if we don't want mechanic we should remove cops! they are a subset of justice (though cops have a lower chance of death or reveal from visiting granny/ gramps/ lm)

silencer, fiddler, sniper and paralyzer come to mind, all very below average mafia roles

This sounds all good and all theoretically but in practice, being a useless role sucks and I cannot expect people to be OK with spending 10 minutes of their life in a game "for balance" nor blame them who sui because their role is useless.

What roles exactly are you referring to?

like, it would be better to just remove the crappy maf roles from the setup but since people wont then having a few extra crappy town roles is pretty good for balance

actually umbreon does have a point though, it brings more balance to the official sandbox setup considering town is overpowered in it compared to mafia

Doesn't offer town anything,but does it take away anything from town?


you raise a great point here. It doesn't take away anything from town therefore keep it, guys


It takes the opportunity for town to have a useful role.

ftr there isn't an "official" sandbox set

but i would generally advise keeping it out of your sets. it needs a little more tuning imo (being able to choose people who you want to fix items for would go a long way for the role) but otherwise, avoid it

its still pretty bad

its just a counter against fab, sab and trickster, and the chances of one of those + mechanic being present are already pretty low

mechanic should stay in golbultima with all the other useless roles

Mechanic doesn't necessarily have to be seen as a counter to fab. If you're a mechanic you can count on all your items being real regardless of their source. Keep in mind that trickster can give out fake items too.

a role made exclusively to counter a particlar few roles should not be included in a closed roles game

its like including mortician/pathologist to counter janitor lol

mechanic is in the official setup? who had the great idea lmao read the role before adding it...


I know. I think that after new roles were created, many previously-not-included troll and useless roles such as telepath and snoop were added. They should probably be removed as well.

I thought mechanics can disable bombs too but I guess that's still buggy
