Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-34855529-20180720235555/@comment-35836120-20180721010554

it's unlikely other player would even care about that, unless they can't find any evils to be suspicious about, also when is the message supposed to appear in the town during the day, at the start? If it was on the start of the day, then town will most likely not care if they see it not necessary to talk about the role in the article, TI's who found a player suspicious will most likely get the better attention, so the whole article thing in the day will probably get overshadowed by a TI having better results on who to lynch, however I could see this role good when town forgets about a role that was in-game, or could be in-game, but It could create confusion to town, with the TI sharing info, Mafia/Neutral/Coven creating chaos, and deceiving town, with the addition of another confirmable TS is not necessary for town, for me It lacks a more defined purpose, and It's easily confirmable, you just say town "I'm Papertown, and to prove it I will write an article about Blackmailer." If you've noticed the role can confirm itself easily, but anothe thing is it doesn't quite help the town, when It confirms itself, It's more like "Hey guys, I have an article about Jester, maybe he's still alive, and maybe he's Player 12."

I have a suggestion, how about you can make an article about a role at night, and gives you the opportunity to write your opinion, about this role, and who could it be. In general the Paperboy could pick a role to be the topic, and write some stuff about it, whether it's useful, or not, so that the Town could have a role that acts more like a second opinion of the town, a Secretary perhaps.

But overall currently I'm still Neutral with this, It's an interesting concept however, and could potentially be better.
