whos the mafia elitist who made this role

#21856

okay but even in a mafia context this is op right

#21857

yea for sure

you could probably make it balanced in a big enough game but like

thats the biggest “i hate claiming” role ive ever seen, probably even more than the lying darkness

#21858

oh yeah no that role is busted

…but if no one claims ever to counter it the game becomes a drag since it only kills every other night

#21859

there are anticlaims ive seen in mafia games that are vaguely similar, in the last game i hosted there was a role that had a pretty similar ability even (that game was also 69 players) (yes that was intended)

the difference being that those are usually one use and also usually have a downside if they mess up a claim lmao

there’s no downside to making guesses every night tho is there?

seems like you could guess 4 peoples roles every night, wouldnt be shocked if it averaged over 1KPN even with minimal claims

#21861

i actually don’t hate this idea but how do you ever make this work in shortform/in-person

#21862

also how does it work if one of them is dead. is there just an implicit you keep this ability

#21863

i think its a demon, so like

mmmmmmm

#21864

ur entire game is just decided onhow many players claim

#21865

hand gestures :wowee:

im assuming it is too and if its not then uh, jesus christ

to be honest tho my knowledge of botc balance is limited

#21866

tbf there are definitely official examples of egregious KPN (see: Psychopath)

but not to this degree

on the other side how does this not just break the game

#21868

assuming you’re sober you either definitely clear 4 players from being the demon or narrow the demon down to 4 players

#21869

this either flops or takes a huge W depending on playercount and their picks

#21870

tbf this script does have lil monsta in it. and maybe maybe in that scenario it doesn’t completely break the game. maybe.

#21871

in a 7p hitting demon is suboptimal but in 15p hitting demon is instant balloonist info which is probably a good win

#21872

psychopath is funny though

#21873

yes but it is undeniably kinda stupid strong

#21874

well

until on its home script it proceeds to accidentally give good like 5 shugenja clears
