WM Idea

[ThomasRubycrust]

    had an idea: packless WM that is notified when it is selected as a target/has a non-kill power used on it, and if it's targeted/has a power used on it by a pack member is given that wolf's identity. needs work.

I thought about it more and at this point I think it probably makes more sense to name new packless lycanless werewolves in the same way as Warlock and Tanner instead of starting a new naming convention. I think the original suggestions for that were Husk and Sorcerer

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: finally i prevail. and yeah those were the two original suggestions, I'll try think of a couple more

[McTsts]

I think Sorcerer is once again not very fitting for this role because it's fairly passive.

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: Do you want to develop this idea in time for the next version?

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: i do

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: Post is about to close again

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: Requires a PR this week or will be postponed

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts:

i do

to get it done in time for icons it needs to get a description/pr/vote soon

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: cool

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: i will do a name soon

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: i think that's the last step apart from mechanic formalisation

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: right it doesnt have a name yet

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: Shaman?

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: I think names like that don't really fit its passive power

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: yeah that's fair

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: it's a hard one to name

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: Recluse?

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: I dont think that implies wolf team. Maybe Reclusive Wolf?

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: no, because we're following the warlock/tanner convention, and those don't have wolfy appendations

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: it can just not follow that one and be a lycan

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: also i think it probably needs a disguise selection to buff it a lil

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: it not being a lycan was the entire point of the role

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: I thought that was the packless WM part

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: yeah, i wanted it to be a non-lycan packless WM

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: if it can't go stealth against invests there is very little point to the role

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: It's difficult to fittingly name a role without an active power in a way that implies that its evil

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: tbf, Tanner doesn't really imply much evil

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: it doesn't

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: i do think Recluse is decent the more i think about it.

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: actually it does work

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: because its just some person

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: that likes being alone so uh I guess it supports the wolves who eat people

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: easier to be reclusive when the wolves eat everyone

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: yes

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: and they're too stinky for the wolves to eat

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: ah yes and thats the explanation for detecting abilities used on them

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: they stink so much everyone that tries to get close to them almost pukes making a sound

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: yes

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: aight whos gonna write a desc for this

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: and by "who" i mean you, ts

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: i mean i can do it if you really don't wanna, i'm just super busy

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: i mean it is your suggestion

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: unfortunately i am also really busy

Ts: Recluse | Werewolf Miscellaneous Basics The Recluse is immediately notified of all powers used on them. When a werewolf uses a power on them, they are given that werewolf's identity. Details The Recluse is told which role targeted them and what power was used on them, but not the identity of the player that used a power on them. An exception are members of the wolfpack/werewolf team - when they use a power on the Recluse, the Recluse is told the identity of that player as well. The Recluse is not a lycan and is not part of the wolfpack.

Simplified The Recluse and the wolfpack do not know each other. The Recluse is immediately notified of all powers used on them. When a werewolf uses a power on them, they are given that werewolf's identity.

Captain Luffy:

When a werewolf uses a power on them, they are given that werewolf's identity. it sounds like they know the players identity not the role

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: that's exactly what it is

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: sounds great

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: <@&584767449078169601> <@&590877989345165312>

if you agree that recluse is a great role and we should add it if you want me to shoot you

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: bad idea

[CrowdfordBot]

Ts: oh its a different no
