You may not tailor your defense to specific character attacks. Victory: You are the only survivor at the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Ouroboros Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 You still posted for game 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Fixed. Any relevant suggestions/fixes? Look at the Nephil Activist and Craftmaster Strine. I updated them a little. Comments are welcome on them and any other role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Dionicio still needs his victory condition nerfed slightly. Having every role by the end of the game is way too hard for his role, and has absolutely no margin for error. Especially considering that the end of the game could be as early as Day 3. An idea: leave it at all roles, but make it so that submitting a list will give you the number of roles you got correct (not which ones, though). And you can only do it once per day. Or, follow Marlenny's suggestion, and cut it down to 13 or 14 out of 16. Or, make it so that Dionicio has to know the names and roles of the Darksider targets by the end of the game.

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think I will cut it down to 14 out of 16. I find the first idea attractive, but I can see potential to use that as a way to gain information about who is who, which I do not want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Omlette Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 How about saying that for every incorrect role Dionicio must hold 20 (or another number) coins or items to that value? That would also mean that having killed the DLs personally would make the other condition easier, which seems fair; it means that staying underground and relying on others to kill the DLs for you makes it harder to win, which is as it should be. The NA's role seems a little too hard to play now; I presume he's meant to get money by offering to sell things for people, but that's so complicated most people won't bother, and then he's only really going to be able to use his assassain once per game at best, as far as I can see. -E- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Sporefrog Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think the Nephil Activist looks okay. He'd make a great addition to an alliance with his abilities, even just to sell stuff for face value. Any word on when NI 10 is going to happen?

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Probably not for another week at least. I'm pretty flooded with stuff right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
