11 18 and 23 are all interesting to me. 18 particularly since it only effects roles after page 100 in this format.

Mega Gladiator is too much influence on game, too stronge

Not really? It's actually pretty bad in most circumstances, because 99% of the time the choice is going to be to lim the mega gladiator, not every other player. It has utility in cases where there are a bunch of 3p who don't mind dying, a bunch of mafia vote shenanigans roles, or some doubt as to whether multiple other players can survive an elim.

Still not really a strong contender though.

As for Stuntman being unfun, you've clearly never been in a game where the mafia didn't think they could trust each other. Just the possibility of it existing makes great in game interactions happen and the secondary wincon is very unlikely to actually proc. In a game that already has absolutely no chance of balance it's perfectly reasonable.

Survivor self hammering is literally against site rules, so... Vaguely agree that survivor is probably not a desired faction in a GIdea game, particularly because survivor is very hard to make into a reasonable role.

VOTE: Stuntman
JOAT
Town NK-Immune Miller Vigilante

Please add a link to GIdea thread in OP.

On second thought, while I don’t necessarily dislike the idea of stuntman it just seems so unlikely to matter that it probably wouldn’t effect games anyway, although I disagree with it being more bastard than GI inherently is. In practice, it just gives mafia the incentive to actually aim the lim at town instead of just away from mafia since they have no incentive not to claim.

I’d probably vote role shuffler if it were a savior for the person whose role they stole, but as a survivor it’s just kind of meh.

UNVOTE: stuntman

Btw cook I was serious about asking for an op link to the gidea thread. Would make cross referencing way easier on mobile instead of having to go through lichs iso

Survivor

Not quite, it needs to hit final 2. Game ending before that point makes it lose.

[Jingle]

gonna make a game of just joats with different powers

GOAJ Mafia

(Game of All Joats)

[Jingle]

then catherine is not well designed

Uh.... That's true of a lot of Grand Idea roles.

Dolphin is just a night one IC with a gimmick, for example.

[Jingle]

I looked at the gidea thread and apparently dolphin is a compulsive superstar, not an ic/gc. Still not an exciting role, but my original point of there being a lot of hot garbage in that thread stands.

[Jingle]

Hot survivor has interesting late game implications in that you can remove a scum player by vanity wagoning them. Being on wagon with the affliction is kindve just a dick move though.

[Jingle]

I feel like at this point we're all just agreeing with each other for the sake of agreeing with each other .

[Jingle]

FWIW, I think Mafia Medium is more interesting than Town Medium, but the fact that only one can be rolled means it's a pretty useless role in this context.

[Jingle]

Do we have a proposed method for fixing alignment disparity if we end up with like 70% mafia roles at the end, btw?
