Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-33303864-20171018034514/@comment-33303864-20171018205337

"Messes with the Trial System. The engineer can have 3 bodies controlled spamming through one or them all, and then he may get reported, but still."

no, once the engineer chooses to stop assimilating someone that person will appear dead the next day (he can only control one body at one time) and if he makes the controlled person spam he will be the one reported not the person he assimilated. Also how does it mess up the trial system? one person who is dead is unable to vote (which of course they cant, no dead people are able to vote) and the engineer can vote for anyone except their target, which gives the town a little help in finding the engineer.

"This role can't do anything with the bodies other than have them show as alive. So the Town can potentially waste a lynch, but still. It's a big Necromancer rehash."

I dont have coven so im not really experienced with the necromancer, but from what I can tell the necromancer only forces dead bodies to do their ability for him. The necromancer does not seemingly keep their target alive and cannot control their targets speech. Also the engineer can do something with the bodies he assimilates, he can make them claim certain people are mafia and temporarily distract town members from the mafia.

"The role is pointless if the Mafia fail to kill one night. Being able to accurately guess when Neutral Killing will attack roles is hard as heck, and if the Mafia fail, welp, waste of a night for you."

Yeah, the janitor and forger also fail if the mafia fail to kill their target, I guess you could call those roles also pointless on some nights. It definitely doesnt need to depend on NK roles to do its work, it just has to see if mafia will kill someone with no defense.

"From what this seems, it makes Mediums even more pointless. They don't appear dead even if they are, and you haven't said if Mediums can still talk to those being controlled."

Heres a quote from my role idea " <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#3a3a3a;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">the enginners target is dead, they can still speak in the dead chat and speak to the medium <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#3a3a3a;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">" so yes, they can speak to mediums.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#3a3a3a;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">"That invest result is death to all Mediums everywhere. Once someone finds out this role exists, all claims are dead. Including the Engineer if he gets caught."

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#3a3a3a;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The investigation results for this role are : Medium, Janitor, Retributionist, Trapper, or Engineer, this list is 3/5ths town and 2 of which are non-unique, the engineer is not stuck with pretending to be a medium and thusly mediums arent the main targets for suspicion.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> "Controlling three people at once for say, HOW does it actually work? How do you speak for others? To me, this uses a lot of code."

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">'''There would be one normal chat box, and in the area between that chat box and the role list there would be a text entry box (the tan box below the chat box where you enter what you want to put in the chat box) thats it. Also you can only control one body at one time.'''

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">You say its confusing, but all you do is control what a person says, that person being dead.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Also thanks Garabic, you cool.
