new thought for my custom role!

over 10 years

okay i've been working on a custom role but didn't finalize it because i don't like how it works right now. too complex and scattered, not /useful/ to sandbox games. but i had a new idea for it. picture this:

Third Party, conversion-type role.
HSF wins if they outnumber everyone else, like Cult.
One person who VISITS a HSF is converted.
The group chooses one person to Cthulu- every night.
HSF dies if converted to anything else.

So their primary strategy is to make everyone else unable to vote and lynch their way to victory. When mafia who try to kill them, one of the mafia just gets converted. Masons/cult/yak/zombies are their bane, and shrink would finally be useful for something!

would this be fun in sandbox? versatile enough that people might ignore that it's a homestuck fan and use it anyway?

(for comparison, this is the scattered nonsense i have planned right now: https://epicmafia.com/role/9738)

so keeping the following aspects:
= converts one visitor
= dies if converted

what if they convert dead to HSF? it's more cohesive than converting to villager, it screws with everyone's memory of what roles died so far, it messes with amnesiac and mortician... and it's amusing to think of homestuck fans talking at corpses about the comic ( because no one else will listen :C )

That works in no reveal.

I think remove the cthulhu thing. I think simply a "visit converts" seems like a great idea. As a night action, maybe they can do something involving the dead? They could have something which converts a dead to villager (for no reveal setups, it blocks the mortican).

@kino, since the quote button is failing for me: just the person who visits, and it should be only 1 person who visits. the group meeting is to give someone the cthulu effect.

oh wait do they convert someone AND someone who visits gets converted or just the person who visits?

they convert one person to cthulhu every night in a group meeting

a tragic truth, especially since sandbox official setup is pretty versatile and fun. :( but i've got the slots anyway, and a few of us are interested in making a fun custom setup.

any thoughts what exactly makes it op, and what i could do to make it less so?

sounds good but kind of op

most people don't use customs though just in general ( =( ) but i don't think this will get used any less than the others
