I like the role and the mechanics a lot, but there is a few issues:

1) You need to put that they can chat with the mafia (unless they actually can't and can only whisper to mafia members during daytime)

2) When they talk to mafia AND dead, wouldnt it be somewhat chaotic to try and seem medium-y while talking to the mafia? Kind of like when a medium seances a jailor but the jailor is trying to talk with the prisoner- chaos.

3) I apologize if this sounds rude, but on the wiki there is a page that puts quite a few things out there, and one of them is that any mafia/neutral/coven role that copies a town, like this and mediums, is against the rules. You can see the page here.

Overall, this seems like a great idea, but I don't necessarily think it would work out in the games. Plus, the chaos would be overwhelming and the dead could easily tell a real medium that there is a Communicator since the Communicator would also be chatting with the mafia. I do like that it could potentially help if there is a janitor, but as stated, it is too alike the medium.

Good try, though! Next time, maybe consider looking at the rules and making a role that fits!

Keep trying!

thats also hopefully not useless like the framer, forger and disguiser
