Conspirator Mask

Conspirator

(Conspirator/Conspirator Mask)
Alignment:Conspirator
You have a factional action. It has the effects of a Voyeur on odd nights and the effects of a nightkill on even nights.
You have another day factional action you may use the same cycle. It adds Conspirators or people masquerading as Conspirators to the factional PT. It takes effect at the end of the day. This is a targeted action. If your target is not of the faction they had at the beginning of the game both the acting Conspirator and the target will die instead.
At the start of the game, up to 3 Conspirators get a factional PT as follows:
Give the first and second Conspirator access to the factional PT.
The third Conspirator does not get access to the factional PT. A town-aligned person(randomly chosen) masquerades themselves as conspirator if no other role would masquerade as Conspirator.
The fourth Conspirator gets access to the factional PT if there are exactly four Conspirators. Otherwise, not.
The rest of the conspirators does not get access to the factional PT.
The people having access to the factional PT are the leaders of the faction and control the factional action by vote.
They are also informed about the identity of other conspirators and all people masquerading as conspirators, but only by getting their names in a single list(so they do not know who is a real conspirator and who is not)
Warning:Your factional action can be used by people masquerading themselves as Conspirators!

Win Condition:You win when all threats to the conspirators are eliminated and at least one Conspirator survives.

Role:Conspirator Mask
If you are a conspirator you cannot gain access to the factional PT at the beginning of the game.
You appear in the Conspirator list in the Conspirator PT and might gain access to the Conspirator PT.

Alignment ratio TBD, but I'm thinking 250 Town, 250 Nowt, 100 Non-Standard Groupscum, 50 Non-Standard Third-parites, and 350 Free Spaces.

Do Free Spaces allow us to put in "crazy stuff", e.g. re-rolls, that does not introduce standard factions other than Town?

Not Known 15's WARNING

(Evil Person/Informed)
Alignment:

Evil Person

You win if the factions Town and Nowt lose the game.
Role:Informed:You know if the following post numbers are in the game:

15

Inform the player about every of these post numbers being in game or not at game start.

---

No, don't worry, I will not submit any other list like this as a card.
I am submitting this list to make certain entries rarer, entries that I believe to be either generally unfun, breaking the usual structure and/or expectations of card choosing games.
Card 15: The role on this card coupled with self-aligned players could lead to "I will never release anyone". Players in this game expect role madness, not near-Vanilla games.
Vanillaizers only affect one person at a time, and target due to other's behaviours. None of this applies to that Passive Game-Start Global Vanillaizer.

Card 19: The alignment... where do I even begin? N0 hostile conversions are unfun. Extremely unfun. You didn't do anything in the game yet, and you were probably not able to. BOOM. Oh, you now have a giant target on your back and your role you chose for your faction is now potentially useless and you have a new alignment! Wait there's more! If you die you lose! And you need to compulsively pick someone else to give them the same alignment! And the one who chose Assassin might be even a dayvig who instakills you! Does this sound

fun

? Or even remotely fair? Is this what you'd normally expect from card choosing games?

Conspirator Infiltrator

(Conspirator/Infiltrator)
Alignment:Conspirator
You have a factional action. It has the effects of a Voyeur on odd nights and the effects of a nightkill on even nights.
You have another day factional action you may use the same cycle. It adds Conspirators or people masquerading as Conspirators to the factional PT. It takes effect at the end of the day. This is a targeted action. If your target is not of the faction they had at the beginning of the game both the acting Conspirator and the target will die instead.

The rest of the conspirators does not.
The people having access to the factional PT are the leaders of the faction and control the factional action by vote.
They are also informed about the identity of other conspirators and all people masquerading as conspirators, but only by getting their names in a single list(so they do not know who is a real conspirator and who is not)
Warning:Your factional action can be used by people masquerading themselves as Conspirators!

Win Condition:You win when all threats to the conspirators are eliminated and at least one Conspirator survives. Nowt and Conspirators are not threats to each other.

Role:Infiltrator
If you are a conspirator you cannot gain access to the factional PT at the beginning of the game.
If there is no Conspirator Mask, a random Infiltrator appears in the Conspirator list in the Conspirator PT and might gain access to the Conspirator PT.

Card 15, Card 19

Alignment:

You forget that the role in card 15 comes with a separate win condition forcing the player to enable 4 types of roles before they can win.

But if you are going to create cards that VETO other people's cards, two can play that game bud. One thing is saying that someone will veto the card as a mod if it ever rands, another is making a card to impose your will on this collaborative deck.

One card, not more. I have no issues with you creating one veto card as well...

The issue is "seperate". This is for a game with people choosing one card for role, and one for alignment. So either that one part is for alignment, or that part is not where it should be - a win condition on a role card.
The problem with Assassin is not merely that it is difficult to fulfill, or even maybe impossible for the person who picked it.
The problem with Assassin is that it might give others a win condition that they did NOT pick and may be unfulfillable for THESE people and that it does so before Day 1.
The mark isn't really(unless there are tons of cards like it) that a card is potentially unfun for the picker but rather for many people who DIDN'T pick it.

Town Alarmist

(Town/Alarmist)
Alignment:Town
Role:Alarmist
At night, you may target a player to prevent them from being converted. You cannot target yourself at all.

Crazy shit happens and roles like 13 are half the fun. Do I take the cult like roll, or will there be some anti-cult measure that makes that a bad choice?

---

Yeah, and that's why I didn't put Troll into it. There aren't many Trolls, and

it doesn't pick before the end of Day 1

.

Player's behaviour still influences the usage of this role.

Now, I do not know why you have an issue with public feedback, because it allows others to give their opinion on the matter.
And I want to point out that "Do I take alignment X or" is the difference between 13 and Assassin. With 13, your alignment was still your choice. With Assassin, your never have a chance to even play under your original win condition, so your choice was effectively taken for you by another player before you had a chance to play. And I want to point out that there is still a maximum of 4 players affected.
13 is also not invulnerable, it can be killed, opening up conversion. There's a way around 13 stopping your conversions that's always avaliable:Get rid of it.

Town Do Not Feed The Trolls

Alignment:Town
Role:Do Not Feed The Trolls
You cannot visit anyone with the alignment Troll.
You cannot be converted by Trolls. Trolls visiting you get converted into Survivors.

Town 2-Shot Watcher

(

Town

/ 2-Shot Watcher)

Twice in the game during night, you may learn which other players targeted another player.

---

I want a

Town

majority in this deck ideally. I have refactored my

Nowt

roles.

Good call.

Did the same.

Can you include a cap for conversion roles? Too many of these could lead to predictable and boring mass-conversion games.
