Killers

[Blackraven]

I think that if a Killer (mafia, serial, etc) is targeting a Roleblocker, and that very same roleblocker blocks that killer, the roleblocker should be killed.

How come?

[Tysheth]

I can see the reasoning. If a vigilante is dead set on killing a hooker, what would the vigilante do if the hooker rang his doorbell to show him a good time? It could go either way.

I'm in support of the status quo, though, with the escort or consort winning the battle of the wills.

Look at Tysheth's example.
Imagine it in real life:
You plan to kill this person, and that person comes to your house, in the middle of the night, all alone. Do you do "Oh no, that person is occupying my night so i can't go and kill that very same person!" or would you do the logical thing: "Mwehehehe, perfect." and kill them?

I am all for balance. I can see the reasoning in a certain role only being able to kill certain role-blockers in this scenario. I am just putting this idea out there. The actual balancing, approval, and restrictions are entirely up to the creators.

Nope, the rb'er seduces the killer. Since that's what they're supposed to do anyway. PWNED

There already is an option for SK to do this.

However, if it did this for every single role and was always on.. it would not only defeat purpose of role blockers it would completely break the game.

So no...

Ambient, I don't think you read all of our posts. Please do so to understand it correctly.
Roleblockers are supposed to block people from doing their roles.
However, i am saying that, for example, a mafiaso should be able to kill a hooker, if that mafiaso targets it, even if that hooker tries to roleblock that mafiaso.
THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE, i can understand if the hooker wins that battle of wills, and manages to seduce the mafiaso. but there are many types of roleblockers, and many types of killers.

i am NOT talking about auto-killing roleblockers when they target you.

From a gameplay point of perspective, i don't see any justification.


As for lore, there are easy reasons to come up.

1. You see them at your house, you can't kill them, the crime scene would point all fingers to you woudln't it. Since you were alive and she was dead.

2. As an escort, or consort, i've never pictured myself as actually being the person to do it. Simply as a pimp sending a whore over to distract. Or is everyone bi in maifa?


Anyway, back to the point i wouldn't want that option to make it live. It'd make the escort class harder to be useful.
It'd also make the class considerably less useful as time goes on, and add an exception to the rule that would bring doubt into the equation should she be killed while on the job. You'd never know if she was successfully roll blocking and just got unlucky, or she was fail blocking.

Point is, this change does nothing for the gameplay, and "lore" wise, it can be easily justified either way by creative thinking.

And my firm belief is that gameplay > balance > lore

If I was single and if I was a virgin and a hot girl came to my house to "Occupy" my night, I'd gladly take a night off.

Then again, I'm a virgin AND I'm single... I'm sad now... *Walks to emo corner*

Do not see a reason for this being in Wiki Discussion, so moving it to Mafia Discussion...

Close it if you want guys, this is OLD.
