73.168.252.154 wrote: Role: Binder

Alignment: Town (Support)

Attack: None

Defense: None

Goal: Lynch all evildoers.

Ability: At night, choose one target to bind (Yourself) with.

Attributes:

- When you bind with someone, every event that happens to you will also happen to your target

- If you get roleblocked, your target will also get roleblocked (since you binded with them).

- Anything that happens to target won't happen to you, it only works one way.

- If your target is jailed, your binding will fail. If your target is an alerting veteran, your ability will fail and you will die.

- Investigators, LOs, and Sheriff will only get your results, not your targets. Spies will see both because you and your target have the same thing happen anyway. (This is false though. If your target is roleblocked and you aren't then the results will not be both ways.)

- Players will not know you binded with them and will receive the normal messages. It can be obvious there is a Binder if you see two people who died by maf next day.

Events:

Roleblocked: Both you and your target get roleblocked.

Witched: You and your target will both visit one target if applicable. Witch only gets (Investigates) your role

Attacked: Both you and your target will be attacked by that attack level. If your target has defense above that attack level, they will survive. A werewolf rampage only occurs at your house if the werewolf chose you.

Healed: Doctors will heal both you and your target.

Doused: Both you and your target get doused.

Framed: Both you and your target get framed.

Notifications:

"You have chose to bind with [player]". I rewrote it with grammar fixes for ease of understanding -

Basically past the grammar, this role seems insanely inconsistent. A lot of actions are ignored in the "Events" section.

If all actions are present but not listed:

-This role is a great way of taking a Mafia as collateral, but unfortunately they will obviously not target you if you reveal.

-This is a great way of spreading frames and plagues, making this a negative utility. You give most evils double-time.

-This role doesn't not have many ways to be useful other than by luck as you can't kill anyone like Transporter can as you can only bind yourself and another person. Whatever happens to you is usual negative anyway, meaning Transporter is usually more viable.

If only the actions listed are present:

-This role is role-dependent.

-This role has very little utility and is overshadowed by almost every role.
