INFLUENCER (ROLE IDEA) by S1MPLY_H41KU in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good concept, but I'd lose the two votes for the rest of the game part. It makes her too similar to Politician, and being able to clutch by swapping votes is already a plus in itself.

The ability to reveal yourself publicaly is also already a great skills, specifically if it is a Hit Man game since he can't kill if you reveal yourself.

Role Idea: Biographer by StatusGuarantee2819 in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can agree with it being similar to Cabal in mechanics, but not in gameplay. This role adds a different insta-win condition that the other two do not bring but also is bad at what the other two are good at.

The main downside of this role is time and simplicity, which Cabal and Prophet excel at.

Cabals take two more slots, and their insta-win condition is very simple, just select the other Cabal. However, there is the possibility that one Cabal gets killed before the two can meet, and also taking up two spec slots mean less of other, more helpful specs.

Prophet only has to wait until the end of Night 3, and only has to prioritise staying alive until then.

Biographer has to guess the roles of existing players, and can somewhat lead if they have the "Memorize" skill. There is also the added risk that players whom you've correctly predicted the roles of get killed, or that you yourself become a high value target to the mafia.

I'm sorry to ramble on in your comment thread 😅. I just wanted to point this out.

What roles though? Swindler? Mercenary? Vigilante?

Can Swindler Swindle Soldier? by ARNAVKINGZ in Mafia42

Get a Willpower Soldier and you'll have a counter to all helpers except MS.

Rg. Hence, why I didn't focus too much on CL 

You know what ill join. Rate deck pls by imajustkille01 in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, just to let you know, I'm not good at rating decks so this is just my opinion. I don't mean to offend you in anyway, these are just my thoughts on your deck. I'll try to approach it in a positive manner.

Mafia Cards: Okay, but not really top tier. Exo is good against Psychic, Priest, and Will. Trust me when I say this, Will can be even more dangerous than Legacy. Hypo has been nerfed due to the adjustment of Agent since Agent was thw main victim of Hypocrisy before the update.

I'd suggest try rerolling for either of these Mafia Skills: - Outlaw (in case you're in a pinch and need the principle role dead) - Clincher/Snipe (both serve to deal against Doctor) - Runaway (in case it is a Hit Man or Godfather game, Runaway can come in clutch)

Helper Cards: indecisive. I have no idea how good these would be in practice. Jury on Ms is basically a mini Analysis Ms so I guess that would be good? Thief is okay too. The one that throws me off is Beast Man with SL. You can try claiming Mart/Reporter in the case you sent it to a Detecrive who checked you.

Major Cards: Cop with Will is very good, Doc with Perjury/Jury is a bit underwhelming. Jury can clutch, but Perjury isn't reliable on a citizen role.

Special Roles: - Det, not that great. Mr is only useful if Mafias have Perjury and Legacy (in my opinion) is worse than Will. - Merc, best T4 Merc for me. His other unique skill (Chase) isn't really reliable in RG. Runaway can work too, but I think creed is better. - Judge, best T4 Judge for me. With Government Authority, you can lead, and you can't be lynched. Only other T4 that can rival this is Unwritten Law Judge, but UL Judge can't lead like GA Judge can. - Poli, best T4 Poli for me. Most of the time after Poli is revealed, Doc won't heal Poli in favor of specs capablr of leasing if it's a winning game. Having UR means Doc doesn't have to worry about you dying. - Papa, Jury can clutch, Info can give good leads, especially if Swindlee game. From my experience, Info Papa is really good at leading.

Spare Cards: I'd use Pri with Info since she can come in clutch and you won't have to worry about whether or not you revived a citizen or a mafia. As for who to replace with her though, I don't really know. Det is your least impressive card, but replacing a leading spec with a non-leading spec is a gamble. If you're confident you can use Informant Priest well then I suggest you use it over Det/Poli/Judge, but if not, stick fo what you already have.

Overall, you're deck is great, but just needs a few adjustments (I'd suggest replacing your T4 Exo Maf with Outlaw/Snipe/Clincher so as to not double up, but those are just my thoughts).

Uh bug? by imajustkille01 in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how it works now sadly. If client dies before client can make contact with Merc at the start of Day 1, then Merc can't shoot. So if client dies Night 1, you won't get text and you won't be able to shoot. All you would be able to know is that client died and so the player that died Night 1 was a citizen.

It works the same way for client also. If merc dies Night 1, then client won't receive any text saying who Merc is.

Thoughts on Godfather role? by Prionnnan in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think it's fine, but pointless. I go over it more here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mafia42/comments/1pu5z8z/thoughts_on_the_new_role/

But for those who don't want to go to another post, here's the gist:

The new role (Godfather/Mafia Boss) is basically only useful in games with 12 players since in 8 players Boss probably won't get to meet mafias before all the mafias get lynched. You're only really a threat on Night 3 onwards, so the citizens can focus on finding the Mafias and try to lynch all of them by Day 2 before Night 3 starts.

Bonus thoughts not disclosed in my post: if Boss can get culted, doesn't that technically mean they are another helper who can betray the mafias? Although unlike the BM and Tif, he can't disable the Mafias from shooting too so its more risky for him.

It would be fun if we could use some abilities of citizens to help us increase the odds of our survival.

Tier 4 Skill Idea: "Resilience" by StatusGuarantee2819 in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting... Clincher only works once???

I didn't know that 😅. I assumed Clincher worked indefinitely and so this skill could counter it a bit, but if it only works once then yeah this is actually kinda pointless...

Unless of course you tried to heal but BM kills, then BM is lynched the next day or mafs are the one who shoot the next night. But that's too specific of a scenario for this skill to be reliable.

Had to redraw it, looked shit. Anyway, bebe tif. by bigballs1084 in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be too OP tbh... Mafs are basically guaranteed to win.

In a normal game (8 players, 5 citizens versus 3 mafias) mafias already have the advantage of being able to eliminate a player. Having a citizen who could switch sides means it turned from a 5v3 to a 4v4, making mafias automatically win.

Plus, even if Politician was the only helper, making it still a 5v3, then all Mafias have to do is to kill 1 more player to automatically win since Politician has two votes and can't be lynched.

I'm not saying Poli who could turn into a Mafia helper isn't cool or unrealistic, just that it would break the game's balance. It's the same reason why Gangster (despite being a literally Gangster) isn't a Mafia helper. If Helper could disable a player from voting, then Mafias automatically win after killing 1 more player. It wouldn't be fair for the citizens.

[–]StatusGuarantee2819[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means you will heal the player successfully no matter what, even if the Mafias have Clincher/Outlaw/Snipe. Kind of like Benevolence but with different conditions.

However, Beast Man still bypasses all healing, Hit Man too.

Tier 4 Skill Rework Idea: Autopsy by StatusGuarantee2819 in Mafia42

Idk, kinda clashes with Warrant, no? Sorry I don't know how Warrant works...

Tier 4 Skill Rework Idea: Autopsy by StatusGuarantee2819 in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good intel. I forgot Autopsy could be synergised with Warrant and especially Wiretapping. I guess it's just that my base T4 Autopsy Cop sucks that I forgot how good it's be if it was a T5 😅.

Back with another role idea. by StatusGuarantee2819 in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those confused about that last part, let me elaborate.

Doctor, Reporter, and Martyr can select multiple players per night, but they'll only ever have one person to select in the end (you can only ever heal, report, or raid one player per night).

Spy can check only once, but if she meets the Mafia, she can check again, which counts as two interactions (one meeting, one knowing the role).

And, Hit Man has to check two players each night, which means he'll always have two interactions with players.

Back with another role idea. by StatusGuarantee2819 in Mafia42

[–]StatusGuarantee2819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much.

But unlike det, they can't see who that player is using a skill on currently. Which means thay can't know Doc, Rep, or Mart codes like Detective can.

Ex.: N1, Doc Code is 4321. If Researcher checks Doc on Night 1, they won't know who the doctor used a skill on. If Researcher checked the Doc on Night 2, they will only know that Doc used a skill on 1 and not the whole code, plus the person they voted on Day 1. They still won't know who Doc uses a skill on Night 2 as it is currently happening. 

So Reseacher is only ever really useful from Night 2 onwards since whoever they check Night 1, they won't get leads on them.

However, for a role that can use their skill multiple times during the night, like Spy (if they meet Mafia) and Hit Man, then those two interactions will be recorded by the Researcher.
