Few small changes that will improve the game

[Dagaen]

Just few ideas to make this game more accessible for everyone.

1. Let people know about repick option! Right now after 15 secs microscopic subtitle appears saying that we can use "-repick" to select new host. This option should be WAY more visible! I bet many people are tired from telling people to repick. So:

- make this subtitle bigger! Maybe use brighter colors?
- we can use notification in chat as well, similar to "Stop spamming!". After 15 secs automatic message would appear saying that we can use repick
- or just add flashy button above chat

2. Make graveyard and roles list opened by default. Every good player has to click on them every time and many new players just never notice those little squares. If they would be opened by default, learning the game would be easier.

3. Many players don't know how to check their points. Statistics are now in help menu which is counterintuitive. Maybe add another button next to help and log?

4. After Mayor/Marshall reveals make number next to their name green. This will prevent accidental voting on confirmed townies and will help players who don't pay that much attention. It's very easy to forget who was who during dynamic discussion and from what I know killing confirmed townies can be considered gamethrowing. Do we have to check the log every time we forget something?

5. It would be awesome if some settings like -magnify could be saved or remembered. Saving blacklists and prefers would be nice too. Maybe smth like "-remember blacklist", "-remember prefer" after blacklisting/prefering and "-load blacklist/prefer".


Most of these changes shouldn't be too hard to implement.

I support all of your suggestions except for the fourth one (Mayor/Marshall thing).
Why? Because of disguiser and cult.

[Dagaen]

Well this number could still be green. It would just mean that at one point that player revealed himself.

All 5 points have my support!

Some people claim noob in-game when on trial or something, but when you check the help menu there is nobody with fewer games then 20-30. The suggestion would make it easier to spot these kind of fake defenses.

Out of all of those I would really love the whole repick change. Too many leave trains happen because whoever gets host goes afk during loading and then we can't get enough people to repick the person since half of the lobby is actually afk. It would be nice for everyone to see they can repick.

3 would require an entire new menu to be implemented, at present those buttons just link to buttons present in the normal UI (F10, F11, and F12 are the hotkeys). Other than that difficulty I like them all.

Well it doesn't have to be "classic" menu, just another window, like roles-list or graveyards. Sure, we are lacking space, but I'm sure it's possible to think of something here.
