Whether is a Sacrificial Reviver or a Universal Backup doesn’t matter, because either way, it doesn’t extend the game while still keeping the possibility of bringing back a powerful role.

that's a good point though, it's going to be a slippery slope if we ban some roles but decide to keep others or if we buff some roles but don't buff others

so I'm leaning towards just keeping the roles as they are

I guess that’s a good point.

But unless the reviver has a backup ability, they essentially become vanilla after the revive. And being vanilla in a role madness sucks. Just ask Joja.

If the revivers are one-shot, that prevents a permanent stalemate and I don't see anything wrong with them, then.

I never said revivers should be multi-shots.

I’m just saying that if it’s the ONLY thing they can do, in a game all about role insanity, it’s not gonna be very fun for them.

Reviving being one-shot is something I couldn’t agree more on.

If someone picks a role that's not fun for them, it's their own damn fault, lol.

Also a good point.

Though we should at least establish a rule where only one reviver can be in the game, even if we agree on multiple people having the exact same role for chaos’ sake.

If town has 6 revivers, that's 6 people unable to do anything else.

Best way to balance the potential for more than one reviver, imo, is to limit any given person to being revived only once. That way the revivers can't just keep bringing back the same person over and over again.

And if mafia are so worried about revivers, load up with roleblockers and keep them in check.

OP Update :'^)

I added Swamp's Hunger Games, FEH 1, Animafia, and the rest of PokeMafia and Mario Mafia.

I've decided to keep roles as is, so that includes revivers; they're staying. Part of the appeal is picking the role you think your side needs and buffing/nerfing/removing roles I feel goes against that. Sorry! :'^(

I have a new poll question, though!

if only I knew how to edit polls :'^)))) I don't think you can, right? You can't edit the poll question?

Fun Fact: Despite missing two of the NZone games, DBZ Mafia and Fate 1 (unless you guys want to include roles from White's GoT and Holder's FFA)

and missing any future games that run before this one does

there are 151 roles in the OP :'^)

I think you need the mod of this section to do that, and I can't tell you who that is because the "update" killed the listings of who mods what (though I'm guessing BarDull?).

also if we're taking sign-ups for this I'll have Phoenix Wright, before anyone else can take him. Nick is all mine :p

Shhhhhh you gotta keep your role a secret!! :laugh:

Or you can reveal it if you really want, the signups are just who's going to be in, not what roles are claimed. In fact, multiple people can have the same role in this game!!! This game is the epitome of madness! :'^)

Or maybe that's just what I want people to think. An Ace Attorney fan like me is obviously going to go for Phoenix Wright, right? I wonder... The game might not have started yet, but the mindgames can begin any time. :p

Honestly my biggest question pertains to roles like Seviper and Zangoose. If one gets picked and the other doesn't, does the one who did get picked auto-win since they technically outlasted the other? :p

I voted before reading the thread and thought you were talking in general instead of this game. I voted to ban revivers because I think the role is bs, but for this game I think they should stay

Imo, you scrap all unique win conditions and make all the roles have the same generic "defeat the mafia" or "defeat the town" win condition.

You know, one other question I had is...how would The Riddler work? Would new riddles be made, or would it just be a useless role with just the old, no-longer-relevant riddles?

isn't it obvious to just make new riddles based off the structure of the game the host gets?

If their goal is to keep the roles exactly the same then no, it's not obvious.

considering we made talks about changing revivers, getting rid of specific win cons, and to making two characters who are in similar boats not to have one clear advantage of the other, pretty sure that already went out the window
