Role: Elder

Alignment: Town Support

Abilities: (Let me say this in my own words:) The Elder cannot speak at all. Not when being lynched, not normally, not even during his last words. Why? Because the Elder knows everyone's roles. You know the box that tells you the rolls in the normal game? Well, when the Elder mouses over a role, it will show the Elder who is that role and what they are. For example, if the Elder mouses over 'Town Protective', it could say "John Proctor - Doctor". So, yes, the Elder knows everyon's roles but can't speak at all. So, what does he do? At night, the Elder can choose to speak to a person. Whoever he talks too will still be able to prefrom their role, unless that person is the Jailor. If he talks to the Jailor, the Jailor will not be able to jail. So, when you are talking to the Elder, you get to ask them one yes-or-no question. I mean, you get one line of speech. The Elder can respond by saying "Yes" or "No" (there will be boxes he can click to answer).

Side Notes of the Abilities:  1. The Elder can talk to a person more than once. Whoever the Elder is talking too will be immune that night, and if a killing role targets that person, it will say that person is immune. 2. The Elder is not immune too anything. 3. Yes, I guess other people could simply not talk the entire game to trick people into thinking they are the Elder, but, that would make since... it's a good strategy. 4. The Elder can talk to anyone more than once. He CAN die when visiting the veteran. 5. When someone is talking to the Elder, I said they get one line of speech and then the Elder can answer "Yes" or "No." Like I said, the Elder will have buttons to press so that he can't type. He can also answer ONLY ONCE. The person he is talking too could theoritically ask more than one question in that line of speech, but if they do, then they better hope the answer to all of them is "Yes" or "No." For example, if someone asks "Is John Proctor the SK? And is Deodat Lawson good?" Unless the answer to both of these questions is yes or no, there's  a bit of a problem. 6. The amount of characters the question-ee can ask in their question is limited. 7. The Elder does not have a Last Will. 8. There can only be one Elder per round. 9. The Elder can't vote.

Results:                                                                                                                                       Sheriff - Your target N/S. Investigator - (whatever it says). Your target is either a Godfather, Mayor, or Elder. Consigliere - Your target is wise and mute. They must be the Elder!

Okay, so, is this a good idea or not? I'm not really sure, but I'd personally like to see it! I know that no last will, no talking, and no voting may be a bit unfair, but otherwise the Elder would be WAY too OP. I still would like to see this, though. Also, here's a list of achievements I'd like to see that associate with the Elder:

Oh, Wait A Minute... - blackmail the Elder. (blackmailer's achievement)                                   He Knows - investigate the Elder. (consigliere's achievement)                                                   Wisdom Prevails - win a game as the Elder for the first time. (elder's achievement)                   What's The Point of This Conversation Again? - talk to a SK (elder's achievement)                   I Think I'd've Been Useful   - talk to a member of the mafia (elder's acheivement)                     Way To Go, Genius  - shoot the Elder  (vigilante's achievement)
