You are a skilled man who cleans memory

Goal : kill everyone who would oppose the mafia.check

Abilities :

- clean a player's feedbacks each night.

Atributes :

- you can talk with your fellow mafia at night.

- you may choose to clean a player's feedback each night.

- your target will see no feedbacks at all. By feed back, I assume messages like 'you were attacked last night but someone fought off your attacker

- if there are no capable roles of killing, you will be a mafioso.

Investigator results : lookout forger coven leader or cleaner. 1t 2m 0n 1c ok, might be a bit too unbalanced

Sheriff results : your target is the member of the mafia or your target is suspicious.check

Consigliere results : your target cleans memories. They must be a cleaner. Check Howdy

This is a good start, I will report on it below.

I think not all messages are able to be cleaned, like 'you have died' or 'you were attacked by a member of the mafia', since you will find out anyway.

Personal opinion on this is it is a little underpowered. I can't think of that many situations that the role would be useful in, maybe blocking TIs from doing their job, in which case its like a consort, and possibly fooling tps into thinking they were not roleblocked by your consort.

Suggestions

Cleaner (the name) is too similar to janitor. Maybe try 'brainwasher'?

The invest result is just a little too unbalanced. There is a bit too high of a chance that you get either a forger or a cleaner, resulting in a lot of lookout claims and lookout suspicion. Maybe try changing the invest result to a different one? This is only very minor.

Mechanism changes. You also get what was originally supposed to happen to them, so stealling TI results and stuff like that. It could act like a deception which also gains some info as well, which could be quite good if you leech off an invest.

Overall

Ok/10

By the standards of BMG, the role would need some tweaking to become better. But still, a very good start, better than my first lol.
