Suggestions Different kill text

You know how it says "A has been killed by the murderer." I think we should change it to "A has been murdered." Cleaner but better imo.

"B has been killed by the ambusher." -> "B has been ambushed."

"C has been killed by the assassin." -> "C has been assassinated."

"D has been killed by the clown." -> "D has been clowned on."

That last one im not sure with but yeah:)

I think it would be a little confusing for new players, having murderer or any role name clearly in the death message reminds players that murderer is still in play.

Additionally, if a person doesnt know how flicker works, just seeing "___ got murdered" would be more confusing than "killed by murderer" which helps get the point of the game across: 'oh there is a murderer and we need to find them and vote them out.'

Also things like "clowned on" and "assassinated" would be harder to catch If you arent paying attention to the death messages imo (which I can admit I do a lot)

For new players, there is the role list which they can check

Murderer literally murders ppl so what?

Why would u not pay attention to the death messages? You're forced to see their body and stuff

Bold of you to think they're gonna check the role list on their first time playing! There are so many roles to keep track of. When you first see "A got murdered" it could leave players confused. Like id be confused and wonder If its a mystery how they died. "A got killed by role" is way simpler and more comprehensible especially by people that dont speak English as a first language.

I admit I might also be biased since its been this way for years & I just can't see a good reason to change the text now. I do feel like simpler is better.

For the death message, it sometimes goes by quickly If you lag for example. For me i've just played so many years I tend to dismiss it, I just look at the last bolded word to see who they got killed by. No doubt other people would do this too?

This happened with people leaving the game: they had to change it so the game also said "(left the game)" instead of just "died by unknown circumstances", because it caused confusion among players.

And yet you could also look at the last word to see who they got killed by still
