Jealous

Unimplemented

This design document is currently completely unimplemented in Ephemeral Space.

You should not expect to find anything listed here in-game just yet.

Tracking issue:

Description: Take out your jealous fury on those you might normally be aligned with.

Objectives: Prevent anyone else with the same mask as you from completing their objectives.

Masquerade/mask notes: Can be on pretty much any mask that actually has objectives where it would be reasonably interesting to play out (i.e. where the masks would normally have little reason to ever be antagonistic towards eachother on principle). Shouldn't be able to roll unless at least one other player has the same mask, obviously.

God, how I do despise that Captain! What--you've sworn vengeance on the Head of Personnel for running over your dog? Well.. well.. I hate YOU!!!

Concept

A Jealous character seeks to prevent anyone with the same mask as them from completing their objectives. If their mask is changed during the round, the objective will still be targeted towards their original mask.

Gameplay

The main goal of the Jealous modifier is simple: create antagonistic relationships and emotional betrayals between masks which would otherwise have no reason not to work together--and thus sow the ambiguous-seeds of doubt in everyone's mind when they work with a likeminded individual. It's much more interesting when, even if you know someone's mask beyond a reasonable doubt, you can never be quite sure of their ulterior motives, and whether they may secretly seek to put you down.

It's also just fun to try and passively figure out who the other player(s) with that mask might be--and even more fun, in the same vein as Hater, to try and thwart their plans. A jealous Arms Dealer may seek to monopolize the market, or a jealous Vigilante may seek to lower tensions and keep murders from being discovered by others before they can deal with the killer themselves.

Being Jealous gives the player the information that at least one other person with their mask exists, which can be decently valuable for deductions.
