The Homeowner’s Association disbanded over a civil dispute in the time since then, you might be disappointed to hear.

it’s really hard to evaluate balance wise. in a big game, there aren’t clear targets. if it’s a villager, it’s even harder and you’re just asking for them to get flamed post-game because they doused a player who turned out to be town leader 3 days later or whatever and it fucked the game for the village. if it’s a wolf role, the best case scenario for the wolves is the game gets to a point where their partner is lolcatting to try to die for the win. And it doesn’t even matter unless there’s a firefighter going nuts because the village can make no good decision in that game state. If too many of the douses are dying or had to be killed because of powerful claims, they have a KP role that is killing less than it should for the phases its been alive, and has to die to get any of them off. there’s a very narrow band of “kills the right amount of people at the right time and hasn’t warped the game”. In a non-mash context, the evaluation is totally different, but I’m specifically talking about for an 80 player role madness game with a lot of zany mechanics and death.

ah
that’s fair
i can kinda see a strong player going “fuck you wolves try and kill me NOW”
but thats not any stronger than a default bulletproof so
i agree that wolf death arsonists tend to be bad tho lol
Honestly in hindsight I should’ve just played arcanist like this

svs on the other hand is weirdly easier to evaluate because even though it could go nuts and kill like 7 people, odds are it’s not. it actually tends to be a pretty consistent 2.5 kills with one of those necessarily being a villager. we can balance around it, and it’s just a really flashy role that makes you think “wow, what if?”

Don’t buy cat ears.
Buy whiskers instead. They communicate how weird you are better.
