Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-2001:1C03:3403:C900:9989:6950:912:D5C5-20180908181034

Name: Criminal

Alingment: Neutral(Chaos)

Attack: None (unstoppable when picking a person to hold hostage)

Defense: None

Abilities: After 3 days into the game the Criminal can pick a person to abduct and hold hostage, this may only be done ONCE.

Attributes: When a person is hold hostage it'll be similiar like a jailor jailing someone, you can talk to them and they can't use their abilities, however a message will appear in the Town reading out (The Criminal has held hostage Player2, he is demanding to leave this Town or player2 will die!) poeple can then vote if player2 should  be released, if so then player2 will no longer be held hostage and Player1 will leave the town securing a victory, when someone is held hostage their will and role will be revealed to the entire Town, the player held hostage is unable to be lynched(doesn't really matter cause if they dont get vote-released by the town the  criminal is forced to kill the hostage)

now since the attributes are a lot to take in i will try to sum it all up together for the poeple that have the attention span of a brick, if you want a more detailed explanation read the attributes:

the criminal can hold someone hostage and a message will appear in the town saying he did if the town doesnt vote a release for the hostage then the criminal will be forced to kill him, the hostage's role/will will be revealed to the town and he cant get voted off

Investigation Results:

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious

Investigator: Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, Guardian Angel or Criminal

Consigliere: Your target is trying to leave the Town safely, They must be a Criminal!

Goal: Leave the Town safely.

Questions and Answers

Q: But the Town will never want to give you a free win!

A: If you capture a Townie then the Town can consider giving you a win so they can keep that Townie safe, especially if they are considered a high value target(Retributionist, Jailor etc)

Q: But this role is too easy to win with!

A: If you capture an evil then the town won't vote for a release making you have to kill them and ending in a loss, plus there is a waiting period before you can hold someone hostage making you vulnerable during that time and you can't keep them hostage for the entire game if the day ends and the town hasn't voted for a release then it's game over

Q: how does the release system work

A: There will be a big button which poeple can click to ask for a release if the appropiate number is hit the person will be released and the Criminal can leave the Town safely.
