You do realize that I'm a pretty valued role-reviewer around here, right? Hawaiian would shred this role to the ground in mere seconds if he bothered to even look at it. And what am I? A potato?

Anyway, since the role maker wants a staff member's review... here I am.

Role idea maker discretion is advised at the criticism.

I can see 2 sides to this role, one good and the other bad.

Good: This role actually adds a threat to townies who constantly put stuff in their wills. It can raise their level of awareness towards what they write and they'll start being more careful with it. The threat this role can pose is a nice tough.

Bad: While viewing wills is nice and all... having access to their death note is just a straight up giveaway that they're a killing role. Plus the mentality of most people here who tend to just casually write their names, info, etc.... This role can easily be countered. People don't necessarily have to put in their roles anymore because if a Janitor or Forger messes with it, doesn't make a difference... and Disguiser has been reworked so it's not that useful to him either.

Sure, you can see visits recorded, but that still doesn't always give you what their role is, and it can all get worse if they get witched, roleblocked or transported and they won't even mention it because they can just say it outloud to the Town, making your ability to see them useless since the role announces it anyway. As a result, this role can turn out to be an irritating annoyance to the Town more than an actual contributor. It honestly wouldn't make that much difference.

There's my review, m8.
