Hey, cool role. Should the thief see all "no team" roles? He can identify the Amnesiac by his outline on our server and all other "No Team" roles are highlighted like the Clairvoyant.

Thanks for the feedback Max Quordlepleen! Its been a while but I've just looked at the code and I haven't written anything special for handling jester wins. I would agree with the idea that killing the Jester to win would be too easy, so I might add some more info to this role's description about that.

This is one of my favorite roles I've seen in a long time. We've made thief rounds rare but when they happen everyone gangs up on the thief and it's delightful :)
I do have one thing to report, though, which is that we've had occurrences where the thief would kill the jester but the jester would still get this win. Is this intended? Logically I would expect the thief to steal that win. Or maybe that would make thief too easy since the jester can't fight back?

Hello.
I was wondering how players should be alerted when there's a Thief in the game.
Because I can't see any message of any kind.
ttt2_thief_announce is set on 1.
Any idea ?

hello, yesterday we played with this role a lot.
It turned out, that the thieve is usally camps in some corner, as mentioned here.
The thieve waits until the other teams kill each other.
Maybe it is possible to add something like a timer where he has to have someone in his crosshair. Like a contact timer or something like that. So he is forced to look for other players and can't hide for a long period.

Revealing the location of the Thief would be good, because the Thief could hide to try to naturally allow another team to win. If the other players decide to prioritize finding the Thief before doing anything else, then the Thief could hide to protect himself and try to get one kill at a time, and now the game just becomes a goose hunt.

Or maybe Detectives can be given/can buy a portable thief tester from the shop that can test if a player is the thief or not. And the portable tester gun would have some kind of cooldown (i.e. 30 seconds). Then the Detective can narrow down who is the Thief and make sure to kill them.

I kinda like the idea of globally revealing the Thief's location. However, the Thief does not want to hide the whole round, because if the timer runs out, the game ends in a tie. No one wants this to occur, so the thief would not want to hide as much as other roles would. There is also a convar to make the Thief's role public, if there are concerns of not identifying who the Thief is.

If you've played a few rounds with the Thief and they win too often, please let me know.

I love the idea of this but i got one main concern about this role's design. Couldn't the Thief just sit in a corner or wandering the map doing nothing the whole round? Even if everyone is alerted that there is a Thief, there' no way to 100% identify someone as a Thief. They could very easily simply do nothing and get an easy win without much counterplay, especially for innocent roles.

I think a potential solution to this problem would be to reveal their identically globally if they go too long without preforming an action. Perhaps this could be something simple like actively damaging/killing other players, or something more unique/role specific, like having to steal items from another player(goes with the Thief theme), which puts them at risk of being discovered.
