[FEATURE] Editable Reminder Tokens #178

Closed ApolloNik closed 6 months ago

What problem are you trying to solve?

Editing tokens is often very useful but often notes can be verbose and what they are in reference to can be difficult and cause difficulty remembering note context or cause notes to be excessively long.

Describe the solution you'd like

Having the ability to edit the text of reminder tokens. Will make the game to be far more accessible. It also lets people add information to reminder tokens for additional context related to that info.

Example: the Slayer "no-ability" token can be placed on me and edited with the info "shot d2" or placed on the Slayer "shot ApolloNik d2".

Hi ApolloNik, thanks for the suggestion! The official reminder tokens are not going to be editable because they should always reflect the game state exactly how they were designed. The "custom reminder" tokens already offer the option to keep a set of brief notes, similar to what you suggested. Blood on the Clocktower as such is not designed to allow everyone to keep extensive notes on every event in the game - if you compare the online app with how the game is played in real life, you will notice that tracking game information is already much easier online. Adding further options to allow full note-taking is most likely going to be detrimental to the game balance, so this will not be implemented.
