this isn’t even true

#86

but neutral killer is stressful, difficult and unfun

#87

there’s several problems with it it’s just an easier solution than “get an extra 5 subs ever game”

#88

in the last hour of day 1/first hour of day 2, can choose someone who failed to make the post minimum, kill them, and take over their role, inheriting their alignment and win condition

if no such player exists then it can backup a dead player of their choice

in a small player game no not really

in a mash I can see how that would be hell so I don’t really know what to say

you’re basically sacrificing one player’s fun for kp balance that could easily be done if you balanced it around the wolves instead of a neutral (instantly loses if they die before winning) who has to wipe out the entire fucking game with nothing but a gun, a vest and a dream

Dealbreaker

whatever
not a dealbreaker but will never pan out in any way that’s fun for the players

#98

btw as someone who randed that 2nd neut its a p dogshit role for the person who rands it lol, it makes the game less fun, takes all of your wim out but leaves you completely lost come EoD and d2 because you didnt read anything

#99

I feel like that role’s just a cop-out to deal with slankers/flakers.

#100

i mean yeah it’s entire purpose is as slank balance, which is fine in theory but is annoying asf to actually rand
