Falcon. Interesting

gusty bone
#

Yeah, I also think it could add a bit of nuance to killing/eating roles as a duck might have to act like a Vigi/Sherf to spread who the Chicken is to everyone else, or the geese might want to keep a vulture around to gobble up any potential Chickens

#

Could create a lot of “enemy of my enemy” situations

This is exactly the sorta thing my idea of an Owl does (my idea hunts the Neutrals)
Creates scenarios where you don't vote out the Pigeon to prevent Owl win for example.

Chicken might work better to that end though. Imagine the panic and chaos that will cause for a minute.

🪖Soldier Goose

  • Has body armor. When a killing role attempts to kill the Soldier, then the killing role and potentially the duck team if a duck attempts to kill, is then notified that the target is the soldier.
  • The Soldier is then notified by the next meeting that the armor has been broken.
  • Balance: I see this as a simple and fake-able investigative tool. If the soldier’s armor is broken at a meeting, the players next to the soldier the previous round is a potential suspect, while also making the soldier vulnerable to die by the player that attempted to kill them or even other killing roles.
  • Counter-play: Thanks to the killing role knowing who the soldier is, this role can be faked by an evil killing role or even cleared.

%role
Class: Duck
Name: Shaman
Ability: The Shaman can steal the ability of any bird for 1 turn, 15s after stealing the ability he acquires it for himself until the end of the next vote. For example, if he stole the Sheriff's skill he could do a double kill alone, however when using the Sheriff's skill he would die if his target was a goose. In the case of the Dodo, all the ducks would win along with the Shaman if he was expelled while he had the Dodo's powers.

Would the target still have and be able to use their ability?

#

And would you have to be in close contact with the target to use their power?

I was thinking about it too, I would like him to lose the skill until the end of the next vote. However, I don't know if that would make the class too strong.

So be close to someone and you can use the ability then 15s later you can use their power the rest of the round. Gameplay wise, I think it might work, but it may be resource intensive for mobile

I am going to kibosh this. The amount of code that would need to be reworked to make this function would be extensive and would require a partial rework of how we do our abilities. This would also require a full back-end rework to prevent this role from becoming a tool for hackers to literally gain access to any ability while being any role. This is a no go.

But I still thinks would be cool a duck with something similar.

%role
🎯Sniper Goose

  • Helps the geese by guessing duck and neutral bird roles during meetings. Is limited to two shots. (A good Assassin Duck)
  • Balance/Further Description: With this simple assassin clone being on the goose team, it’s recommended to keep this role secret amongst the group to not create a target for ducks and other evil killing roles. This also can create a more stacked meta with two shots not meaning the assassin duck is done with shots.
  • Counter-play: Can be seen as the assassin duck, and can be noticed by an assassin during meetings and vise versa.

%role
☮️Pacifist Goose

  • During meetings the pacifist can protect a player to make them immune to being jailed.

The politician only protects themselves and only if they're tied for most votes

Maybe the pacifist can just keep the chosen player from going to jail then

mint gale

We don't want to make more roles to keep people out of jail. We have exactly the right amount of people going to jail as we want right now 🙂

Going to jail is a good thing for geese FYI, it gives them an alibi in some ways

🦉Owl
Color: Brown

  • They are given a target to be voted out (This target will always be a goose).
  • The Owl has to vote out that player in order to win.
  • (I’m not sure what would happen if the targeted goose does die, please give suggestions. The best idea I can think of is maybe the owl just dies if the target dies, but that might be to much for lovers and a sheriff misfire potentially existing in a round, again give some suggestions)

Same can go to the officer idea I had, it was a good snitch duck and I wanted to mention it because players don’t realize that the snitch can be easily called out in public voting, even if it is not the popular choice of gameplay, it’s still there as a problem.

%role
🦅Eagle
Color: Purple

  • If the eagle is alive no one can win unless it’s, a Goose task win, a Duck sabotage win, a Dodo/Dueling Dodo win, Vulture win, Pigeon win, and Lover win. Every other win is not possible if the Eagle is alive, for example if the eagle is alive, the falcon will not have the timer counting down at the last three.
  • Gets additional vote(s) that are one use per vote.
  • Needs to be in the last two to win.
  • Balance/Further Description: This all comes down to people calling it a lazy clone/alteration of the falcon, but I wanted to see how a survivor from Town of Salem would work in this game. With being limited to neutrals that only win alone, a role that would only survive and do nothing truly seemed bland to me, so I wanted to try something different then that. Something’s can be changed here, for example the additional votes could be more than one and maybe some of the win conditions can be blocked or beatable just in case of balancing.

%role Warbler
you win by completing a personal list of tasks. Random birds are told when you complete one

  • Has 1.5x the amount of tasks the geese do
  • Once it completes all tasks, everyone is notified to this, and a timer sabbo starts (5 seconds more than falcon to avoid stalemates)
  • if no one kills the warbler, votes out the warbler, or wins by other means, the warbler wins
  • Whenever it finishes a task, 3 random people are alerted to this fact
  • Cannot win while dead
green nacelleBOT

#

An interesting idea, but with the current requirements I don't see anyone actually playing it if it was implemented. The odds of someone actually finishing that many tasks before the geese finish theirs, or everyone is killed is very slim. Also this gives whoever is the warbler 2.5x the chance to pick up crafting mats, etc

Ireland’s national bird is the northern lapwing. For this role you’re character’s controls are backwards (because you are drunk) and you kill random players at any given time because you’re too drunk to tell the difference on who’s good and who’s evil. You’re also a stand alone character. Your tasks are fake.

%role blinding duck Can drug one player once per round, and 20 seconds into the following round, the drugged player loses their vision meaning they can't see player colors, only gray. Similiar to silencer in that you can shut down witnesses that know too much, without the risk of calling a meeting as soon as the next round starts, but can still communicate although "I just saw gray kill gray, I was with gray the whole time" will not be very helpful.

What about reworking the vulture a little bit...
It's task would not only be eating the carcasses, but also calling the meetings (I mean, they are also kinda dinners)
This would make players be more careful about calling a meeting and vulture could affect this by communicating with others (Most of the time the vulture just depends on Ducks' actions rather than it's own)
Maybe it would only give you just a half of a point, or something, but I think that it would be perfect addition to the game, because now calling a meeting is never a risky action.

Risks of calling a meeting: Assassin, Dodo, removing bodies

As Chris said, meetings are also risky. I think Vulture is fine as it is now. It has the dot that points the way to the body and it has almost no cooldown for eating. I find it strong enough. angel

Assasin is the risk of saying others your role, not calling meetings at all, dodo is is rick of voting with no real reason, removing bodies is not really a risk if you know what you are doing

I saw Vulture win in full lobby numerous times. It depends on gameplay and experience of the player. Also the game scenario..

#

I won as Vulture in full lobbies myself. Yep, it's mostly luck to find any bodies, but it's not hard is it sounds. Most risky thing for Vulture is to risk dying when he walks up to the body. Some Vultures are naive and eat bodies in front of vents / hidding spots too.

arctic charm
#

Maybe you seen it numerous times, but whats the real odds of it happening. Maybe the same odds like using the mortician role, almost none. It is not hard, walking and pressing space is really not hard. But it's based on luck. I think it would give people a real risk of using the meeting buttons.
