The Town Power alignment is a Town alignment that would include the Mayor, Retributionist, Jailor, and Psychic. These roles are admittedly the most powerful Town roles, and can easily confirm themselves. They can also lead the Town to victory in many different ways, becoming a large problem for Mafia, Coven, and other evil roles.

The idea with this is that it would replace the Jailor in Ranked and RP, as well as lessen the possibility of another Town Power role (coming from TI, TK, and TS), AND allow more claimspace.

So what the heck is wrong with it? I personally think it would be a great idea.

It nerfs the Town so it can't have so many overwhelmingly powerful roles in one game. In Ranked and RP, Town has a large chance of getting a second, third, or even fourth would-be Town Power role from Random Town alone. We don't even talk about Town Support (Mayor/Retributionist) and Town Investigative (Psychic).

With the Town Power alignment in Ranked/RP, you get rid of an automatic Jailor and replace it with a possibility of three/four different roles (Coven or non-Coven). You have the same chance with Random Town, but it gets rid of the chance completely from TK, TS, and TI.

As for claimspace, this is a minor help as all of these roles are unique, but it still adds uncertainty as to what another role really is in the game.

This is open for discussion.
