Prefer nerf/rework

[ChannelMiner]

Instead of preferring exact roles, you can only prefer alignments e.g:
Mafia/Triad
Neutral Killer, Evil, Benign
Town government, protective, investigative, power, killing, support, etc.

Reduce amount of points needed to prefer.

Blacklisting can remain the same.

Unfortunately, giving the option to prefer a specific alignment (killing/power/protectives) doesn't really change much about prefer, except for the confirmed existence of a specific role.

People who tend to prefer Marshall, will also prefer mayor and constable, so it doesn't make a difference.

People who prefer jailors and veteran will prefer killing roles, doesn't really matter which killing role they get, they play in a similar way.

Same for neutral benign. A bigger nerf is needed to make a difference.

If I've learned anything, it is that prefer/blacklist is not gonna change.

Mind as well just accept it now.

I still liked the idea I mentioned in the last thread where this was posted, since I think it's pretty close to the perfect compromise:

X% of lobbies has blacklist/prefer disabled for everyone.

So if X is 50% then in half of the lobbies it will be like it is now with no changes to blacklist /prefer, but in the other half it will be like no one has blacklist/prefer

Sometimes the best way to nerf a feature is to delete it completely :idea: .

X = 100

Make prefer/blacklist toggleable host options.

This gives the players more agency. It lets the people who like it keep using it and lets the people who don’t like it disable it.
