That sounds like a better use for this thread than the intended purpose
Fool rn is a punishment for all factions alike, if you execute on him.
if anything it might be a slight NK buff which i wouldn’t be opposed to
That’s a decent part of the appeal imo
Keeps Fool’s balance about where it is
Actually u rite
Shit
NKs are buff af already lol
like the idea is that the reward benefits villagers more but still benefits wolves, and that the wolves have to decide whever to not kill the Fool and implicitly waste villager kills or take their easy reward
It’s not at all even tho
right this is ToL
forgot that NK doesn’t need to be buffed there
NKs get no reward because killing a neutral as a neutral is probably never better than the alternative?
Yea, cult loses the most if you execute on him, Unseen loses much (unless you are MM), most neuts lose something, NK loses nothing, most BD lose something
atm i think fool execute can ruin a cult game, but almost never harms unseen
can really mess with possessor but never reaper/sorc
and, well, hurts BD to varying degrees
Or should they still get something and maybe get individualized nerfs if necessary later
If we can agree on a reward that can be more even, we can fix that
the 1-2 days of no trials hurts BD a lot more than the loss of limited ability uses
i feel like since we can’t get rid of Fool we might as well add a different layer to it to make it less unfair when it comes to the lynch and add a new layer of interaction with the neuts
No-trial doesn’t hurt them at all, it forces them to use their night abilities more coordinated and thoughtful… which has often the better results. Since killing an unseen convert is often plain bad for BD.
So why do trials exist at all if taking them away is better for BD?
i get your thought process but even with optimal ability usage having trials is still better than not having trials because it turns out you aren’t always able to kill scum at night
an idea i came up with off the top of my head is
Inane Plans (Passive) - If you die, then a random non-Special player of faction other than the faction you killed you is occupied bypassing immunity.
but randomness is yikes
That’s a weak reward
