The creator of Town of Salem is currently seeking feedback in the official forums!

Below this line is quoting Achilles' post:

"With patch 1.5.9 on the verge of going live (just squashing the last few bugs) I want to talk about a new system we are designing for patch 1.6.0+. This system is still at the design level so this is your chance to provide feedback!

Taunt/Emote System The taunt/emote system will allow players to anonymously interact with each other in-game by creating visual objects in the town.

Examples: -Player 1 taunts Player 7 by dropping a tombstone that says "RIP" at his feet. Player 7 does not know who taunted him.

-Player 2 taunts Player 10 at night by summoning an eerie figure who starts digging a grave in front of Player 10's house.

-Player 5 taunts Player 11 by summoning a dog that walks up and pees on your character/dead body/house.

Important Notes:


 * The taunt/emote system can be used at night (as well as day)
 * The taunt/emote system can be used to trick players into performing actions they may not normally do (if you use a scary taunt at night that player may use a self heal, their last bullet proof vest or go on alert!)
 * There will be a global cooldown on taunts/emotes against the same player to prevent multiple players from spamming the same person
 * There will be a cooldown on each players ability to taunt/emote to prevent spam

Feedback A system like this is only as cool as the ideas for taunts/emotes, so please let us know what kinds of taunts you would like to see in the first patch!"
