Is anyone going to be upset with me if I actually edit posts to errata the problematic roles?

Town Earl -> Town Night 50 Visitor
Werewolf JOAT (with shots of a Finder for every unmodified Normal role) -> Werewolf JOAT (with shots of a Finder for every role in this thread (i will go through and actually make this list))
Town Combined Multitasking Night-one Role Cop Night-two Vanilla Cop One-shot Complex Vigilante Indecisive Night-two Night-three Doctor -> Town Multitasking N1 Role Cop N2 Combined Complex Checker Vigilante N2 N3 Doctor

Welcome! You are a

Town Multitasking N1 Role Cop N2 Combined Complex Checker Vigilante N2 N3 Indecisive Doctor.

You may use multiple different abilities in the same night, if you have several.
On Night One and Night One only, you may send me the name of a player prefixed by

RoleCop:

. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn your target's role (but not alignment).
On Night Two and Night Two only, you may send me the name of a player prefixed by

Checker Vig:

. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn if you successfully targeted your target, and attempt to kill them. Your ability only will succeed if it is not interfered with and if it targets someone who has a power role (non-Vanilla).
On Night Two and Night Three, you may also send me the name of a player prefixed by

Doctor:

or HEAL: . Assuming no interference with your action, you will protect your target from one? kill(s) attempted on them that night. You may not target the same person twice in a row with this action.

"oh that's cool they're universal backups! they'll inherit stuff from the townies they kill-"

"-

oh that's not how that works. oh no. oh no this team is vanilla against a role madness town

See, I don't know if that's the only thing, just the only thing that I noticed for obvious reasons. Figuring out if there's others would require a lot of effort going through all the roles to check them against the updates, so I figured that it's probably just all staying as is, as a testament to what was Normal at the time.

I'm slightly in favour of updating the multitasking modifiers, but I don't think there's any particular issue with leaving them as they are. I'll wait for others to weigh in on that.

I'd say that changing them (passively) all to Simultaneous will make them more aligned with the Normal guidelines.

Yeah, an update is necessary if we want the roles to be in accordance with the new Normal guidelines (which I would prefer).

I'm gonna go through and update all of the roles (also gave Alianna mod privs on the deck to doublecheck me) to fit with the new Normal guidelines (Multitask -> Simultaneous, etc.)

I am considering also opening the deck up for 100 more roles now that the guidelines have changed? It would be under the Complex Normal list. Jury's still out on whether or not it should allow Experimental roles.
