Alignment-Mafia Support

Abilities-Choose a player to pretend to be and a player to frighten.

Attributes-The frightened player cannot visit the player you pretended to be (they will be informed that they're frightened of that person)

That's like a very, very direct Consort

If you frighten someone that is already frightened by someone else, the person that they're frightened about will change.

Their fear will remain if you become Mafioso but it'll be removed when you die.

So it's an OP but also UP direct Consort

Sheriff-MAFIA

Invest-Look Forge Amne CovenL Fright

Consig-Your target gives people a fear about someone else! They must be a Frightener!

REJECTED!

Reasons: Is a Consort that can roleblock multiple people from visiting a different multiple people.

Role-Liar

Alignment-Mafia Deception

Abilities-Choose two players at night. Neither of them can hear each other's messages or whispers anymore.

'''OP and UP (depending on time of the game) Blackmailer. Also, very easy to confirm when someone says "can you hear each other's messages?" and you respond no, so they can relay the players' messages and confirm that there is a Liar in the game, and also kind of encourages gamethrowing (someone can claim they never read another players' messages and that's why they lynched, executed, etc)

Sheriff-MAFIA

Invest-Invest Consig Mayor PB Track Liar

Consig-Your target lies to people about others! They must be a Liar!

REJECTED!

'''Reasons: A Blackmailer that is OP or UP, depending on the state and/or time of the game, and also encourages gamethrowing. Also, lots of coding.'''

Role-Echo

Alignment-Mafia Support

Abilities-Choose someone to be an echo of.

Attributes-All whispers from and to them will be forwarded to the rest of the Mafia.

Old-Spy-thing that is way, way, way, way too ridiculously OP.

Sheriff-mafia

Invest-Look Forge Amne CovenL Echo

Consig-Your target echoes what people say. They must be an Echo!

REJECTED!

'''Reasons: You forward ALL WHISPERS to the Mafia. Isn't that kind of obvious as to why it's rejected? Besides, this would only really be helpful when the Spy could still read whispers. Because then all the Mafia could easily claim Spy, and instantly get claims of other people.'''

Role-Ambassador

Alignment-Mafia Support

Abilities-Choose someone during the day to offer to let them side with the Mafia. (They can only win with you)

'''Conversion role. Already rejected.'''

Attributes-They will Be informed that an Ambassador has offered to let them side with them.

If they aren't Town or they do their action, they'll reject the offer. Otherwise, they'll accept it.

So only Town can side with you, and a Consort and Ambassador combo would be too OP. Even more already rejected.

You can do this once.

Oh okay, that's better, but it still doesn't change the fact that it is technically a conversion role.

Sheriff-MAFIA

Invest-Surv VH Witch Medusa Psychic Ambassador

Consig-Your target speaks and offers people to join the Mafia's cause. They must be an Ambassador!

REJECTED!

Reasons: Conversion role that can easily fail but also encourages game throwing All roles are rejected.
