Welcome to the Testing Grounds!
The Testing Grounds (TG) is a relatively small community focused on examining and trialing user suggested roles to discover if they are suitable in a Town of Salem environment. In the Role Ideas forum, people are free to invent their own roles, suggest edits to existing roles, and otherwise discuss alterations or additions to ToS.
How Does It Work?
Users may submit role concepts to a public poll, where fellow forum goers may vote for the roles they support. The most popular roles are thoroughly analysed by TG Balancers. The concepts which are the most balanced out of this selected group are named TG Concepts and are then regularly tested in TG Tests, ToS simulations hosted twice a week by TG Hosts members. Currently, there are around 25 accepted roles in TG.
TG, however, is not just for those who aspire to create roles. TG also offers the ability to play original roles, opportunities to debate controversial adjustments for ToS, and a welcoming community which aims to improve ToS as a whole.
As a TL;DR:
Spoiler:
Everything we do is to make ToS more balanced, both with roles and mechanics. So far, we've helped contribute Tracker, Hypnotist, Arsonist, Witch, and new Investigator results to ToS - with more minds, imagine what else we could do!
If you have any further questions, please PM any of the current Role Idea Moderators or take a look at our FAQ.
