Upcoming Role Revealing Fund Raiser

[Slaol]

Welcome, everyone. This is the first official fundraiser of Sc2mafia.com!

In the update that will release on April 9th we are going to be implementing 4 roles. They are going to be revealed here, and in more detail in R&D.

/ Kidnapper \
A corrupt, retired warden, secretly detaining people of interest. This role has the ability to kidnap and roleblock one player each night. The Kidnapper can speak anonymously with the kidnapped person at night, and optionally execute them.

/ Agent \
A corrupt intelligence operative, bugging houses and stalking targets to gather information. The Agent has the ability to shadow one player each night, tracking that person's nightly activity whilst observing every player who "visited" them.

/ Beguiler \
A stealthy sneak who uses manipulation and misdirection to survive. The Beguiler has the ability to hide in a player's home, redirecting all effects targeting the Beguiler to instead affect his target.

/ Witch Doctor \
A hedge psychic, using his powers of healing to operate as the leader of a group of cultists. This role has the ability to save a player, protecting them from death and converting them to the Cult if they are attacked that night. The Witch Doctor acts as the leader of the Cult. The Witch Doctor is a unique role.

- / Voter Choice 1 \ -
Vote for this town role in Research and Development!
{Commissioned!}

/ Voter Choice 2 \
Vote for this town role in Research and Development!
{Commissioned!}

But it says 4 and there are 6?
The final 2 roles, the Town Roles, will be implemented on April 16th (or later, if the fund raiser takes longer) if, and only if, this fund raisers reaches them.... so get to it people!

*opens wallet* "BBZZZZZZ" (flies leaving the wallet)

im a patient person, i think ill just wait until april 9 and 16

[Auckmid]

*Sigh*. Guess I actualy do need to donate one of these times>.>

Can I donate with a debit card, or do I need credit?

[Gerik]

I'm not sure I understand what the incentive to donate is. Just so we can see what the roles are? Why wouldn't we just wait until April 9th?

If $300 are donated, 2 extra roles which would otherwise be left will be implemented. Scummy but genius:P

Debit is fine

You CAN donate with a debit card. You can even donate with certain gift cards, like an AMEX gift card, or what was in my case, a VISA gift card.

Yeah, I saw that. But eh. I'm fine with the game as it is. It doesn't need more roles. The last time a "new role" was implemented, it was the mass murderer, which I hate. So I won't be donating. If other people want to, go ahead and do so, I guess.

so just because you didn't like the last role, ALL future roles from here on out will be ones that you hate.

i personally might donate to get those town roles.
though.... i don't suppose they are going to be released before they're commissioned. right?

No. Commission leads to implementation.

Who's idea was this?

Mine.

[Dark.Revenant]

To clarify, the three Mafia roles and the Neutral role have already been commissioned.

Wut

[Gerik]

Yes and no. No, one bad role does not mean all future roles are bad.

But I think all the roles that are being considered will not add much to the game. And I think mass murderer is a perfect example of this. It didn't add anything to the game.

What that signifies to me is that there just isn't much missing from the game that any new roles could potentially add. Sure, you can add roles that don't currently exist on SC2, but they won't have a meaningful impact on the game. Many FM roles can't exist due to the time constraints presented by such a quick game. Some can't exist purely due to interface/implementation issues. And the rest I'm fairly certain will:
1) Not do anything new (ie. be a combination of existing roles, which we don't need)
2) not affect the metagame at all OR
3) have a negative effect on the metagame.

[BorkBot]

I can kind of see Gerik's point of view.

Most of the roles that were recently being considered wouldn't have been my personal choices either. And I, too, dislike the mass murderer in the PR intensive games SC2 mafia usually sports.

Nonetheless, I do see this as a good initiative to fund development and maintenance. New roles WILL help to keep the SC2 map, and to a lesser extent this community alive.

[Voss]

what was the role before mass murderer that was added?

[BorkBot]

I think it was cultist, but I'm not sure.

(and yeah cults are great in SC2 mafia, despite what the random newbs say ;) )

Correct

[Archangel]

mafia has now sold out

[Voss]

i hope the guys in charge made sure this is okay, so we don't have another ZeroBlue incident.

[Voss]

and what was before cult?

zeroblue incident?

[Dark.Revenant]

This sort of thing is fine. In any case, the reason for the fundraiser is because I'm having money issues from lack of income. I'll have an internship over the summer but that won't help me pay my hundreds of dollars of taxes I owe.

[Jim]

I would donate, but I want a thermometor saying how much we have raised.

Mafia Role 1 unlocked: KIDNAPPER!

See the original post for the reveal and a link to the details.

[Numbertwo]

Another 30 should be added soon.

[Fragos]

Can I add one of my own roles on the condition that it will be revealed after we reach $500?

Will be a good help for the community, I guess. Unless that role is actually hidden among those above.

[Lazers]

Hold up where is Plato

[CardiffKilla]

I wish to donate because I obviously have cash to burn. Are the donor achievements still available?

I'd like access to R&D too. What will it cost?

30 dollars is enough to get Patron and access to R and D. And your forum name will be golden. You will also get ingame patron achivement.

[Raptorblaze]

I might donate some to this when I get paid next week, I only knew about the mafia roles not the neutral +town ones >.>

[Numbertwo]

i'll donate 20 when someone else donates 60 just to reveal the neutral and new town roles.

Dunno about the Donor achievements but you can get into R&D with any donor type so 1 dollar would work iirc

Think I can guess the final mafia roles and the neutral role.

$50 says Enchantress is going to be one of the Town roles.

Edit: Actualy, I think I might be able to guess 3/4 of the towns:P
