Jester -> Lightkeeper

[Jailbar]

So I finally started playing epic mafia, and the most fun and crazy of all the roles to me was the lightkeeper. I don't think it would work as a role in SC2 mafia, because people hate playing citizens as it is, but it would be great as an addition to the jester.

For those that don't know, when a lightkeeper dies, the next day town chat is all anonymous, and all votes to lynch that day become anonymous. I feel this would be a cool addition to the jester role, instead of having someone die when he is lynched, make the previous sentence happen. This removes randomness from the game, which is a good thing, and adds more chaos and fun, which is a good thing. Town still won't want to lynch the jester, because it makes an accurate lynch the next day very difficult.

Flavorwise, it fits, as killing the jester while he's in the town meeting unleashes his bag of tricks into the town, or something of that nature. It makes more sense than someone suiciding of guilt after killing him. Since the jester has few options, this could be added as an option instead.

I think this is a good idea.
Ya.

This is a nice idea ;)

Can be a second option for Jester, can make both happen or just one.

Anonymous chat except the Mayor.

Anonymous chat except the Mayor.

I like the OPs post and this idea as well. Good addition.

Wow Caress I didn't even realize that was you lol. Also bump. So looking forward to this if it gets noticed.

[Illidan]

I would totally love seeing that added. Wonderful idea

[Ruffles]

Anonymous chat wold be annoying, imagine the trolls that would spam during it.

Lol.
I've gotten pretty bored of epicmafia. People play follow the cop/powerrole way too much. Switched over to SC2 for a while.

Good suggestion, but don't remove the random suicide, it's a good twist to have too.

[SnipingHobo]

Although its a good idea, in that case, I believe the Mafia would actually be encouraged to lynch the Jester, making Jester an easier role to win as. Maybe adding an option that, if enabled, the Jester lynch result will be random, either random kill or anonymous chat/vote. So, in total, the Jester would have 3 options: Random guilty-voter kill, Anonymous chat/vote, or randomly selects one of the former options.

Anonymous chat except the Mayor.

Revealed mayors only please. Otherwise non revealed mayors would have to be quiet or be revealed as the only non anonymous role that day

[TheJackofSpades]

I like this idea, thank you for suggesting it.

I really like the suggestion and it makes sense. Adds a new dynamic to the game.

[SnipingHobo]

How about a new Spy option that would allow him to see the chat as if nothing happened? It would be a minor buff to the spy that would potentially help him figure out Mafia members, even though Jester lynches are rare.

[MrSmarter]

Good idea, I like it.

I quite like it, but the problem that I have is that lynching the Jester would create a big advantage the next day for the Mafia. While it would be fun, neither faction should want to have the Jester's blood on there hand's, but this would encourage Mafia to bring about the Jester's demise.
