Yôko isn't a foreigner though. And we already have two town tricksters, not sure if we need a third one. (So far we have most roles in doubles - 2 tricksters, 2 healers, 2 protectors, 2 meitanteis...)

I don't think travel is a good fit for Yôko. Nor am I sure if "tricking/neutralizing" makes sense for her as well.

Something I need clarification on:

- Is Kir befriendable? If so, does Sonoko get a betrayal result as well? Would it be the same result or different?
- Is Kir disguisable? KID would be ok, but Vermouth/Irish would not be getting betrayal results from their own side right?

for yoko: Eh, she's basically just a better discombobulator, so, not a fan.

Kir: You can disguise as Kir, no reason for the person disguised to not get betrayal results (even if they'd be redundant)

For sonoko, considering that she gets to use all the other person's abilities separately, I'd say you get different betrayal results.

I think Protectors / Healers should be able to Observe as well.

What about flirt for Yoko? She gets to know ONE action of the person she flirted with. The target will be notified of that as well. Basically like Kir, but more specific. And it can be anyone, not just BO. She can flirt with everyone including DBs.

protectors: I don't really think they need anything extra, tbh.

Yoko: while it sounds interesting, it may be a bit too powerful, as she could find Gin/pisco/tequila and the other BOs fairly decently, and if vermy disguised as Yoko that'd just be distastrous.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

Huh.

Well, I was going off Abs.'s round, which was screwy in general, so that may be the source of my confusion.

My bad. She gets to know ONE action her target did during the phase she sent in her action. NOT IN GENERAL. Sorry. And it can be discombobulated.

Also, she can only use it ONCE per target. Cannot do it again on the same person.

I guess you can make it a Night action only usable every 2 phases (so she uses it Night 1, can't use again until Night 3, etc.)

Which means she need another action as she'll be useless for 3 phases in a row often?

And maybe make her undisguisable? Reason: Vermy can't sing? xD Who knows.

how's the action chosen, though? Becuase otherwise, she could randomly get "Akonyl slanders Miiko" or something, which would instantly implicate me as BO :V

and if you're gonna give her another ability anyway because she can only flirt every other phase, why not just give her other abilities in the first place :P

Hm. Alright, lemme think. How about this...
Spoiler:
Talk Show Hosting: Choose one person to host a talk show with. That person will get one of his/her results from any random phase sent to Yoko. Will be notified of talk show. Cannot use again on same person. Day action.

If you go for talk-show hosting: I though about a ability, with which you can "announce results". If we use it for yoko maybe:
Yoko can use the ability on a person. That Person then get's a PM that yoko invited him/her to the talkshow. He/she can then tell the GM 1 info he/she wants to give out to the public. That info can be fake or not. But just one info.

So if it's okiya for example: "Gin is in the game" can be one info.
If it's deduction list: I dunno, I wouldn't let him/her let the whole deduction list out. Maybe 1-2 suspect from 1 deduction list on for which victim it was.
Police could also tell that they arrested Abs for killing PT. Or that they tried to arrest miiko for killing someone but failed. etc.

This way, just yoko would know who it was from.
The BO can also do fake stuff. Or just say who's suspicious etc. Or who was interrogated as not BO.

(I actually planned this as a PO in my fuuuuutuuuure round :P)


For a possible flirting ability: You'll know if that person is male or female. Not sure how good it would be. Would be pretty strong in the hands of the BO tho :V
Or flirting tells you, if that player is a lover or not. Could end up bad for lover pairs tho :x
