Werewolves: The Village - Game Variation

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds:
There's 10 occupations (Names very much pending so let's take them directly from the DLC, translated from Dutch to English):

• The Farmers: Continuous
  Building: Farm
  This occupation immediately changes the game to not have a Public Mayor vote. Instead, the Farmers will always divide Mayor along themselves through a Day 1 vote. When the Mayor dies, only a Farmer can take over its role, they'll just have a vote again. The other elections can just be Public. When the last Farmer dies, the role of Mayor is forever lost. If a game starts without Farmers, the Mayor role will instead be a public vote again for the rest of the game, as per the normal WWR rules.
  Farmers can not lose their house.

• The Confession Father: One time
  Building: Church
  Once per game, the Confession Father may investigate a player's role during the game. They are not allowed to tell anyone about this, however. This of course doesn't work too well with WWR, so we'll need to implement a way for the Confession Father to not just immediately type out that who they investigated was scum. This investigation is also publically made, it's announced who the Confession Father investigated but not what their role is.
  When the Confession Father investigates a player, they will lose their occupation.

• The Conman: One time
  Building: Hut
  Once per game, the Conman may return a player's occupation if they were to have lost it. The occupation that this player has, depends on the house they have. This means they can not replenish the occupation of a Homeless player.
  When the Conman uses its ability, they will lose their occupation.

• The School Teacher: Continuous
  Building: School
  The School Teacher may completely forbid 2 players from voting every day. The School Teacher herself will never vote. This might not work well in WWR, so some sort of different vote manipulation might be more fitting. Additionally, the School Teacher may forbid the Barkeep from voting. The School Teacher can never forbid Homeless players from voting.

• The Baker: Continuous
  Building: Bakery
  So this role allows for the baker to peek when the wolves are just about to sleep, probably catching a wolf. This does not work in WWR so I suggest we either leave it out or add some sort of day ability we might be missing. This would work better as a one time use role in that case.

venomousbirds:

• The Barber: One time
  Building: Barbershop
  This is just the Barber we already have, but with more rules. It can kill a player during the day. However, if this player turns out to be townsfolk (no matter the barber's actual role's alignment), the barber will die. This will be announced. If the barber kills a member of the wolf team, it will also be announced.
  The barber loses its occupation after it has killed a player.

• The Field Hunter: One time
  Building: Police Station
  One the first full day after one or more houses have been emptied, the Field Hunter has to use their ability to assign the empty houses to Homeless players instead. The players that previously lived there will get the house and the occupation belonging to it, no matter if the ability might have already been used. The Field Hunter loses its ability after this.
  Maybe a way for Field Hunter to regain abilities so the house switch isn't a one-time thing would be good, i.e. the Field Hunter switching with another Homeless player the moment it uses its ability? Something to think about.
  Which homeless person gets put into which house is fully up to the Field Hunter.

• The Barkeep: Continuous, sort of
  Building: Tavern
  The barkeep is like a weird alcoholic. Werewolves can not kill the barkeep and the barkeep can not be lynched. The barkeep has to vote every day. If they're among the voters to the player that gets lynched (no matter if the player that got lynched actually died, i.e. exe, rk, idiot etc), the barkeep loses its immunity and loses its occupation. The barkeep has to announce who they're voting for at the start of the day and can not change its vote. That might be a bit harsh but otherwise the barkeep can just vote someone random every day and not lose its immunity.

• The Lord of the Castle: One time
  Building: Castle
  Once per game, the Lord of the Castle may save a player from being lynched. It will lose its occupation afterwards. The Lord of the Castle may save himself.

• The Homeless: Continuous
  Building: None
  While being homeless, players can not be targeted by the School Teacher or the Barber. The homeless player may deny the offer from the Field Hunter to occupy a house. When the homeless player accepts the offer from the Field Hunter, they regain that house's occupation.

mctsts:
I kind of don't really get the point

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds:
It's a layer of public roles on top of the normal roles, to add complexity to the game

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds:
Maybe it translates bad into WWR but it's called a suggestion for a reason

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds:
Could be a really interesting Offseason idea

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:
I'm no saying it's bad

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:
I just never understood how it impacts the game

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:
Okay well I think some are compelling

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:
Barber for example

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:
It works great for putting pressure on the person even if they're a wolf

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds:
The public occupations incentivises more public talking, public discussions, thought-out lynches and another level of strategy

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:

Barber for example

And then lord is the opposite. I really don't get it

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds:
it affects the game on a more global level, ig, everyone has something and is involved in some way

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:
Yes actually I can image it really pushes public discussion

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:
Though I think many of thr locations they have don't seem very compelling for wwr, so I think some thought would be needed
