Abiltiy: Choose two people to shock at night

Attributes: If a target is shocked, they won't know what events happened to them. If your target was attacked, it will not show how they died. But only you will know. (e.g. If they were roleblocked, If they were attacked and healed). Talk with mafia and become mafioso if mk die blah blah blah.

So if it's a TI, you get revealed because you investigated someone but no results and you weren't roleblocked.

'''​No. The TI still gets the results. It's just that they won't know what events happened to them (e.g. if they were transed, they wouldn't get the 'You were transported to another location' message.)'''

'''Okay. Thank you for clarifying...'''

Goal: Pretty much same as other mafia

Notes: It won't prevent a message for roles gaining information not show up if you shock them. Ex: If a invest checks someone and wirer shocks invest, invest will get results. Keep in mind that this role does now show the person they shocked about what happened to them.

'''Oh. So... It will shock away the 'murder back to help', 'attacked but someone fought off the attacker', 'You have died', 'You didn't use your ability', and 'your target was immune'.'''

Sheriff: Mafia obviously

Invest: Escort, trans, consort, or wirer

No. Don't create new results.

'''​Uhh...those were the after 1.5 results. Should I make it clear? 'Your target is skilled at disrupting other. They could be a Escort, Transporter, Consort, or Wirer

'''Sorry, I was confusing this with Mayor/Invest/Consig. IDK why.'''

Consig: Your target hides what happens to someone. They must be a wirer.

Achievments

Copper Wire (1st win)

Zappy zappy (5 wins)

Conducter (10 wins)

And they never knew (25 wins)

That screwed up (Shock a mafia member)

What happened (Shock yourself)

As always, load the cannons of criticism on me. Not gonna lie, I have no clue how this would help the mafia.

REJECTED UNTIL YOU EXPLAIN The reason I made this is that it won't show anyone how someone died. This means the wirer can show the mafia how someone died, and they would know what type of killlers are there. (e.g. They would know if there is a Veteran, Vigilante, etc.).

'''Yeah, why would that be useful? I understand that hiding whether or not mafia were in the game is useful, but other than that... Why is it important to hide what NK there is from the town?'''

As this can hide what type of roles visit someone, this can cause a role to assume nothing happened to them. This mainly sticks around to decieve players and to ruin a role's way of proving themselves. Think of this: Someone claims escort. The mayor is asked to be roleblocked. The wirer shocks the mayor, which makes the escort claim suspicious. The escort is lynched, and now everyone knows there is a wirer, but the wirer now makes people wary of what they do. There can be some people who haven't made claims. And now to play safely, they claim said role and done said action on a player. This about sums it up.

I think a player using the wirer for the first time would be lost. I mean, most roles are simple enough to start out: You shut someone up who has good info. You convert the confirmed townie. You use your vest when you become endangered.

This requires a bit more work than the casual player wants.
