This is going to be a complete mindfuck  no maximum or minimum. but it's pretty standard to have no more than 1 of each blue role.... i doubt that they'd make the entire town all vigilantes in a newbie game lol | ||

I didn't choose the roles, blame Kitaman for that =D Town aligned players will only know their own role. Mafia players will know the role of every other mafia member (due to their ability to communicate privately with each other), but will NOT know if there are any town power roles (Blue roles) | ||

I have to agree. I'm not just a little concerned that, in particular, the Miller, Framer and Godfather roles will turn this into a crapshot. Newbie games tend to favor the scum because they're the ones benefiting from confusion. Those roles add even more confusion because they remove information. And of course not knowing the distribution of roles also removes information and creates confusion. Anyway, that's just my 2c. I'm willing to give it a shot. | ||

Understanding the roles is obviously super simple, trying to processing the information in the game will be a complete mindfuck. | ||

Yeah, if there's one of each of those roles in play, even if the police spots a mobster there's only a 50% chance he's actually a mobster. Of course that's an improvement from 25% at the start of the game but it makes the police worth a whole lot less. | ||

In addition, likely the mods won't screw us too bad, and will probably have a decent amount of roles, not all 11. You didn't read about the framer, did you? Edit: look at this, we're already confused | ||

and like I said, scumhunting in the thread is more useful than a single cop's night checks | ||

I mean I kind of see its purpose because it makes it harder to win with roles and forces the town to root out scum in the thread, like what thrawn said. | ||

Single seers peeks have been invaluable in the games I've watched (not on TL). Of course scumhunting in the thread is completely necessary in any case. | ||

If there only was a cop and no miller/godfather, it just seems like he randomly could find a scum on the first or second night and that would give a huge advantage to the town. Later in the game he will undoubtedly have reads on 2-3 people and it seems extremely powerful. He might be able to finish the game by himself when theres 6-7 people left and maybe he has reads on 2-3 of them. At the right time, he roleclaim and reveals all his reads. He might even sacrifice himself to prove his reads are right and still win. To me that sounds rather boring. Winning as town should be done through successful day discussions, not through a cop randomly hitting perfect reads and then just finishing it by himself. Same thing for example if no one dies at night. If theres only a medic role, he now has pretty huge information. Once again, that seems to give the town a pretty big advantage. However if theres unknown amount of medics, town blockers and mafia blockers, it becomes much more interesting to try and find out what actually happened that night. So Im new and I like the roles at least. :p | ||
