Hiya ~ Since i have been inspired by some themes, I decided to make a nonpeak theme called Stalkers. Just as what it says in the title, the main role of this theme are stalkers. I added a role called Macho Cop that can expose a person during the night but won't reveal them and the other one which is always in every theme is Mafia. --------------------------------------------- Pastebin ====> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=BEwu45yP --------------------------------------------- THEME Spoiler { "name": "Stalkers", "author": "Sir Betato", "summary": "It's stalkers versus the mafia, this theme is all about stalkers and the macho cop, it's obvious as it says in the theme and stalkers has to find who is the mafia who killed your partner!

Games of 4 is luck and lying. Games of 5 is 100% mafia win. Games of 6 is mostly village-sided, but not excessive. 7 and 8 might be too difficult for mafia. 9 is same old stuff. 10 village-sided by a lot. You are trying to differentiate the stalker setup slightly with an exposer. This is a powerful ability as you can't fake this. He will pretty much only be one day. Then it's back to stalking because dead. So, overall, you only actually added one thing to the basic setup which is a town buff and town is OP in this type of thing already. :> I shall Decline [1] for this reason.
Actually that's why the Macho Cop is not Revealed when he exposes, and for the other that you said .. Ouch, well it's true :>
Regardless if the macho cop is NOT revealed it gives him even more opportunities to clean people when this is already vanilla with abilities for the village (who don't really need it at all). So yeah, due to it looking heavily tipped in the side of the village Decline [2].
Village is overpowered with that Expose, and it's pretty much the same as Hannah's theme atm. Decline [3]
