    I checked this way back when but never commented on it for some reason

    theme is quite interesting. like space invaders it revolves around a central figure (electrician/electricity) but without the gimmick that goes along with it; this is more like a standard mafia game, which is cool in this case. the conversion of another townie upon the electrician's death is actually an awesome mechanic and a good way to ensure that the village isn't fucked if the elect dies early game.

    that being said, the solo roles suck. town drunk is basically a godfather reskin and the assassin role is basically a team sided WW. you can do more interesting things with both of them that could revolve around the electricity imo.

    OK, so solo roles aren't so interesting. I'll make at least Assassin affected by Electricity (Light or no light doesn't matter for Town Drunk. Think about it, he's drunk!)

    Interesting gimmick for an interesting theme. Would really like to see this tested, but for now. Approve [4]

    It's a bit different from what I've seen from most other themes on here. Good work. Approved[5]

    With the addition of "initialCondition Curse" I would suggest changing the Electricity into a different role rather than dying. Being Electricity will be the bum role of the game, a reverse jackpot where your prize is a waste of a mafia game because you are forced to die after such a short period of time.

    I'm not sure if you are still pursuing this idea, but if you are, it would be a good thing to look into.

    Fuzzy... I really love that idea! Totally going to code that IMMEDIATELY so Electricity doesn't have to die!

    Wouldn't that change the entire theme? Without Electricty's onDeath:ConvertRoles, you would be unable to fix the lights for the roles that need it.

    No, I would make it like this:

    Everyone affected by Electricity has a curse that will take place in N3
    If Electrician dies, everyone will be converted into the same role with clearCurse

    ..But now when I'm thinking about it, there would be a lot of roles then, when you do /roles or /sides... I should probably wait for the /roles hiding feature and then code it.

    You could always spam Lamperi (or anyone else that managers Mafia script) until it gets added.


    I didn't realize what the electricity all did with dying, but still, no one likes being a role that is FORCED to die.

    Yeah, but I visit PO rarely because I'm too lazy & too busy playing with PS3 :/

    Electricity being forced to die is just a placeholder, I hate it too. I'd like to get around it but there is no possibility to convert specific roles the way onDeath does (well, I could do that with curse like I just said below but I need the /roles and /sides working.)

    Anyway, we currently have the hiding a role from /sides, /roles, and /priority. If you are still around, I can help you with the syntax and get it up and running.
