I like it, would like to see a role blocking role for town though.


-Prefer Mask Maker

If you are incorrect, you cannot make any more guesses for the rest of the day.

Unlimited guesses per day.

These two statements contradict. Which one is true?

I'd understand this more if I had watched what this was based off of.

Kira has unlimited guesses, but can't make any additional guesses if he's wrong. If he guesses right, he can attempt to guess again that day.

I'll edit to clarify, though.

I guess guessing wrong puts a limit on "unlimited" lol

inb4 mlg guessing kira wins d1

inb4 mlg guessing kira wins d1

Hahaha would be hard to just randomly guess the names. But yes, that's possible lol.

I'd understand this more if I had watched what this was based off of.

Also, in deathnote, there are these notebooks that are called "deathnotes". If you write someone's name in the book while imagining their face, they will die of a heart attack. You can also write in the book how you want them to die, and it'll happen that way.
People who have deathnotes can also give up 50% of their remaining lifespan for shinigami eyes, which let's them see people's real name.

Kira's Lover has the eyes, so s/he will be able to direct target & kill.

There, added a Bodyguard as a reverse roleblocker.
Roleblocking doesn't really make sense with the theme, so I didn't want to add anything like that.

I feel like Town is too powerful in this setup. Granted, Mafia has the potential to utterly devastate in one day but realistically that would not happen. Futhermore, Mafia runs the risk of attacking themselves.

With the FBI voting block (FBI's are also harder to kill) and a couple of days of investigations, Mafia will surely find it a struggle to keep all of their members alive. Without Kira's Lover, the KPN is too variable for Mafia to be viable in the short run.

Halo
Was going to post from when at comp, but I'll try from phone

The more people die, the higher chance Kira has to guess if he has no leads. Plus, Kira can kill one person a cycle unless he hits an FBI. Kira's lover can kill 1 person every second night, and can post names in journalist article on the day s/he does not. That gives Kira an extra kill on the day Kira Lover is on cool down.

Mafia doesn't really risk attacking themselves, except Kira against Kiras lover and Kiras lover against Student. Kira knows the name of his student, so he won't kill him when he checks him.

I guess I can take away FBI ability to find name, that way Kira's Lover can freely claim their real name in journalist chat. That would prevent Kiras Lover being killed by Kira.
I could also make it so Student replaces whichever Kira/Lover that dies first.

However, with a minimum of 2 KPN per cycle, game would only last 4-5 days. Which doesn't seem impossible for scum to achieve.

I'll think of more ways to balance, but if you have any suggestions

[Cryptonic]

I wasn't really clear but
Kira isn't variable because he can check 1 player at night and learn their name. So they can kill him during the day and that's basically 1 KPN minimum

That wasn't in the setup Kira's Lover can do that, but there are no mentions of checking for Kira. I think that would make be enough to make it balanced.
