Agreed with the Framer. It needs to be able to affect every TI to be useful enough. Here are my ideas:
- Trackers see the Framed person visit a random person
- Lookouts cannot see the Framed person visit
- Psychics are guaranteed to have one of the Framed people, selected at random, appear in their evil visions (If Alice Young, Samuel Sewall, and John Hathorne are all Framed, then one of the three will be selected at random to appear in the evil vision. The actual evil still appears.)
- Spies bugging the Framed target see a random message added onto the original ones. Spies cannot see who the Framer visits.

If the proposed Invest change goes through, double-checking will be more painful because of the additional time delay. If Framers can target the Mafia as well, this would allow a Framer to tactically prevent an Investigator unmasking a specific target. Seems good to me.

I favor the much older proposal of having the Lookout/Tracker see the framed person visiting the Mafia kill.

I favor making it appear that framed people do not visit. Once the LO or Tracker fails to see the framed person visit when they do, the frame is removed.

The Disguiser buff proposed here looks OK, but it doesn't look like it could be combined with Kikigiri's idea, which I like better.
Ezradekezra wrote:I just thought of something that might help to eliminate the issue I brought up about a will taking too long to forge. Rather than forcing the Forger to write the will entirely within the night of the forgery, you could give them an extra notepad, which will be used as the input for the fake will. This would allow the Forger to begin writing the forged will earlier, perhaps even during the day if the Mafia is coordinated enough. The icon for it could be that of a regular will, with a bloody feather icon on top of it.
Brilliand wrote:Oh yeah, I think that was me who mentioned that (though it didn't originate with me; unfortunately I don't recall who should get credit).
It's a GREAT buff to the Forger... that takes most of the power away from the Blackmailer. Then we have to figure out how to buff the Blackmailer, which we haven't really been discussing because Blackmailer hasn't needed it up to now. (There have been a few proposals, but those just served to show that Blackmailing itself is hard to buff.)

Joacgroso wrote:It isn't that much of a nerf, in my opinion. Blackmailers shouldn't be able to read whispers, since their active ability (blackmailing) confirms their existence to the town, which means blackmailers can't blackmail if they want to read whispers. Keeping TIs quiet is still pretty good. Maybe a little buff would be only allowing a blackmailed person to vote once per day, so they can't spam votes to tell they are blackmailed, without them being unable to vote, which would work as a better mafia kill. Reading whispers would help forgers way more than blackmailers, and I think this would be an excellent and simple change.
