I have been inactive for quite a while. The forum became a thread now? XD Anyway, I got this idea of a sort of a Detective Conan theme where there is 2 sides: CONAN'S SIDE: Detective Conan - Vote = 0. Can Inspect someone every night. Cannot be lynched or killed. Gets a boost whenever he inspects a Proof. Boosts increases his chance to have a true inspect. After "gathering" a certain amount of Proofs, he wins. Innoncent - Vote = 1. Can /alibi itself once every couple of nights to try converting into a True Innocent. Inspects as a Suspect. True Innocent - Vote = 1. Can expose his alibi once during the day, prooving his innoncence to everyone. Suspect - Virtual role. CRIMINAL'S SIDE: Criminal - Vote = 1. Can kill during the night starting from night 2. Can guard a Proof once every 2 nights (Cannot use both guard an kill on the same night). Can daykill (in big games). Inspects as a Suspect. Proof - Vote = -1.5. Dies when inspected, giving a boost stack to Detective Conan. Important Proof - Vote = -1. Dies when inspected, giving double boost stacks to Detective Conan.
Actually, this is just a stick thread in this session. Ask for a moderator to split your post (and mine too) into a separated thread so it gets better visibility. As for the theme, why do it needs to be Detective Conan-themed? Unless you work the other characters on roles messages, it could very well be simply a "Detective" theme since you only have one character from the series. That aside, I think you have an interesting concept. There's an inspector role, but they can't find much unless they collect some proofs. It will probably need some tweaks, but I like the core idea. As for what may need to tweaked, I would say that Conan auto-winning with a number of proofs could be removed. In my opinion, it would be better to stick to a "find the criminal" setting than to a "find the proofs". But that's just me. Another question is the need for that -1.5 vote. It doesn't seem to add much, only makes things confusing. You should explain if Criminals Side know each other or not. Finally, depending on the Good/Baddie ratio and the chances of Innocent converting into True Innocent, having True Innocent self-exposing could be too strong. Perhaps you could think about changing /alibi to an action that requires more thought from the player instead of being a simple self-convert.
Well, proofs are sided with the Criminal, finding the Criminal OR Enough Proofs is the condition for the village to win. ^^ And yeah, I think I should simply remove Conan as the only role from the anime in the theme XD (I was thinking to rename Criminal into Black Silhouette haha but nah)
