Here's some constructive criticism: What the hell.

If you don't like an idea you should actually explain why. THAT's what constructive criticism is about.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

If constructive criticism is so obvious why are you not abiding by the basic concepts of it? Some people may think your comment is funny, but the creator of the concept could've found it offensive and I myself don't think such a snarky attitude should be allowed on this forum.

It is constructive criticism because it is a "What the hell" sort of game

This may, or may not be taken seriously
in other words no this is not serious unless you make it out to be serious
Reader "desgresstion" is advised. YES FUCKING DESGRESSTION
M:whatever
Insert your generic name that people like and will always vote for here

Overly blantant screaming millennials
Elsa: Can freeze people, stopping from talking/ and doing anything the next night and day, usable during the day only. Can be unfrozen by flames.
President Hair Clip-on: Can get people's pms if visited by them or by visiting them during the night. May alternatively look and see who is visiting who during the night, up to 2 people and self.
DIO: You were expecting no DIO memes but it was me DIO! Can stop time for the night, stopping all and any abilities from happening. In turn, skipping a whole phase. Since he FUCKING DIES AFTER PART 3 he can only use it once. Oops spoilers... Anyways he can alternatively kill a person a night with a road rolla da. there is no limit to killing but can only be done every other night.
The Moe Loli: Can not die at night, if targeted by a night action, they learn the color of said person.

LOVE IS SO BLUE GUYS FTW
Editing of the Bosses: Can protect someone during the night. Can bring a person back from the dead only once during the game.
TheDanianfruitman: Has a long name... Thats about it... Other then the fact that if someone one votes for them they learn thier color.
Carmandar: Gen 8 pokemon. Is charizard, WITH A CAR! SO WOW. Can do flamethrower during the day to end it without having a lynch. Can only do this every other day. Can not do it to save self from said lynch unless there is another person being voted.
TheEEM of the O: Is edgy, can suicide to kill to others. can only be done at night after 2 nights of the game starting. (in game nights)

People in who went to the court of the crimson king
Pro Fighting Game Player: Can protect self at night for about 3 times. There will be a message that someone protected themselves playing against scrubs
Dolphin: This Motherfucka can swim, on LAND. WHOA TECHNOLOGY!!! Can investigate a player and learn their color.
Dio: You were expecting DIO but it was me Dio! Can be a holy diver and fake death during the night. Can only be done if Brando is alive.
Brando: This is a high schooler, he stole your memes. He can control someone and make them use their role on someone else. They will know they have been controlled. Is in contact with Dio

WE GOT TO STOP BULLYING
Cowboy Bebop: Can avoid death once. ONLY ONCE, THEN YOU MIGHT DIE
Susano'o: Can play his edgy theme making the lynch targets voted on the them not count. (Ex. susan uses ability on p1. p2 has 3 votes, p1 has 5, p2 is lynched instead.) More or less protects the player from a lynch. can only be done once.
TIFFANY: Wants to get lynched. if lynched can bring a team together. can decide which them. or reveal 2 player's who voted for TIFFANY their roles to the public.
Stomping fetish terumi: can surive a night or two, depending on who he killed. if he killed his own teammate he lives throught another night or once lynch. can kill someone every other night just to let you know

Everything the light touches is Anime
Anime person man.: they must mention a sort of anime in their posts. must post once a day and night, unless they are dead you butt. Since they do this they can learn a role of who posted below them or quoted them. They can copy the role but they lose the role they have. they dont change teams though.
The Nientendo Switch'o'2: can take a role from the dead and join that team. in turn if they dont choose they live through one night. ONLY ONCE. People know that you changed teams
A.I. Yandere youtuber: if "Nientendo Switch'o'2" changed teams can kill someone every other night. can choose to kill nientendo switcho'o'2 if they know who they are I.E. has pm'd them multiple times or by roles or such.
The drunk guy: is immune to lynchs until he is the last person on his team. can not talk during the day, but can lynch people in pm and talk in pm only. (discord and irc only for image posting sadly, that's all you can do) is immune to night role abilities that dont kill. can be killed at night.

Nanaya Jacob was not offended by Syndrilevosse's comment based on his response, and I believe the comment was intended as humor in the first place.

Please stop harassing Syndrilevosse about this, you're not adding anything to the discussion (and a "snarky attitude" is in no way against the forum rules). This is backseat moderating at best.

And how saying "constructive criticism: What the hell" is adding anything to the discussion. It sure is contributing to his post count.

[Julia Pseudo]

This discussion needs to stop. Any further comments about Syndrilevosse's comment (which, again, was not taken as an insult by Nanaya Jacob) will be removed. Please do not harass other users for comments clearly posted in good faith.

Jacob was joking when he made the game. Anyone who thought the game was serious should run outside and learn what a joke is.

M38+: Conflict in the Spirit Realm
- Cardflip game
- 17 players
- Classic win conditions

Evil Spirits
Dragon Spirit: Immune to nightkills. Once throughout the game, he can kill a player independently from the Mafia’s choice, but his cardflip color will turn red afterwards and he’ll lose his nightkill immunity as well.
Ice Spirit: Can freeze a player each night, making them unable to speak the next day phase. If the frozen player is lynched off, the last person who voted on them will also die.
Shadow Spirit: Can hide a player’s color each night for the following day and night phase making them cardflip black.
Poltergeist: Can stalk a player each night and learn their color. Alternatively, he can roleblock a player.

Insert Generic Town Name Here
Star Spirit: A spirit gathering his power from the night who is immune to nightkills.
Moon Spirit: Another spirit gathering his power from the night. This gives him the power to protect a player from death each night. Has the ability to self-protect.
Sun Spirit: A spirit gathering his power from the daylight. He doesn’t care about the law of physics so he can store sunshine and use it to inspect a player each night.
Wolf Spirit: Can kill a player each night. If he kills an innocent, he’ll lose his ability for the following night.
Banshee: Can scream out to a player and tell them a bit of information with or without revealing their identity.
Vengeful Spirit: If he’s lynched, one of the evil spirits (a mafia member) who voted on him will also die. (if none of the evil spirits is voting for him, only the VS will die)
Crystal Spirit: Has a crystal ball which makes him able to reveal the cardflip color of 2 players after his death. Has to make the decision before he dies but can change his mind as much as he wants to.
Ordinary Spirit

The Vengeful Pirate Spirit
Fearsome Pirate Ghost: The ghost of a pirate who died a long time ago and wants to take revenge on everyone. He’s immune to nightkills and also has the ability to kill a player each night. Might use one of these abilities during the night (each ability has limited usage and there cannot be multiple abilities used up at the same time):
Disguise ×1: Can change his cardflip color for the following day and night phase.
Drown ×2: Can change the cardflip color of the player he killed to black by taking their body to the bottom of the ocean.
Paralyze ×2: Can roleblock a player for the night and make their lynchvotes not count for the following day.
Curse ×3: Can set a permanent curse on the player and make them automatically be the victim of a knife-in-the-box situation.

[FireyPaperMario]

I like ShadowStarX's game imo. ^.^')

[PersonNamedUser]

Okay, let me run through it,
I feel that the mafia is honestly a bit underpowered,
The only things the mafia can do are these:
- An individual kill that kills them
- Cover up one death
- Roleblock someone
- One can only post at night

But the town can do all of these things:
- The Seer can inspect and has double lynch votes
- They do have a Vlig that cardflips red for a phase and loses their ability if they mess up
- They have a doctor
- They can visit people
- they have two roles in contact with one another
- There's also only a Millwright and no Miller

And the TP is a bit overpowered as well because giving him 4 abilities is a bit too overpowered
especially consider what they are.

By the way, i hope that you actually read this.

I'm afraid you got ninja'd because witchking deleted his post.

Yeah I did, Sanct pointed out on discord that I accidentally made it too similar to celestial assault (almost all the town abilities were during the day) so I decided to take it down to polish a bit more.

M?? - Psychopathy Red

Long ago a mental institution opened its doors. It was dubbed “Clearwater Psychiatric Hospital for the criminally insane” and became known as one of the best mental institutions across the land. However, as time passed away, so did the staff. And with every generation of staff the good intentions slowly decayed and the mental hospital went downhill. The current director of Clearwater is an outright danger to the patients. He is a sadistic man who doesn’t care for the wellbeing of the patients. Instead he tortures them to satisfy his bloodlust. The rest of Clearwater’s staff did all they could to make life better for the patients but when four patients, all convicted serial killers, started killing others during the night, the staff was forced to execute patients in order to save their own life.

Serial Killers
-Sociopath: Because he is highly manipulative. The sociopath cardflips blue upon inspection but red upon death and he cannot be nightkilled.
-Suicidal: May threaten someone every night, silencing them for the day after. Must be dead before the end of the game to win alongside the other serial killers.
-Lunatic: An insane individual who stole a bottle of acid from the laboratory. Can cover up the mafia’s kill by dissolving the body in acid once during the game.
-Insane Alter-Ego: A split-personality within a person suffering of Dissociative Identity Disorder. Can only post at night. May roleblock someone every night. Since they are both technically the same human, the death of one alter ego automatically kills the other.

Staff
-Psychiatrist: May inspect someone every night, learning their cardflip colour. His lynch vote also counts double.
-Executioner: May kill someone every night, if they kill an innocent, they will lose their ability and cardflip red for a single night.
-Therapist: May put someone through therapy every day, roleblocking them the next night phase.
-Doctor: May protect a player from death every night. This also works on the suicidal.
-Nurse: Just like a regular employee, but when the doctor dies she takes his place and her cardflip colour changes to Blue
-Sane Alter-Ego: A split-personality within a person suffering of Dissociative Identity Disorder. Can only post during the day. May reveal their role to someone every day. Since they are both technically the same human, the death of one alter ego automatically kills the other.
-Co-worker: Just like a regular employee, knows who the other Co-worker is.
-Co-worker:
-Employee: Nothing special, can cast a lynch vote.
-Employee:
-Employee:
-Employee:
-Liar: Just like a regular employee but all investigations return with the exact opposite of the truth. Thinks he is a normal employee.

Third Party
-Director: The leader of Clearwater Psychiatric Hospital might be even more insane than his patients. His position of power makes him unable to be nightkilled. The Director can nightkill someone every night. Alternatively, he can also choose not to kill and use any of the following abilities instead of a kill. He can only use each alternate ability once.
Fake news: The Director can add his own message to the host’s post at the end of a night phase.
Fraud: The Director may forge himself two additional lynch votes which he can use whenever he wants.
Threaten: The Director will threathen someone, silencing them for the day phase after.

Additional information:
* The Alter-Egos are not aware of each other’s identity.
*The suicidal has to be dead before the game ends. This doesn't mean he can win without the rest of the mafia however.
*The target of the lunatic’s acid attack will also not be crossed out in the player list.
*The Doctor can self-protect.
*The Liar's "ability" takes every result and turns it into the opposite. A sherriff will get a red inspection back for example.
*If the director threatens someone the threatened player will be notified.
*The director may fake death messages, just not his own.
*The message the Director can add to the hosts phase-changing post can only be up to 30 characters long. If the Director chooses to fake a death message the name of the player will be crossed out on the player list until this player posts again.
*If a silenced player does post they will die. Someone is notified of the fact they were silenced by PM.

Well, I polished it a bit more and decided to post it again. Feedback is greatly appreciated, especially when it concerns balancing issues.

Okay, this time, i think the mafia has a much more fair chance of winning than they did before.
However, I suggest that you give the town some kind of miller to even things a bit. I don't exactly count the nurse since if the
doctor dies they would become a important color for town.

I also still find the Director a Bit OP, i'd say get rid of one ability.

If you look really closely, the liar pretty much is a miller. All inspections return false so, if someone inspects the liar, he will be red. He will still cardflip green when he dies though, so would you think a vanilla miller would work better?

Also, I don't think the Director is OP at all. Keep in mind that a third party has to take on all other seventeen players, so they should be super powerful if they want to have a small chance of winning.

Actually those are pretty good reasons, you are right that the Director having to take so many other players should allow them alot of other abilities, so i actually don't really see any problems with it.

[Cedur]

I even find him underpowered for a third party, given that he can only nightkill or use an ability, not both. This doesn't really make him stronger than a normal TP who can kill and is NK-immune.

[Witchking666]

I even find him underpowered for a third party, given that he can only nightkill or use an ability, not both. This doesn't really make him stronger than a normal TP who can kill and is NK-immune.

So, would you suggest me to make the abilities able to be used together with the kill at the same time?

[Cedur]

I haven't checked out yet how strong the Mafia and the Town are but that would be more worthy of a third party with a realistic chance against 17 others.

M____ computer viruses vs biological viruses

Computer Viruses(collectively get kill,win by elminating Biological viruses)

ILOVEYOU an email based virus that is so common that it is immune to nightkills

Zeus a trojan virus, appears to be a normal file when Inspected

Conficker its name comes from the English word, configure and a German pejorative, it`s a malware virus, so it can cause ads to pop up and prevent a player from using their ability

CIH
The Chernobyl virus (also known as CIH) triggers on April 26th each year, the anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It overwrites a chip inside a PC effectively paralysing the entire computer, in game it just makes players unable to vote.

Biological Viruses(win by elminating computer viruses)

White Blood Cellit can kill one player each night,ironically looses it's abilty for a day if it kills a biological virus

Red Blood Cell Can protect a player each night

Immune System Can inspect a player each night, but red and green colours are flipped, doesn't know they are sensitive

Swine Flu can infect(it's a pun, don't panic) a player to learn their colour

Supervirus simply a virus that is resistant to cures, immune to nightkills

Cas9A CRISPR thingy,can see who has visited a player

Ecoli An Ecoli virus that has been doused with cholrine that causes it to appear as blue when inspected

Common Coldthere are 200 different strains of cold, Which is why it's the equalvent of a townie

Common Cold

Common Cold

Common Cold

Common Cold

Common Cold

Common Cold


Flu A very fast evovling virus, so fast infact that it's managed to infect computers too and appears as red when inspected, doesn't know they are the flu

Mechanics
Cardflip - There is no roleflip here

Corruption - viruses may choose to recruit (or corrupt if you prefer) a player into joining their team, they can't recruit the white blood cell (because it's a killing role), and they can only recruit one person

(rolepms, and minature fridges not included)
