Can the Serial Killer rampage and use two targets on one person to pierce healing?

[Damus_Graves]

Can the Serial Killer rampage and use two targets on one person to pierce healing?

yes

[Roflcopter]

Some of the neutral ideas seem way better suited for a Mfm rather than a Sfm, especially the sk rampage.

I also love how you get this up right after dying in the Sfm :P

Setup seems nice other than that and I love the insane sheriff idea, makes the sheriff wifom himself, and town wifom sheriff.

[Roflcopter]

I was on my phone and it autocorrected sfm and mfm >.>

[Damus_Graves]

Added Rules and Organization

[Cryptonic]

I see a couple problems with OoO
If witch gets shot, she can't control
If janitor gets shot, he can sanitize
Roleblockers cant roleblock if shot and they only affect Slueth and amnesiac :o

[creedkingsx]

First glance, town feels like it has a looot of opposition. Looking at specifics.

[creedkingsx]

Do citizens receive a vest?

[Damus_Graves]

Do citizens receive a vest?

No.

[Damus_Graves]

S-FM is up for grabs by whoever wants it.

I recommend changing the spy because seeing night chats has a tendency to utterly ruins the point of having a night chat (mafia night chat in SC2mafia with possible spies is extremely annoying). There really isn't anything fun about having to cover up your writing style in a chat that's supposedly private. If you insist on keeping it though, you could for example give the spy "charges" of seeing night chat and disallow him using the ability on night 0/1. That way it's at least possible for the mafia to prepare code phrases and it's up to the spy to figure out what they mean.

Coroner: Sees who target, targeted

Does this mean he can see all night targets, or just the last? If the former, does he see the night targets in order? (night 1 target first, night 2 2nd, etc)

Godfather: Gains a secondary ability

What does this mean and how does it work? Does a detective see him visiting multiple targets? If a witch controls the godfather, does she control both actions?

Serial Killer: Can kill three people, goes on two night cooldown of inactivity
Can kill each night

Are these mutually exclusive choices? i.e. can the SK choose only one of these abilities each night he's able to attack? If his spree is on cooldown, can he still use a single kill or is that on cooldown too? Does 2 night cooldown imply that he is unable to do anything for 2 nights after he uses the spree, or does it mean he can kill again after 1 night of inactivity?

Does arsonist day ignition prohibit him from dousing the next night or anything?

Spree killer: two night cooldown

Two nights of no actions or can he act again 2 nights after a spree? (i.e. one night of inactivity)

Can the amnesiac take any role? Can this result in having 2 mason leaders?

Are the cultists unable to ever kill again if one of them dies? It seems impossible if they can only replace one member after every 2 deaths and they have a maximum of 3 members. Or does the 3 member cap not apply to dead cultists?

Why does the Sleuth appear twice on the OoO?

What's the point of being able to erase roles, but not last wills as arsonist if people can just write their role in their last will? Is it to allow scum to lie about their role in their last will?

Alright. I'll remove Spy


Does this mean he can see all night targets, or just the last? If the former, does he see the night targets in order? (night 1 target first, night 2 2nd, etc)

He sees who targeted the victim and who the victim has targeted.

Like in Sc2 Mafia. Coroner sees who targeted the victim the night he died

What does this mean and how does it work? Does a detective see him visiting multiple targets? If a witch controls the godfather, does she control both actions?

Random.org for ability.
This means the godfather retains a secondary ability, for example like roleblocking. He can preform the secondary action as well as kill. Yes the Detective sees both targets. No the witch only controls the kill.

Does 2 night cooldown imply that he is unable to do anything for 2 nights after he uses the spree, or does it mean he can kill again after 1 night of inactivity?

They are separate choice of actions that the Serial Killer can take at night. (only can use one that night). If the Serial Killer chooses to rampage, he gets put on a cooldown which will allow him to attack again on the 2nd night.

Does arsonist day ignition prohibit him from dousing the next night or anything?

Yes

Two nights of no actions or can he act again 2 nights after a spree? (i.e. one night of inactivity)

Act again 2 nights after

Can the amnesiac take any role? Can this result in having 2 mason leaders?

Unique roles are not take-able.
Godfather, Mayor, Mason Leader, Mason are unique

Are the cultists unable to ever kill again if one of them dies? It seems impossible if they can only replace one member after every 2 deaths and they have a maximum of 3 members. Or does the 3 member cap not apply to dead cultists?

Dead cultists do not apply to the cap.

Why does the Sleuth appear twice on the OoO?

Personal Mistake


What's the point of being able to erase roles, but not last wills as arsonist if people can just write their role in their last will? Is it to allow scum to lie about their role in their last will?

Yes. Pretty much




Is a witch able to control the use of gunsmith guns and jailor execution?

If the witch controls a jailor onto his jailed victim he executioner.
If the witch controls a gunsmith onto someone, he gives that person a gun.

[BorkBot]

Coroner
Does this mean he can see all night targets, or just the last? If the former, does he see the night targets in order? (night 1 target first, night 2 2nd, etc)

He sees who targeted the victim and who the victim has targeted

This answer confuses me. Does he see all the targets the victim visited and the night on which he visited them like in SC2 mafia or is it different?

You say he also sees who targeted the victim? So the coroner gets a list of all players who visited the dead player too?

Godfather's second ability

Does a detective see him visiting multiple targets? If a witch controls the godfather, does she control both actions?

These questions were left unanswered.

Also, how is it decided what the Godfather's secondary ability is? Host pick? Player choice? Random?

Sk options to kill 3 or 1 target
Are these mutually exclusive choices? i.e. can the SK choose only one of these abilities each night he's able to attack? If his spree is on cooldown, can he still use a single kill or is that on cooldown too?

Questions not answered.

Does arsonist day ignition prohibit him from dousing the next night or anything?

Question not answered.

Can the amnesiac take any role? Can this result in having 2 mason leaders?

Unique roles are not take-able

Which roles are unique?

Is a witch able to control the use of gunsmith guns and jailor execution?

[Damus_Graves]

Edited answering post to include answers

[BorkBot]

The coroner doesn't see who targeted a dead player the night they died, he sees the death type though. So I assume that's what you meant.

As for the gunsmith gun question, I meant to ask if the witch has control over the use of the item. If someone possesses a gun and gets witched, does the witch force him to use it? What if the person with the gun intended to use the gun the night they get witched, does the witch control it then?

[Damus_Graves]

I can change to to death type only if it is a balance issue.

witch can only control primary ability and I am considering the gun secondary

[BorkBot]

Yeah, I wouldn't let the coroner see exactly which player killed someone. That would make it like a lookout with 100% success rate to find killers, which is kinda imba

[BorkBot]

Anyway.. approved

[Damus_Graves]

I am going to be editing the roles a bit more. Do you mind reviewing them for anything I overlook?
Witch, Executioner, and Jester have been edited

[BorkBot]

Causes one mafia and one town death upon getting lynched

Don't like this. It'll make it favourable for the town to lynch jesters, because 1 town for 1 mafia is a very good trade. It's even better than a mafia lynch, because it gets rid of a neutral as well.

Witch can choose to make the Godfather to use his secondary ability on her selected target.

How does the witch inform you?

if(bSecondary)
{
if(target.role="Godfather") target.UseSecondary();
else target.UsePrimary();
}

i.e. witch doesn't have to know the target is GF in order to submit a secondary action.. they can just submit a secondary action and if their target happens to be the godfather, the secondary action is used and if not, the normal ability is used?

If the witch submits a secondary action and the target has a gunsmith gun, is that gun fired instead of the primary action?

Changed back to causes a suicide

{
if(target.role="Godfather") target.UseSecondary();
else target.UsePrimary();
}

If the witch submits a secondary action and the target has a gunsmith gun, is that gun fired instead of the primary action?

Witch would inform me like this:

Make Player X use secondary ability on Player Y.

Witch would not be informed if it worked or not.

[BorkBot]

Witch would not be informed if it worked or not.

But would anything happen if the target doesn't have a secondary ability? Would normal witching be applied instead?

What about the gunsmith gun question? Can the witch use those by submitting a secondary ability?

[Damus_Graves]

But would anything happen if the target doesn't have a secondary ability? Would normal witching be applied instead?

What about the gunsmith gun question? Can the witch use those by submitting a secondary ability?

No to the first and No to the second. Gunsmith does not have the ability to use his guns.

[BorkBot]

I wasn't talking about making the gunsmith use his own guns... controlling gunsmith guns as witch = controlling someone who has a gun and not the gunsmith, as already mentioned previously. It's been done before in other FMs.

Also:

witch can only control primary ability and I am considering the gun secondary

That's why I asked.

If the witch uses a secondary ability witching on someone other than the godfather, are they still notified of being manipulated even though nothing happened?

Oh I misunderstood I am sorry. The Witch can control someone who has a gun to shoot another person. This will be shown as a Vigilante death.

Yes they are aware.

[BorkBot]

Ok, all clear
