The secret king

Feedback/Suggestions
#1

Make king secret. When he is voted up, he will get the option to reveal himself as king and immediately gt off the stand (though he could be revoted)

Abilities:

Royal finger
A message will be announced that “the king has put an extra vote on (x).” This works even if you are not accusing anyone.
Decide fate
Immediately become open king, otherwise the same
Guards!
Still 4 uses
Allies
Still 4 uses

After they are outed through trial, they become the open king, with the crown and everything. A new person rising to king ship is automatically an open king

butler cannot poison a secret king
prince can jail secret king but not open king

Optional:

starting king is always BD, but can be converted until eh becomes open king

Other option:

starting king is always neutral, cannot be converted, is not revealed from decide fate

Not a terrible idea, but I think the current iteration of a public King is a core identity in Throne of Lies and sets it apart from other social deduction games.

Could be a cool game mode.

D1 would become: vote literally everyone up until you find the king.

No, I don’t like this idea and here’s why:

You’re in castle and you know the king plain and simple, what kind of peasant doesn’t know who the ruler of the realm is?

why doesn’t the king know his prince? HMM?

Why doesn’t anyone notice the very grey people (unseen)?

Knowing who is king is what makes him Special. Removing that would be too big of a change. Making a new game mode for it might be refreshing though.

I just thought it would fix a bunch of the problems with people just exing king if he doesn’t find an evil, and maybe allow a removal of the allies ability all together

OP edited to stop people from just voting everyone until they find king
