Read Your Role

[NastyNate]

Making players read role descriptions is such a stupid way to ruin the game.

Are there any plans to address this? I usually lose when I'm evil because of this in almost every single game.

What servers are you playing on?
I'm on NA and haven't seen that problem since June.

[NastyNate]

NA, guess you are really lucky then.

[Inca_Killa]

There's nothing that you can really do administratively unless you have a moderator in the game.


However, if as a community we all agreed to NOT do this, we could make it go away for pure peer pressure. Inhouse anyways.

[MENTLEGEN]

:o

I've never seen this.

[wightsnow]

I've seen it and refuse to answer every time no matter what.

[EagleMan]

So it's probably not possible to just force hide the role card while on trial then?

[Luna]

Sorry I'm a tad confused, what exactly is going on here? What are people doing in games that's bad?

People that are accused of being scum who then claim a role are forced to type their role description while on trial.
This leads to people being lynched for a false claim just because they haven't memorized every role card.

just put the rolecards into help menu.
Problem solved?

Game limit/ help menu bloat, problem not solved.

DR can't add another tab to the help tab without significant coding and creating it's own UI.

[philie]

No need for new tab, just replace all the bullshit text with the rolecard. ofc it will weight slightly more, but maybe there was a little space left.
for example
Citizen
(insert rolecard here)
-setting1
-setting2
alignment:town

edit: this is wishful thinking, but IF script limit is lifted, help tab could contain more strategy and tricks you could do with all the roles (like stuff from wiki)

edit2: dont hate for calling the description "bs", maybe you made it, i apologise.
but as of now its a lot of text which could be a rolecard

[Lazers]

There is a complete list of the roles and their alignment, abilities, etc. under Help/Tips

[philie]

yes there is. My suggestion was to change them to rolecards so that everyone could read them

[Dark.Revenant]

Those things literally are the role cards. They are generated exactly the same way as everyone else's role cards.

Even if you had the exact role card word by word it wouldn't neccessarily stop. People could give the accused just a few seconds to do it, otherwise it's "proven" that they needed to look it up in the help menu and they get lynched anyway.

In game, people will ask you to type the role card word for word as it appears in the top right. There is a difference between that description and the one in the help tab (at least last time I was on).

Everyone has time to read and learn their faked rolecard. Adding this has a chance to make this shit die out.

I made the game, bro. They are identical.

Lol seriously, wtf are these guys talking about? This isn't even an issue.

It depends, I was a fairly major issue awhile ago, rev even change the loading screen b/c of it. If this come back too much, it can change the game a lot.

Soz, it's why I qualified my answer with last time I was on (some months ago).
