Fixing roles and mafia features

Everyone wants their role to be added. This isn't for everyone.

While lucid is actually active at present, this thread is for fixing roles and mafia-related features. Improving the game itself is more important than adding a bunch of role clones.

Some role fixes

Some mafia features (emjack does all of these)

What should be focused on

Impeaching Bebop

Fixing bugs and role issues

The next Dino Quest chapter

Adding my role suggestion

Adding minigames

lucid since you're making roles bring back the use of role moderators for their intended purpose


Role mod's purpose was to catch cheaters, and they were supposed to be ex banned users, ex cheaters with no chance to be real mods any time soon.


that has nothing to do with roles

role moderators have been repurposed for several reasons, one such repurposing is what you just mentioned and i was a part of

No, it kills you if you change your vote during the day

I think diabolist would be better if they curse some[quote=sl0nderman]What if the diabolist is someone who curses someone to die if they vote a certain player, like cub mentioned earlier.

This would be better

Also Trickster should be more random / have something else

I like it! Split the Scrutineer and the Diabolist into two roles. Sounds good to me.

cub says

although, it could be made competitively viable if it predicts who a person will vote rather than triggering if a person changes their vote

that would be a better implementation overall


And the scrutineer keeps the original idea. Or is that too rehash-y


that would be a redundant role

scrutineer does suffer from predictability and depends on laziness to work, predicting votes would make it impossible to avoid simply by tallying votes in chat first

as-is, it just punishes people for having the convenience of switching votes instead of having to tally in chat first

"crystal, gun, knife, snowball, or vest to a random player each night"

I suggest add a Anarchist bomb to this.

I suggest we name Diabolist after something that casts spells, and is evil. Lich?

How would you make Trickster more random?


The original suggestion had the Trickster see itself as blue, sort of a sleepwalker intended for Sandbox. I don't mind that idea, personally.

I don't know where this magic theme for the role started but I don't really like it.


It started since it was first described as a "vote voodoo." It really doesn't make a lot of sense beyond that, in my opinion.

A scrutineer "is a person who observes any process which requires rigorous oversight, either to prevent the occurrence of corruption or genuine mistakes. It is most commonly known as part of voting in an election, where the scrutineer observes the counting of ballot papers, in order to check that election rules are followed"

I don't know where this magic theme for the role started but I don't really like it.

Scrutineers are vote moderators. I think it works for a name. Diabolist, while a cool name and all, would be better served as a different role in my opinion.

Btw Trickster is neat, althrough not enough random.

So we need a better name for Diabolist? Scrutineer sounds awfull tbh.

Diabolist sounds nice and has a ring to it.

But if you want a new name i suggest : Archmage

Then they could predict themselves and get a free kill

mafia doesn't win by getting lynched to death
