Trying to figure out a new role

almost 8 years

I've been trying to figure out how to balance a new role idea I've had (may well have been tried already ofc.) in which the role can hear what the graveyard are saying (a Medium... ). To make it less overpowered, maybe they shouldn't be able to tell which dead player is speaking (anonymised like after a LK dies)?

Not sure which side they should be on though...

Townsided would be ok, but as a townie will likely die first they could just tell them all the PR roles from N2 (but I guess maf could cc them).

Maf sided would get around this (as by the time the first maf died at least 1 town should be dead and could spam to confuse the Medium).

3rd party would be most fun, but I can't see any reason why either town or maf would want to help them... maybe they could choose to town or maf side somehow?

Anyways, not sure if this is the right place to see what people think... I've created one example role here (https://epicmafia.com/role/16311), let me know what you think, any suggestions, and if this inspires ya to create a better version then so much the better!

Should the medium be town, maf or 3rd party?

that's a nice role idea, but there's no way it's appearing in a ranked setup

This can only be an unranked role, so don't worry about balance.

its a stupid idea, very stupid in fact. the game is over for you when you die and youre free to leave. in a game with medium leaving after dying would be ISP or even GT, that

I've had a similar idea to that too. But, there'd be a lot of meta game involved, I think. I think 3rd party would be best, because you can influence the game so much, and win with whatever side you wish to influence the most. But I dunno, that's coming from a player that only plays classic, so, what do I know? :P Oh well, I like the idea, good luck :)
