Roles

[LunarFlare]

 Note: This is just an idea. Not something that has to be official. I'd appreciate feedback, though.

So, in my experience playing Rabbit Doubt here, I found it quite difficult to find out the wolf's identity through sheer behavioral patterns and instinct.

Like what Rabbit Doubt is based off of, Mafia, maybe on occasions the Host can implement the "Roles" feature.

In this special feature, unique roles other than wolf/rabbit will be distributed to the players. They will have special powers and/or abilities, just like in Mafia.

Now, remember, if we implemented this, it would be totally optional. I am definitely a fan of the classics in Rabbit Doubt. Just find it a bit difficult sometimes, y'know?

If this was taken as an actual rule, then here's how it would work.

- The host will personally message all players their roles.

- The host will state all the roles before the game starts, and how many of the roles there are.

Here are some role ideas:

---

RABBITS

Detective Rabbit- Can choose one player to investigate. Will learn the party the player is sided with.

Nurse Rabbit- Can choose one player to save from death each night, including themselves.

Hooker Rabbit- Can choose one player to roleblock each night, preventing them from using their ability.

Medium Rabbit- Can communicate with the dead rabbits daily.

Necromancer Rabbit- Can revive a dead rabbit from the graveyard. Only can be used once per game.

Rabbit- Helps the town find and kill the Wolves.

---

WOLVES

Framer Wolf- Can choose a rabbit to frame as "a wolf" on Detective Rabbit reports.

Hypnotist Wolf- Can give a rabbit a false memory per night. (ex. "You were roleblocked")

Maid Wolf- Can clear the role of a dead player, making their role unknown.

Alpha Wolf- The head of the wolves. Appears innocent on Detective Rabbit reports, and can choose who Wolves kill.

Blackmailer Wolf- Can blackmail a rabbit each night into not speaking in the trials.

Wolf- Kills someone each night.

Well, we come up with special roles every time we make a special game. I don't mind special games from time to time, but I'd rather not make them a permanent thing.

Ah, I understand.

The thing is though - for this, I didn't really want it to be a permanent thing, rather just an optional thing hosts can decide to use.

But I see what you're saying. I appreciate the feedback!

I would be fine with a Sheriff for wabbits and a Don for wolves, but I think the lack of roles is what makes Rabbit Doubt, Rabbit Doubt, you know what I mean? I would prefer not to have them permanently.

Yeah, I agree to Kuro. Sure I do love special games, but if we would take on these roles for every game we actually wouldn't have any special games anymore or the GM's would need to think of something really really special.
Also... if it would be normal I guess there would be less people interested... I mean they're often more people in special ones than normal ones.
And another thing is is that if you find a wolf just by analyzing it's way more... well a higher feeling of sucess? xD Maybe you know what I mean.

But of what I could think of is something similar to what the French site does (even if I just played once.... French is just KITTENS!ing hard :x) called "Doubt Town". It's a game limited by... I think it was 7 people and you need to do some kind of gambling or riddle solving and do role play. But stuff like that can be done in normal games as well
