important difference between perfume and cologne is that too heavy perfumes make me feel sick and cologne does not do that

the bullet point list with bold titles, between a couple of vague intro and conclusion sentences is a dead giveaway

Cohesion, effectiveness / competence, transparency, reactability, awareness.

I am not going to bother with predictability, because that is the very concept I want to break.

Cohesion of JOATs are generally low, but it doesn’t have to be. One can apply a form of JOAT with a purpose that is basically the same.

Effectiveness… I intended to use the word “power”, but I believe the aforementioned word is a better representation of: “Motion Detector can be considered as the worst form of observation-type investigation.”

Transparency is not a necessity, but when you’re dealing with unpredictability, I believe the players deserve to get hints on what they may or may not be dealing with.

Reactability; something I recently learned from Rhea, and I agree that not being able to react to something (e.g., Gladiator, Lying Darkness) simply sucks, period.

Awareness. I.e., the user is aware what they can do. Considering most of my roles have been understandable, I will continue to put this under low priority, but considering Kiiruma failed to interpret the ability of a role called “Vote Lender” I might have to look further into this. (Perhaps I need to update the captcha to get players to explain their role AND answer an open question about the setup?)


“How to attack security…” FM
Integrity - Corrupted message
Confidentiality - Leaked information
Authenticity - Wrong recipients

Not going to bother with undeniability, because if I breach that, then this game would be outright bastard. (Actually, I forgot what bastard means again, so I wonder if breaching security in itself is already a reason to make this setup ineligible as experimental.)

Cut content.
Role PM infiltration.
High predictable set of options, minimal agency, zero reliability.

…attacking authenticity is easy, and attacking confidentiality is a challenge I’ve had since before Vul retired. (And yes: I can make it fair.)

The issue is actually integrity. In context of communication security, “the message” has to be unchanged. However, if translated to FM, then this would only be applicable to Communicative roles; that’s not versatile enough.

Which is why, I want to change “message” to “ability”. But if I do that, then I would get “a role which corrupts the action of another player” which is basically a good ol’ classic Roleblocker. It isn’t bad, but when I see the word “corrupt”, I want to see another result instead of just “failure”. It has to be meaningful, yet not in a way that is necessarily convenient to the target.

Now, the first thing that comes to my mind is “conditional killing”, which some roles already have. But that’s too powerful and somehow too boring. I usually nerf killing by replacing it with ability removal (vanilla-ize), but this time I want something even more special.

…the issue is that I can’t seem to come up with anything that could be considered as special anymore.

I think i have a very good emotional self regulation i should start answering differently on those quizzes. I struggle to control tears but i manage to control snapping at people pretty well. Its happened only a handful of times over the last 2-3 years. Maybe once every 4-6 months on average. So im pretty zen in that regard, pretty chill. Thats good
