Basic Roles

Some Normal roles are quite complicated for newbie players.

I'm going to establish a Simple whitelist which is fundamental roles for players to understand:

Roles considered Simple are:

Vanilla

Cop

Doctor

Roleblocker

Mason

Tracker

Jailkeeper

Role Cop

Friendly Neighbor

Bulletproof

Fruit Vendor

Neapolitan

Vanilla Cop

Vigilante

Neighbor


Modifiers considered Simple are:

X-Shot

Even/Odd Night

Night Specific

these I feel are simple:

Loyal/Disloyal

Night X
(Night Specific limited to 1 day, also think
Night X, Y
is simple but idk.)
Neapolitan
(but only because it was in 2d3)
Vanilla Cop
(if we're adding
Neapolitan
this is simpler and is a no brainer to add)
time will end

I consider Vigilante and Neighbor to be simple roles
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.

I'm renaming Simple to Basic so that it doesn't conflict on the wiki.
