Hello Sandboxers. Lucid is interested in making new roles, and I know you guys have a bunch of good ideas, so what I'd like to do is get a list of all of the best ideas in this thread and have a poll that you guys can vote on for lucid to make.

On an unrelated note, if you guys know of any bugs with existing roles, please PM me so I can test it out and forward it to lucid so they can get fixed

I just checked and it seems to work with classic icons (on the learn tab at least, and if it works there, it should work everywhere), you just probably have to clear your cache.

should probably update the description of cupid, also the icon doesnt seems to be working with classic icons?

Since the discussion is specifically about making it more balanced, everything has to be ignored, kind of. This version could be fairly decent, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have yet another role that only works in setups very specifically made for that role (just like civilian) (in other words, a role that can ruin games even with non-closed roles easily if the setup isn't carefully made).

i mean you can ignore that there has been a ton of discussion and the role has specifically been about knowing who the mafia are

"Knows all mafia roles" (without a single mention of names) vs "actually knows the mafia"

first decide what are you even speaking about

>mole is a garbage version of agent
how do you even compare the two roles
agent contacts roles and doesnt know
mole actually knows the mafia and has to find a way to out them without being caught

yea forget about the mole, too hard to balance..


Mole:
Knows all mafia roles.
Mafia get a day meeting to guess mole.
If guessed correctly, they win.
If guessed incorrectly, one is revealed.

Day meeting makes it so mole can't just shout out the roles and get lynched.
Balanced.


i.e. mole is just a garbage version of agent (basically weak agent giving maf the extra possibility to try to yolo when they are screwed)

thanks but no

Lucid, similar to cupid, you should make the "Siblings" role, which is common in forum mafia.

Siblings:
One is mafia
One is town
If one dies, they other dies
They both win if they both survive to the end.

You could program it so that if anyone tries to put a sibling in the game, it'll say "There must be two!"

sorry last question, does the win condition for the two people that cupid chooses change? (do they also win, along with cupid, if they both stay alive)


the way i played it is that they both win if they are alive at the end in addition to their regular winning conditions (so it would be like a double win), but that would probably be hard to balance specially in ranked, so just keeping their own conditions would be good enough


they should get one point extra for staying alive

I think it would be more interesting if their win conditions stayed the same. This way if Cupid makes a fool and a villager fall in love, it gives Cupid even more of a challenge

is cupid third party or sided with the town? if cupid dies, can he/she still win if his/her lovers are still alive?


if you base it on my post then either one works, if you base it on blave's then 3rd.

Scot (new name, its namesake is Scot's law which deals with being silenced)
====================
-Visits someone every night and gives them a word
-If the person is mafia or third party and says the word, they will die
-Sided the village
=============
This is a good role because this is a role that voodoo can claim and this person can be accused of being voodoo if they say "Player A say 'meme' and if you dont youre mafia"

I really like the idea of Cupid, especially the maf/town pairing scenario. Also would be interesting in some town/third or maf/third pairings, such as werewolf and celebrity...
