Board Thread:Role Ideas (Neutral)/@comment-28205575-20170127023231/@comment-30088034-20170128144109

There are many reasons why roleswappers are bad:

1. How would neutral evil work? so you swap a town with a town. So what? It's kinda useless you know??? They would just say "I got swapped, now I am this role" increasing the chances of them being confirmed AND revealing your identity. If you swap a town with an evil, it's kind of a different story, but the odds of the happening are low!

2. This causes way too much chaos. As Crissy said this game is not about just chaos. This is just stupid and can ruin people's wills, simple as that! And plus, it's not GOOD chaos, the chaos might INCREASE town's chances of winning (read point 1!)

3. Even though it's useless, it can screw a faction's chance of winning. Exhibit A: There arethree people left. You swap the gf with a med, roleblocking both. And you don't hang anyone. So you basically get to swap and choose who wins, or force a tie. (although this rarely happens before night 5, but imagine it in custom games! and plus, this could still happen, but to a lesser degree)

4. This would also cause false reports. the "confirmed townie" who got swapped with an evil role, now hangs townies. Ignorant people could report them without listening, wasting the trial system's time!
