A sniper shouldn’t be able to end the game for all his teammates in 5 seconds by shooting at random. Perhaps only the sniper who shot is out of the game, but then you have the bizarre situation of a party continuing as normal while one of the guests is dead in the middle of the ballroom. Maybe “arresting” rather than killing would make more sense in this context?

Also, maybe we can get a mission where the spy is on the ground as well & has to knife the target. or a spot in a tree on a small map, but only 1 perspective.

I also like the poisoning mission for the Spy.

And an idea I thought of, might to be overpowering to the sniper, maybe not. The sniper can have a npc under their control more or less. If he engages the spy or the spy engages him in a conversation a bar will pop up like you were completing an objective and if the spy doesn’t do it correctly he’s do a “tell” or something, and maybe the spy gets bonus points for poisoning him or poisoning him causes him to leave the party, thus rendering him useless. The sniper can select a character and then the snipers “Helper”? will go to that person and it cause the timer bar effect if that’s the spy. And a clever spy can find out who the helper is and every time he sees him talk to a npc, can go for an objective knowing the snipers looking at his helper for the tell. God there’s so much you can do with this!! Just release and update it over time, don’t starve he world of the first video game that crosses over board game thinking into the video game realm D:
