View Full Version : Is there a hidden weighting of roles for players?

After getting Doctor for the twentieth game today I had a strange suspicion that there is some secret weighting. It's to the point of incredible statistical unlikelihood.

Is there a way to quickly withdraw all the role information from a save so I could analyse my saves to see percentage roles?

Edit: Not including -prefer

Hosts can set sliders for each role's probability. Also, if I remember correctly, you are more likely to receive a role that you haven't won with recently.

As far as withdrawing data from a save, do you mean through a replay? If so, I'm not aware of any way to do this, no. Maybe if you take control while spectating host during the setup phase?

Yeah, just tested this. Take Command of the host after they load the save and you can browse through all the role options and probability sliders while viewing replay.

Ah, yeah that's not quite what I was looking for. Some way to get the information from the save without loading the save so you could do them really quickly.

I'm not sure if you are more likely to get roles you haven't won as. The problem is I only have my own experience to say though, which is why I wanted to analyse my 300 replays or whatever so I could find out if that's true or not. I guess the only way would be to write it down every game what you got.

If you leave games early you end up with more vanilla roles.

Early like when you're dead? Or quitting while alive? What about the animation time between when you are guilty and actually die?

I stay to the end in almost all of my games even if I die night one so shouldn't effect me.

Okay, word of god on this one is that the following things have an impact on what role you get:

Role sliders, prefer black list, and last role played
Last role played only updates if a player is present for points at games end

MAYBE the thing about role quitting; we're currently unsure.
