No thanks!!

Hmm I don't think you read this role very well.

Firstly, the Wannabe cannot be killed by the Mafia. Constant Mafia immunity.
Secondly, it has a disguise ability.
Thirdly, it will be hard to know if this role is in the game, because of its alignment.

I do agree it's still UP though. Do you think I should give it full immunity?


Either that or let it win with other neutrals (I.E. nk)

I don't mind really, the alignment thing doesn't matter. This thread is about the role lol.

The idea behind the renaming was to have some roles that rarely show up in games. I guess that's what NC is anyway so it's ok

Hmm... If I make it win with NKs, it would mean all NKs will lose if it wins - the point of this role is it wins with a faction that must kill it. Making it win with NKs would actually nerf all NKs. And besides, I would have to give it full immunity anyway, to protect it from NKs constantly trying to kill it.

Thanks for the suggestion :) but I'm afraid for now I'll have to keep it as just winning with Mafia, maybe give it full immunity actually.

Ok I've got an idea. What if I change the Wannabe's win conditions, so:

Wannabe becomes NB
It just needs to survive until the end of the game, like Survivor, BUT...
When a Wannabe wins, everyone else loses. So people must kill the Wannabe.
I'll give the Wannabe full immunity if I change its win condition.
Of course, it will keep the disguise ability to escape detection.

How does that sound?

It will win with everyone, it's just that everyone will have to kill it.

(Please note that it currently only wins with Mafia. I was suggesting a change)

So how about if the Wannabe can win with anyone? It would solve the role dependency problem and fix some UP stuff too.

Basically I'll make it so it has the same goal as Survivor but every single faction in the game will HAVE to kill the Wannabe to win. To balance this I'll give it Night Immunity. And it will keep the disguise ability to avoid being detected. And I can also keep it NC.

The problem is that this may make the role too easy to win as. Because all it will need to do is survive. I quite liked the idea of having to work with the Mafia, and not being able to just throw them under the bus and switch to an NK. It would be too influential, basically a kingmaker.

So I'm currently going to keep it as only winning with the Mafia, but I'll keep my options open for the Survivor-like goal.

1: A made up category


2: It needs to help the mafia so that it can just steal the win. How about a witch? that makes things much easier on both sides.

gonna have to reject this.

Just put it in Neutral Evil- it doesn't kill, but it has an ability that will cause trouble for other roles.
Just ignore his second point. I like this role.

So, the logical point should be ignored.. because you like it.

I'll just have to convince you.

Why play as a role that doesn't do anything but wait for the Mafia to win, then steal it?
When you can play as a role that does do things, and wins with them?

This role DOES do things- it disguises as other roles to avoid detection by investigative roles.

Actually, I do see one downside. How would the mafia know there's a wannabe if they always disguise as someone else? Do they just have to get lucky?

What is it with this place and the obsession with alignments lol... Look I really don't mind what alignment the role is, this topic is about the role itself.

It was originally NE, but the problem was:

1. It can't win with NKs - NEs win with anyone but town

2. It becomes too easy to find out if there's a Wannabe - Wannabes can only win if Mafia doesn't realise there is one, otherwise they would always lynch the Wannabe first.

As Majestic said, the Wannabe does do things. The main idea of this role, the uniqueness, it comes from the goal - It wins with Mafia, but Mafia doesn't win with it.

Actually, I do see one downside. How would the mafia know there's a wannabe if they always disguise as someone else? Do they just have to get lucky?

Well if the Mafia could find out if there was a Wannabe, they would make sure he is lynched before the last town, making it impossible for the Wannabe to win without a kingmaker. One thing I could do is add an ability so if they die, the Wannabe is only revealed as whatever role they disguised as. So the Mafia can never know if the Wannabe is really dead. But that may be too much like the new Disguiser.

Basically, the Mafia have to scumread to find the Wannabe. But you're right, this may make it quite hard for the Mafia, I need to find a balance between the two.

Thanks for the support!! :D
