What are all of your opinions on this? --JakeTheWolfie (talk) 02:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Given that Town of Salem, Throne of Lies, etc. exist already, I'm interested to see what uncharted design space yet exists.--ChippyYYZ (talk) 03:04, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
Have you heard of the Fourm of Lies? More specifically, Grand Idea. --JakeTheWolfie (talk) 06:45, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Jack Of All Trades

Can you use his copy ability repeatedly to store up multiple copied abilities? Also, this should probably only be able to copy Uninformed Majority abilities since otherwise you can not only identify Mafia you target (This is a powerful investigative tool by itself!), but kill them if you copy a Mafia Killer. I like this card though. Your own idea?--ChippyYYZ (talk) 05:19, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Usually referred to as a JOAT. Maybe it should get a 1 shot of Invest, Protect, Kill, And Distract (Or Occupy). Thoughts on this? --JakeTheWolfie (talk) 05:32, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
A slew of single-use abilities sounds good. And I defer to your judgement if you want to change Distract to Occupy across the board.--ChippyYYZ (talk) 05:40, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
What about this current JOAT? --JakeTheWolfie (talk) 05:42, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
Still a fairly capable investigator, and Social should say "target player cannot be lynched tomorrow", and I would also add Visits where appropriate (if you think Visit is a term worth having, which I think it is), but the rework is good.--ChippyYYZ (talk) 07:06, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Role Types

These could use a line of description each. Mostly I'm wanting to know what is meant by "Offensive". Should Escort and Consort be Offensive?--ChippyYYZ (talk) 07:06, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Alignments

The rules seem to use the undefined term "Team" when "Alignment" is meant. And the rules seem to describe Uninformed Majority as an alignment, when it seems to be a type of Alignment. I propose the following clean-up:

Alignments

There can be any number of alignments present in a game. Instead of a card type, Each role has a single alignment and a role type.

There are four categories of alignments: Uninformed Majority, Informed Minority, Neutral Evil, and Benign Neutrals. A non-neutral role's goal is to kill off all players of other alignments except for Benign Neutrals. Neutral roles each have their own unique goal.

All the same information in a fraction of the space. Since you're putting Neutral Killers' goals on their cards, the rules don't need to define their win condition. This wording gets rid of "Team", though your neutral killers both use the undefined term "major faction". Their goals could be shortened to "Kill all other players except Benign Neutrals."--ChippyYYZ (talk) 07:06, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
I love this. Thank you. --JakeTheWolfie (talk) 14:27, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Bodyguard

"...instead of their target." Ain't too good at his job otherwise.--ChippyYYZ (talk) 05:19, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Escort/Consort

Shouldn't they be Offensive? --JakeTheWolfie (talk) 06:28, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
