Alignment: Town (Support)

Game Information/Background: You tell tall tales to manipulate targets.

Attack: None

Defense: None

Unique Role: No?

Priority: 5?

Abilities: Can use "stories" to affect the target.

1. A "reverse blackmail" where the target can't hear the chat for the day but can still talk. They won't even see who's voting for who, and while the game won't inform you that you're under this affect, it'll be obvious when nobody talks. Your messages will be the only ones to show in your chat.

This is literally just negative utility, it is only usefull for evil roles, as this is just meant to hide what others are saying from them, and thus make it unfair for anyone defending themselves, even if they are evil, they can just state that no one is typing anything in chat and thus people would assume they have been reverse Bmailed, and give them a chance later.

2. Anonomous night message

'''​This is pretty pointless, as only evils will need anonymous messages at night, because well, with this mechanic they can actually threaten people without giving themselves away, and opening up many new strategies. But as a townie, it barely holds any purpose'''

3. Randomly change their target (you can't control who they go to)

This makes this role RNG based, and according to role creating forum, is a strict no no

Attributes: Cannot use the same story twice in a row and can only tell each person one story.

This role honestly just works better as an evil role rather than a town role, all its features makes it an evil role, and the RNG part also simply doesn't work, so honestly the anonymous messanging aspect of this role actually makes this a pretty good mafia role if you can replace the other things and remove the Can only use 1 story per person
