2001:1C03:3403:C900:9989:6950:912:D5C5 wrote: Name: Criminal

Alingment: Neutral(Chaos)

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

Defense: None sure

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

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 where to vote?, if so then player2 will no longer be held hostage and Player1 '''who's player 1 again? the criminal? will leave the town securing a victory who's 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) so do you vote for the person to be released by voting them up to stand?'''

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 '''ru insulting bricks they are very good listeners, ever heard of talking to a wall? lol I'm jk.. continuing''', 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 ok

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

Consigliere: Your target is trying to leave the Town safely, They must be a Criminal! I still don't understand this, what do you mean "leave the town"

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) '''but what if you capture an evil role? then you easily lose, it's too RNG, if you pick a town, you win. Pick an evil, you lose, and you're forcing the role out of someone, so it's bad for the evil'''

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 '''ohhhh waiting period, you said you can only do it once... what's the cooldown? also if you kill them then you lose so... I'm confused 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 game over as you lose? no one loses until the end of the game (or unless they die) so you die?'''

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. oh 

'''​​​​​​​overall, it's just that if you pick a town, you win, pick evil, you lose. that's it... '''
