Role: Gossiper

Town Allignment: Mafia Deception

Summary: You are assisting organized crime by spreading lies and rumors to manipulate information.

Description: During each day phase, you can gossip to someone. The gossip makes that target say something that they didn't. The target will not know about what they said. You have 2 or 3 gossips each day (I'm kind of torn between 2 and 3 right now).

'''I'd say 3, as that's the rule of thumb with roles. Three cleanings for the Janitor, etc.'''

Goal: Kill everyone that would oppose the Mafia.

Sheriff: Your target is the member of the Mafia!

Invest: Your target is an Investigator, Jester, Spy, Blackmailer, or a Gossipper

'''Voltingshock said it already, but you can't change invest results. '''

Coven Leader: Your target loves to spread rumors and lies. They must be a Gossipper!

I got inspiration of this role from the trollboxes that the Fool and the Scorned have in Throne of Lies. I also made this role because BMG should make roles that can manipulate the day phase. Roles that can affect the Discussion, Voting, and the Judgement phases. I feel like new town, mafia, and neutral roles that can do that would be very interesting to see and the Gossipper can pave the way to these kinds of mechanics. The Gossipper can be a very interesting mafia role to play but you can still mess up and make it obvious that there is a Gossipper in the game. This role of course works the best with the Consigiliere. But give me your thoughts on this role and whether you like it your not! Alright, so...

Would you decide what thing the person would say, and when they say it, or are there preset times/messages? Or a mix of the two?

I can review it then.
