question: why would we trust a guy who we KNOW is going to betray us?

Nope, once he does his betrayal ability thing he loses his abilities and flees the game. Basically his win condition is to live long enough to befriend the dungeon master, not get killed by the heroes in the process of joining the dungeon master, and finally doing something to stop the dungeon master whether it be small or big.

You may know, but who's to say your character knows..... If your character's personality is outgoing and always friendly to everybody then why would he/she turn down a man who knows how to fight? We ain't talking about you yourself we are talking about your character and what would he/she do in such a situation.

Guys....You make me less want to be a traitor. Maybe I'll be a hero...since my character also wants to fight in the epic last battle.

Don't feel that way GamerXD, you still get to slaughter creatures and such and you get to sabotage the enemies plans to rule/save the world. Traitors and genies are special roles in this game. Heroes and the dungeons masters are the main people here.

And once you do your traitorous move you can get off scot free and laugh at your victims suffering.

First up we don't post your eight because we don't need to, people call me KKA and you know that sounds dangerously close to something..... Anyway you can join in the last battle, but that's your traitorous strike. When you attack the dungeon master. You could use your traitorous strike for something... More useful. Traitors don't gain experience so attacking isn't exactly the smartest thing to do, that level 5 dungeon master will kill you faster then you can say "SHIT I SHOULDN'T OF DONE THIS!", you should do something more cunning in your time as a traitor. (Don't worry there will be multiple games of this, so you will have MANY chances of playing as hero)

well, i suppose. but i expect people (myself included) might struggle to stay unbiased, for the sake of their characters...

Well lets look at this, what makes a hero trust another hero. NOTHING! They don't know each other, so why would they pair up? Because that little voice in their head says TRUUUST HIIIIM, no they work together to the point where they feel comfortable with each other or sometimes they can even tell each other their goals. Same thing applies with traitors and genies, they gotta work their way to gain the trust of their enemy. Genies however all they need to do is get somebody to say I wish or any question or thing involving the letter I (Example: A genie character is walking towards an Inn and is stopped by a guard, now the guard tells him "YOU CAN'T GET IN!" so the genie asks him this "What if I can get you anything, just ask what you would like most in the world." Now the genie can choose what to grant and what not to grant. So the guard says to him this "I want you to get lost." The genie doesn't grant it and still stands there, the guard then says "Look the only way your going to get in is through me, and I would love to see that happen." The genie gets a smirk on his face and then the guard becomes as thin and fragile as glass, the genie then can punch the guard and have him shatter to pieces, and then can walk in freely)

Good to know but idk if both heroes can fight each other,is it allowed?
maybe if it is a misunderstanding,confusion or just a crazyness,is it.

uhhh

okay for the sake of the game i'll play along this time, but I recommend if you make another one of these, you get people to PM you their roles or something, and don't tell people who's the traitor and similar spoilers until they reveal themselves.

This is actually one of the many things we will see, most of the times if heroes don't cooperate through speech they will fight each other. We are talking about what the character thinks not you. If one hero has a cold hearted personality in whom wants to hear the sounds of war drums and blood, how easily do you think he will be a part of your group? Some heroes won't exactly be MR BIG AND HAPPY AND OUTGOING some will be cold hearted and have a deep hatred for everybody. (Heroes automatic goal is kill the dungeon master and foil whatever plans he/she has, but who's to say they have to be a good hearted person while doing it? They can be a total prick all the way to a murderous bastard for all I care, as long as they have their sights on killing the dungeon master)

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT IDEA! We will start doing that next game. HOWEVER some certain standards I must reveal to the public, like where they currently are in the story and what they look like.

Hmm, perhaps. ALRIGHT I'M CALLING UPON A VOTE, shall we restart the game and all of the current people? OR shall we continue with what we got? This vote is for the restart of the game and PMing me on what your characters are and who they are aligned with. P'S you are not allowed to give away who you are aligned with, those caught doing so will instantly suicide in the game AND anything given away to other players by this character will disappear.
