I think that jailors will recieve a lot more hate with the removal of their death note

With the latest patch removing all death notes from town roles I felt the jailor was the least deserving of it. While it is true that players can out themselves in their death notes and I wholly agree with removing it from veteran and vigilante I do not agree with removing it from jailor.

The reason being is that jailor is a risky role to reveal yourself, if you reveal yourself in your death note, you become number 1 priority for evils to kill. Jailor death notes are usually used to explain to the town why you executed a target (or didn't, in the case you got witched and was particularly unlucky). Without the death note, it's much more difficult for the jailor to explain an execution, and depending on the circumstances the town might believe you are gamethrowing if a townie who had a poor defense in jail got executed.

Yeah I don't think it's necessary to take away the jailor's deathnote. If anyone does try to claim jailor, the real jailor will take care of it and that's it. Even so, a jailor can just prove they are jailor by showing their will. The deathnote was just nice to say they weren't talking or for whatever reason they decided to exe.

Haven't BMG actually been notorious for NOT listening to the community in the past? Even typos were going unfixed for months.

Its why I keep thinking they're shills, but then they have a history so its just a user who really likes them.

i think it's more that they see a dev in the flesh, so they just want to suck up to them a little bit even though by all accounts bmg are horrendous at their jobs

Actually, Valve is pretty good at listening to the DotA2 community. Not sure about other games.

Jill said that he reads the reddit, SPUF, and some community sites.

They just don't reply or talk to us all that often. But they do listen in on what we have to say, normally.

They don't listen to crap about TF2.

We are talking about the same people who said about or a little more than a year ago that they will allow everyone to be able to see all the roles´role cards and they didn´t do it until now.

Or the same people who get bug reports of several witch interactions being buggy but instead fix harmless bugs like Amne being able to remember cleaned roles.

Well, sorry dudes, I'm mainly a tf2 player, and valve gives tf2 about as much love as a week old trash can of fish. I'm not used to any sort of interaction

Why the fuck did you guys remove TK deathnotes?

Easy confirm.

Jailor should be an exception though

Instead of a Death Note, it can be a report. If you are worried about them confirming themselves limit the words they can use.

Agreed, today I got shit on for executing a vigilante and I couldn't explain that it was because he didn't say a single word

Eh, I just outted myself immediately when I started getting shit on. At that point I'm a glorified escort.

I just played a game where the jailor died N2 and was rezzed N3. I was medium and confirmed my role to him. D4 someone wants to lynch me like crazy. Jailor jails him. All he says is that I the confirmed medium is mafia. He won't give a will or claim a role. So jailor executes him and the town loses their mind on him.

What was he?

Spy perhaps, it makes the most sense.

He was jailed n4 and his will had 4 invest results in it. So he even had a fake will.

Actually,the devs are talking about adding the death note back to the jailor or making a unique one.
