Retain the player list after game ends, and show roles

[Dr. Cheis]

You know that little box in the bottom right that shows you who is still alive? It would be really nice if that didn't go away when a game ended. When I'm curious who is who of the people alive at the end, I have to try to look at the town gathering in the background and see who is standing there, then open the log and scroll to where it said what their role was.

It would be much better if that box just stayed up and added the roles of the people still alive. An example of how it might look at the conclusion of a game would be:

Steve	Lookout
Rick James	Bus Driver
red is mafia	Jester
LYNCH THE LAGGER	Mason

Perhaps you are not aware of this.. because you have never stayed till the end...


At the end of the game. Every players name and role is listed.

You can see who is alive by looking at their unit in the circle.

I really like having Numbers as an alternative to names and colors. However, it becomes confusing with dead players. Today I played a game where somebody left a will referring to a dead player by his number. There was no way to look up which number that player had been, and the will was useless as a result.

Please place numbers next to the players' names to avoid this problem.

He said that in his post.


I think it would be a good idea to keep the lower right box and put what their role is there. It would be even better if it put the dead people back in too (perhaps in parenthesis like it does when someone has left and is destined to die) and displayed their roles there as well.

Would be a real pain in the ass. The action box is a bitch to work with, let me tell you.

You can -lw color, and you get the EXACT same result. It's also not that hard to remember which color goes to which number, or what name went where in the roles box now that theres a static placement for the numbers.

[Voss]

if the players are that skilled to actually follow a person's last will, they SHOULD have some idea of what color goes where. or ask.
but not THAT bad of an idea.

sure why the hell not.

That's really strange, I could have sworn I made 2 different threads, and I have 2 suggestions in the same thread.

I apologize if my initial post was ambiguous. I was aware it displays this. It does not tell you however which players are still alive. It just gives you a massive list of every player, and it uses their battle.net names first, making it inconvenient to search. Not only that, but amazingly, sometimes other people stay at the end of the game and talk, causing the screen to scroll, hence why you would have to search the LOG, like I wrote in my post. Please do not assume I am a troll.

It would be even better if it put the dead people back in too (perhaps in parenthesis like it does when someone has left and is destined to die) and displayed their roles there as well.

I like this idea even better.

If it's a matter of difficult coding, I can understand why it wouldn't be a priority. The game is already over at this point so immediately accessible information is not essential. There's no timer counting down. Would still be a nice change though.

Looks like my graveyard list numbers idea just got implemented. This thread should now just be about the first idea. My apologies for accidentally including 2 in one thread.
