Medium Curse = Power?

"if you are killed night 1, your curse will afflict your killer on night 2, role blocking them but allowing them to speak with the dead."

This ability seems really random and doesn't really provide anything to the game in terms of balance changes.

Have you ever played the game? I'm genuinely confused by your words. Maybe this was a joke reply; I'm not sure.

When medium dies night 1, town loves it. It's a meme. Several people chime in about the curse every time it happens. How is this random? Have you played the game for real?

Also what do you mean it does nothing for balance changes? Medium is considered one of the weakest roles, and this way if you claim day 1 you are likely to not be attacked night 1, and if you do you get to have an impact by roleblocking whoever killed you.

You can claim Medium right now on Day 1 and it's unlikely anyone will want to kill such a weak and unimportant role. But you wouldn't want to claim Day 1 as Medium with or without your suggested ability because by telling the evils who not to kill you narrow the potential pool of players who are worthwhile to attack.

I think they're saying that your suggestion doesn't really fit with Medium's other abilities. Kills on night 1 are pretty random, so it doesn't seem fair to punish a killer for being unlucky.

how did you get that from the one sentence they wrote? they said the ability seems "really random" as if medium curse isn't like the top meme of the game, and that it doesn't change the balance of anything. I'm really genuinely confused by how you got that from what they wrote...

Kills on night 1 are pretty random, so it doesn't seem fair to punish a killer for being unlucky.
... you mean like getting randomly witched into a medusa or crusader or veteran night 1 or getting unlucky enough to get a bad role in the first place, like medium? this is making the game more fair, giving mediums slightly more influence on the game.

Sounds like a power coming from a meme which makes no sense and would be unfun for almost everyone

I would suggest something different about the medium curse. Make it an achievement, call it "Breaking the Curse" and the requirement is to survive the night one as Medium.

Medium needs a total rework, it's a boring role that brings nothing to the game apart from randomly countering a few roles (Ambusher/medusa/janitor) and sometimes getting confirmed by another med or in rare cases gets some Ti info the night the ti died.
