The Problematic Series of roles is the 30+ roles I promised for September in an attempt to get people to create more roles.

'''These roles, as said, are roles with problems that I cannot put my finger on. A sense of “Would this even be useful?” '''So all of these are semi rejects that you want us to fix?

They are posted in the order of Town, Mafia, and Coven.

At night, choose someone to pressure up to 5 times.

There will be a slider from 5-30. A slider?

Every [interval you set on the bar], a notification will go in chat announcing that he did not speak. What’s the slider for then?

If he speaks within this time interval, the notification will not go off.

here's the... slider? Okay..

By sliding the little arrow to the time you want, you can choose that interval. Oh okay

During the day, the target must speak during every of [x] interval. '''How.. would that work...'''

If they don't, there will be a system message everyone is able to see.

There will be an option to reduce these messages to a smaller size.

"You decided to pressure [x] during the day."

"[x] faltered under pressure!"

Precise - 

Your target is argumentative. They must be the Politician!

-Achievements-

Corruption - Be jailed and executed, even after using all of your pressure charges.

Problem: Does this even have a practical application in higher ranks? May cause spam in chat. Yeah, It works and all but, as you said, it’s not really useful in any way. Especially if the only punishment if they don’t speak is that everyone is notified, because it doesn’t add anything, everyone already knows when they did and didn’t speak. My only advice would be to change the punishment, because right now, it’s just as useful as a role that checks someone every night to see what their name is. It doesn’t give any information or do anything. And the concept of pressure someone to speak is useless anyway. Overall: Scrap.
