Can/Should BMG prevent blackmailed signalling?

Postby ThePeePeePooPooMan » Mon Jan 23, 2023 1:56 pm

Someone is blackmailed, they vote-spam in the chat, players mutually recognize this as signalling they are blackmailed. My question is: Should BMG do something to prevent this type of blackmailed signalling to make blackmailing more powerful? It seems simple enough to increase the delay between vote toggling so it can't be spammed as quickly, but would this have any negative effects on the game? Would this introduce new blackmailed-signalling meta that would be worse than what we have now? (and if so, should THAT be changed to to also prevent signalling?)

Also post any other suggestions for changes to address this, including reworking the whole role if that's what you think is best!

The bmed person still cant share any information and you can fake the signaling, so no

No, this is how blackmailing has always worked and it's fine as it is.
My Name Picks:

Royal Match - my default pick
Melon King - when someone named themselves Pumpkin King
Godfather - for role theme or to just bait people
Cottan Mother - to cause confusion

if it ain't broke don't fix it. blackmailer is one of the roles i hope they never tweak because it's perfectly fine as is. not too weak, not invincible, just right
