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.
and that tells you who the diabolist is how, exactly?
people knowing there's a diabolist doesn't spoil diabolist, it means that changing votes (which is common, this is mafia) becomes a huge risk and diabolist achieves its intended effect
i hate calling it diabolist please call it scrutineer
also, it's definitely a sandbox role since in competitive mafia people will simply restrict voting to chat to cheat it, but in closed role setups that won't happen

Because the person would die randomly during the day, it could only have been diabolist that killed them

Don't change the diabolist, it's really good now
The person they cast a spell on dies silently with no message
Sometimes town doesn't even notice that person died
This is good because if there is a death message, diabolist is useless for the rest of the game so don't change it
Kinda makes it a silent spy-killer type role
Even if town knows there's a voodoo or vent, the voodoo or vent can still kill people / confuse people but it would take a really stupid person to die from diabolist again
Or a link to every role , and how it works. Strategies, introduction and bio for every character. And when player gets a role he can click it and be linked to the page that has the info.
I will write it , if we go with that.
But honestly no one is intimidated. Well, sure some people do not know how the role works exactly , so they have to ask everyone... But most people learn by playing. I learned all roles from Sandbox gameplay.
since lucid keeps adding roles and new players have always been intimidated by having to learn a hundred roles to play the game, I have a suggestion for the Learn tab
divide All into Standard and Complete
the Standard tab only includes roles allowed in main lobby (that is, no sandbox roles)
hi lucid u never gave me tokens even though u used my icon for the game stack it (i submitted it under the alt matcha which has since then been deleted) thank u ily if u need anymore mini game icons i got u
They're in the New Roles thread. ChefCrackhead posted Trickster before you posted Deceiver and Diabolist was the name suggested by Ben for the Scrutineer role that sl0nderman made.
That's fine that you want to spare new players from the rare complexities of these things, but not having it as is equally as harmful, and saves the amount of times they'll end up in post game chat asking what the hell happened. Maybe a single page dedicated to listing these interactions would suffice. Even a pinned forum post would probably suffice.
because it's polarizing to new players when these specifics will almost never happen and they're just trying to learn the basic, general function of a role
if you insist, there could be a click-to-expand "interactions" tab in role descriptions that state unique interactions between that role and others so new players aren't overwhelmed
i'm fully in support of this, but i would change the terrorist/bomb interaction to be that if terrorist hits bomb, it kills another random player in addition to both of them
