    Here's is my theme chess

    Why is it different?
    It's based off the real game chess. I tried to make it as realistic as possible, so if the king is lynched, the side that lynched it wins. You also can't team-kill during the night. The king can inspect and hax kills, so it is the primary connector for its team.

    Sides
    Black and White

    Pastebin

    Priority
    The pawns are 25
    The bishops are 24
    The rooks are 23
    The castles are 22
    The queen is 21
    The king is 26 (inspect)

    Roles
    Every Role can kill, but can't be killed by certain things. The pawn /kills, and can't be killed by his team. The bishop /kills, and can't be killed by his team, or the other team's pawn. The rook /kills but can't be killed by his team or the other team's pawn/bishop. The castle /kills, but can't be killed by his team or the other team's pawn/rook/bishop. The queen /kills but can't be killed by its team or the other team's pawn/rook/castle/bishop. The king inspects and haxes kills, and can't be killed by its team or the other team. It can only be voted out. If the king is lynched, the other side wins.

    You forgot knights (horsemen); rooks and castles are the same thing

    It's an interesting concept to say the least. The only problem I see is with the spawn list aka if that game has an odd number of people, black is always going to be at a disadvantage. Knights are not in the game which is :(. Also I feel like it would be cool if after like 6 nights the pawn could promote to a queen (since it takes that many turns at least in regular chess and pawns look useless late game which is the opposite in an actual game.) just some thoughts.

    Im fixing the code right now. I will think about the pawn thing, and might actually add it.
    Edit: Look at the pastebin for the changes.

    could you have a rock paper scissors relationship between the knight rook and bishop? ie the knight can kill the bishop but not the rook, the bishop can kill the rook but not the knight etc. This better mirrors their relationship in real chess. You might need a lone role to be used in uneven games (spawn list would be annoying tho). maybe a chessmaster who can kill and only be voted out?
