This role is unique makes sense

Abilities :

- you can choose to gossip with a player by selecting a player on the day.k

- the selected player will not know your name. good

- if you did, you can talk to that player in private at night. '''so talking like the jailor. I will discuss why this is a problem below.'''

- if that player was jailed. You cannot perform your gossip.

- you only have 3 gossips.

- if you gossiped with a mafia or a coven member, they will not be able to talk with their fellow members but the other members will know what you say.

- if a spy bugged you, they will get a feedback *your target is gossiping at night*

Investigator results : spy blackmailer jailor guardian angel or gossip. 3 1 0 1 hmm

Sheriff results : your target is not suspicious. k 

Consigliere results : your target gossips at night. They must be a gossip 

'''Your target seems to have conversations at night with others. They must be a Gossip!''' Ok so in my opinion, this role would not have much use in the game, this is due to the fact that it functions as a nerfed Jailor, that goes around at night collecting claims from other people, but cannot execute/protect/roleblock it's target. Plus it has only 3 uses, this is really just an UP jailor.

Jailor is unique in the game for a good reason, it is one of the most powerful town roles in the game and can be used to rid of almost all evils. Plus it can talk with it's target and do a multitude of different jobs. This role here can only collect claims, and it can only do so 3 times.

There isn't very much use for this role in game. Just remember that whenever you make a role idea, think about it's purpose in-game. What is it meant to do, and how useful would it be?

Also this is a useful page to look at   https://town-of-salem.wikia.com/wiki/Making_New_Roles

Only an incredibly small amount of Role ideas actually make it in the game, so don't give up!
