I don't think the Ghost role would be too bad if it lost the ability to pm, actually.  The problem with the version that came before was that everyone could pm their roles to the ghost and the ghost could organize everything.

... really? Why could the Ghost be PMed? That actually sounds like a problem with having private communication than just a Ghost.

I think a 'Spirit Mentor' would work. They choose one person to attach to and that's the only person they can talk with (in either direction, use a QuickTopic). Once the person they attached to is dead, the Spirit Mentor is done as well.

It's not that great of an ability, really. It doesn't help out in game mechanics. Only in that you are able to commune with a player that may or may not be Town.

Doesn't even have to be powerful. Sometimes you just don't get the good things, and that's fine, 'cause it's better than just being vanilla town.

Completely true, but it does give players something to do after dying. It's not perfect, but it is something.

Right, but if you've got a choice of 6 other classes that are not vanilla, why would you want one that is except for dead commune?

I myself would like deadchat in my games, but I have problems with things like revivals and fake deaths and... lots of things, really.

Ya well if the roles are random then of course you don't get a choice. If you get to pick the roles then of course you're right.

Ya that kinda doesn't help. Next day just repeats the lynch or the NK.

You've never read a BYOR, have you? Read 4 for a nice read.

Reading the current one and skimmed the previous one.

They are amusing, but don't read to much into strategy from them. Things tend to devolve into role-related madness pretty quickly. Particularly in the larger ones.

I can cope with madness. I mean how else could I live with myself >: D

1 had a good set where there were a couple cool ideas.
2 is where I decided to throw in some extra things.
3 is where I decided to make things play off of each other and screw over some players.
4 is where I decided things were better with more abilities.
5 is where I decided that things could be extra fun. It also broke.
5.5 is where I decided to put together a bunch of overpowered roles and see how it worked.

Which game was the "Kill webaddict" one? >:3

[JanusTwoface]

There was a Kill Webadict Now mafia, but that wasn't a BYOR.  Amusing reading though.

KWN and KWN: Dakarian Edition

I have a version ready to play, but I am going to not run it until I start hating BYORs again.

I was going to win, too!
