Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-37689320-20181202190629/@comment-28092296-20181202211019

Some stuff I think you're doing fine on:

You have a kewl concept for a Mafia role. The base idea of somebody joining the Mafia is an okay role idea.

Some problems I think you have:

I'd rather have a role that starts out as Mafia, even if they have a crappy ability like the Framer, at least they won't attack the faction they're supposed to win with. Either you get a town that confirms themselves and then they are neve lynched or you get a town role that tries working against the Mafia but is still a member of the Mafia. I'd rather have somebody start off with Framer or Consigliere or something and get promoted normally, that ways they won't confuse the game and attack their teammates. I think stuff like a Jailor that suddenly joins the Mafia is a broken role. This role more fits the description of Amnesiac becoming the Mafia rather than recruit to the Mafia I feel.

I don't agree with this role being Mafia Killing since it has no killing capabilities until it gets promoted like everybody else.

You don't say if your role appears as Recruit/your town role when you die, if you die who do you win with, etc.
