I've never been on the receiving end of this rule yet, but I've witnessed someone get told to do so within 10 seconds of a round beginning with a portable tester. It's an absolute dick move to pull within the frames of the rule. Not only is it impossibly unfair, but completely ruins the mystery aspect of TTT.
Considering the portable tester is entirely unfair in certain situations and losing a single credit isn't much of a punishment-reward factor, I'd suggest considering to raise the tester credit cost. To what? No idea. I like the idea behind the portable tester when the rounds advance to a position of not being certain anyone is telling the truth. With a raised credit cost, detectives are left with either enhancing themselves and the risk of dying, or using a larger amount of credits to positively influence the game.
As for a map tester, I think it's a good idea to consider the persons position to vicinity of the tester. It's unfair for a player to be dragged to the tester for simply coming into contact with paranoid detective that's forcing every player within a 10 foot radius to test.
Suggestions:
- A player must be within reasonable vicinity of the tester to be forced to test.
- Rather than test or kos, make it test or suspicion.
- Test or kos does not apply until a certain period of the round beginning.
- Raise portable tester costs to be a high-risk/high-reward item, possibly adding an extra charge to make up for it now costing more.
- You must have a valid reason to test or kos.
In it's totality, I've seen this rule applied to players who are generally better than most, and while I get the idea of taking out the best person first, it's not fair and sucks the fun out of the game.
