Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-33303864-20171018034514/@comment-27575896-20171018145607

This is just a Necromancer rehash for the Mafia. Roles like these have been suggested and rejected, and here's why:

Messes with the Trial System. The engineer can have 3 bodies controlled spamming through one or them all, and then he may get reported, but still.

This role can't do anything with the bodies other than have them show as alive. So the Town can potentially waste a lynch, but still. It's a big Necromancer rehash.

The role is pointless if the Mafia fail to kill one night. Being able to accurately guess when Neutral Killing will attack roles is hard as heck, and if the Mafia fail, welp, waste of a night for you.

From what this seems, it makes Mediums even more pointless. They don't appear dead even if they are, and you haven't said if Mediums can still talk to those being controlled.

That invest result is death to all Mediums everywhere. Once someone finds out this role exists, all claims are dead. Including the Engineer if he gets caught.

Controlling three people at once for say, HOW does it actually work? How do you speak for others? To me, this uses a lot of code.

I wouldn't have this in the game. Very confusing for me, not explained much, and confusing for new players. Scrap it.
