TheRealRC wrote: Town roles with Basic defense can always be proven. Lookouts or Trackers can see them visit someone and then whisper it to confirmed Townies the next day. There is no punishment for killing a Townie because that is a Vigilante rehash. I think this warrants a Parallax quote:

'Anyone who thinks rehashes are instantly bad are what we call 'retarded'.'

Maybe that was a little extreme, but that statement gives, quite literally, nothing helpful. If you can't explain why the Pirate is bad (and therefore a rehash wouldn't be good), then you don't have a point. Rehashes of good roles can be balanced. Originality might be a good trait for a role to have, but it is a very small argument when we talk about balance.
