!whisper

We oughta like try to gather up all the whispers after the game ends, it's really turning into an interesting mechanic.

How aboit limiting it to one whisper per day?
Then it would maybe be tolerable.
I also thought one whisper per day would work.
It forces people to use it in more tactfully, and keeps the entire game from being played in the shadows.
The entirety of Town of Salem is played like this.
I don't really understand. On one hand, people complain that the game ends up becoming follow-the-cop way too often. The whisper system solves that by allowing you (the non-cop) to do your own sleuthing around, but for some reason you find it irksome, or annoying. Why?

add blackmailer maybe
its a ToS mafia role that can see all whispers of all players
That is gonna 100% make it way harder for me

Do quicktopics for whipsers. Links are sent to the recipient and to you, and then you forward them to the blackmailer.

That's not how it would work anyway. You didn't create the PM threads this game. The players would the quicktopics, then send a link to you and the person they're whispering to. Then you give that link to the blackmailer. Also makes it way easier to publicize the whispers after the end of the game, or publicize them in the dead/spectator chat cause all you have to do is post the links.

idk I for one loved it
sure it looks boring from a spectator's perspective
but it opens up new ways to solve the game
just look at all the fake claims that were happening in whispers
if the feature wasn't so good, y'all wouldn't be using it so much

Yes.
well, maybe to nerf the blackmailer and make it a bit simpler for yourself, you could group all of the whispers that have been sent during the day and PM the blackmailer once the night starts
here's another idea:
since we're doing a closed setup, you can add blackmailer to the role list without actually giving it to any of the players
keeps people on their toes without making it much harder for you

Another option would be this, the blackmailer just getting a digest of all whispers that happened that day. A potential twist to prevent it from being too powerful would be that the blackmailer doesn't get to know who was whispering to who, they just get the content of the whispers in their digest. As long as you have PM emails turned on, it wouldn't be too hard to collect all whispers of the day in chronological order.
