Now that the other game has finished, would you be able to in as a player? Or are you still too busy for that?

I think Iā€™ll be able to in as a player now. Iā€™ll send you my choices in a private PM.

/in as a player seat 7.

I donā€™t think I commented on this discussion, so here are my two cents.
This could apply to any evil team composition. BOTC is built on the premise that good can win at any time, by executing the Demon, but evil can only win by playing well the entire game. In a Legion game, good can only make so many mistakes before losing, they have to play well, and evil knows exactly who must die.
(Except in a Poppygrower/Magician game, but letā€™s not go there.)

Legion are incentivised to vote and play cautiously. If Legion double-claim in their bluffs, or double-claim a good player, it might out Legion; especially since everyoneā€™s paranoid if Legionā€™s on the script. Furthermore, lying to a select few players instead of everyone makes you feel less individually important. I would argue thatā€™s the purpose of Legion, though; individual players are disposable. You arenā€™t a pawn, but you are helping to stage the show. That might not be for everyone, but it can fun in its own way.

Oh yeah. Legion + Poppygrower is a whole different beast, because you know most people are on your team, but outing to the wrong player is catastrophic. If it werenā€™t for Legion voting, this would feel brilliant.

Magician + Legion actually makes Magician a good role.

To be fair, thereā€™s on-going game and two signing up.

thatā€™s the issue I think, it will split up the players by large margain

Ehā€¦ In my case I donā€™t want to sign up for a BotF where I donā€™t know which roles may or may not appear. The OP gave a link to the wiki, but I ainā€™t planning to look at them.

Iā€™d rather have vanilla BotF, whatever that may mean.

Weā€™re only using roles from the base three scripts, plus the official experimental roles. There is no homebrew.

55+ Townsfolk
15+ Outsiders
15+ Minions
10+ Demons

Basically 100 possible roles.
Itā€™s just too much headache.

The final script can be expected to have around the same size as the other scripts, which means ~13 Townsfolk, ~4 Outsiders, ~4 Minions and ~4 Demons, with some possible variance where deemed necessary but around that number.

This isnā€™t Fishbucket.

Ehā€¦ If it is public, then sure: Iā€™m in as Seat 11.

Cool. Please send Jarek and I a PM with two characters of each character type whenever you get the chance.

Sorry if the OP wasnā€™t clear enough, I thought it made sense.

Will each person always be one of the 8 roles they sent you two?

I think that worked? Still new to this lol. Will the script be public knowledge after the game starts, or is this just like pure unknowns?

And also also will duplicates be possible (I imagine you could just assign a duplicate Drunk or Lunatic or Marionette if needed.
