Board Thread:Role Ideas (Neutral)/@comment-38165883-20190817212249/@comment-28092296-20190819005227

It's nice to see a role oriented around the chat system—those kinds of roles aren't suggested much.

My main concern is the Mouth ability, although I do find that the other two are concerning abilities as well. The Mouth ability seems to be a repeat Blackmailer—players can't talk in both abilities. It seems quite repetitive, so I would suggest you remove it.

The Ears ability is the coolest and most creative one to me. Whispering isn't something significant enough so then in the average game a player will be constantly reminded that so-and-so is whispering, but it does have an effect where it could swing a player's thinking process on who's evil if whispering became a major point of suspicion for a player in the game. This is an okay ability, as I also think that the Ear is underpowered, especially compared to the other two

The Eyes ability seems to be the one that I don't like the most. People could always write their names in the message that they're saying (so it would look like this: Jonathan Corwin: "14 is not suspicious—Jonathan Corwin here") to bypass the system, and since only one person is affected by the eyes ability, if somebody else tried to pose as another player (Ex: Giles Corey: "Actually, 14 is suspicious—Jonathan Corwin here"), the rest of the town would catch them.

I do not understand why this role messes around with the voting system. Already, altering what is received/said in chat is a cool ability and you don't need the voting ability to go with it. It's too much for one role, really.
