there was another whisper game a while after this that was just kind of a disaster. the hosts did not give mafia nearly enough fake claims but a mafia member somehow got into the cabal after claiming “f bomb.” the flavor was Hamilton. they somehow stayed in the cabal until they accidentally publicly posted a message they meant for mafia chat

it’s an innocent child and a greencheck.
At best. For the mafia team.
Without whispers, I know there’s mafia.gg setups which utilise President, which is “all villagers know you are the president; if you die, town loses”, which is a fun one

one player outs who the king is, preferably the most suspicious one, and the king, evidently
its like getting a free town save

Okay but if that’s all they can do…
It might be balanced, but it’s not particularly interesting.
you turn the d1 town’s exe target into locktown, and have two cleared players
it isn’t.

it also prevents cfd’s until used

what if you just randomly guessed
But imagine this: only the king would know that every good player knows they’re good. An individual good player might just think it’s a friendly neighbour thing, so only the king could enact this RT.
Or an evil but whatever.
We had a DM game where one of the publicly-listed TPRs was fake to prevent town circling but it ended up being a hindrance to the player who randed it because she destroyed the game socially but everyone realised the redundant BG was the deceiver cause there was also a doctor
But she recorded a song parody “I’m a Deceiver” about it so it’s impossible to say if the role was bad or not
well 1. now they’re not you just brought up the concept and 2. still saves a good player from an exe

This is a hypothetical. It wouldn’t necessarily save a good player either because if the king just went “hey, what’s your greencheck?”, and evil might figure that soft out.
and 3. king probably gets like 4 seperate clears if they play it right by just reading into polarized players and how they react

& then we had another game with a Role Deception but it was randed among the existing TPRs. The thing was that nobody knew it was randed so everyone was constantly trying to setup-game the deceiver.
When the only TPRs left were doctor, detective, and vig, with doctor being setup-gamed as not being deceiver (before role cuts, they were in a masonry with a nurse, so people assumed they could never be deception), the detective being socially cleared, and the vig being obviously proven to have shot, several people began to theorise that all the TPRs were real and the deception was actually a VT. The doctor (fake) got voted out that day anyway but only on losing rand in a 3-way tie
how about you do it more subtly
and not in the vague concept that the good team has no idea that they for no real reason just learned someones alignment
“Who’s your top townread?”
what if you [the king] just claimed you learnt they were greenchecked.
“I’m getting voted but I wanted everyone to know that this player was greenchecked.”
King killed immediately.
