This event draws inspiration from the game Town of Salem. It would involve 3 additional sub-roles outside of Traitor/Innocent/Detective with distinct abilities; much like the Jester/Assassin events, just a bit more wild. Linked here is the list of potential roles.
Initially the idea involved 3 sub-roles for the innocent team, but perhaps it could be 2 sub-roles for the innocents and 1 for the traitors? Something for discussion maybe. Feel free to also discuss other potential roles.
Role Ideas
The Bodyguard: An Innocent sub-role that would allow you to ‘protect a player’. Protecting a player would make that person invulnerable for 2 hits of a sword. You would ‘protect a player’ by hitting that person with an item exclusive to you.
The Tracker: An Innocent sub-role that would allow you to ‘track’ someone. Tracking someone would alert you to the next person they kill. You would be able to ‘track a person’ by opening a unique UI (through an item) and selecting them.
The Janitor: A Traitor sub-role that would allow you to ‘clean’ two innocent bodies per game. ‘Cleaning’ an innocent body would remove it.
Super cool suggestion, I like the idea of this, and I reckon there’d have to be a notification at the start of each game saying which roles have been selected just so the game doesn’t get overcomplicated or anything - I’d also maybe nerf some of the roles, maybe I’d make it so that the bodyguard only shields for one hit, and if the tracker’s target killed someone then the target is notified that they’ve been ‘tracked’ - all this would be up for discussion of course though if we were to implement it
Yes, I like the idea for the Tracker! As for the bodyguard ability, I feel like it’s balanced out by the fact it could be used on a traitor. Don’t forget it’s a one time ability so 2 hits shouldn’t be too unmanageable.
The spy would be a traitor sub-role (inspiration less taken from ToS and more so Tf2). It would allow a traitor to ‘disguise’ themselves as a dead player for 15 seconds. The player would do so through a unique item, which could be used on the dead body to activate the ability.
Side Note:
I’m thinking that there could be a pool of maybe 6 potential roles. However, each game only 3 of them would be selected (which 3 would be unknown to everyone). In each case 2 innocent sub-roles and 1 traitor. Up for discussion though!
