Interesting...

Attack: None

Defense: None

100% good so far...

Abilities:

- Reset someone's alarm clock. (Night)

- Reset the town clock. (Day)

(Is now a little worried that this is a "staller" role)

Go on...

Attributes:

- Resetting someone's alarm clock will result in them seeing no messages during the day and will be able to send none.

-urk-

Huh?

'''So you don't get...chat messages? Vote messages, Reveal messaged?'''

Wth happens if you get voted up?

Do you even know if this is in effect?

- Resetting the town clock is a one use only and can be used anytime during the day to skip the entire day to the next night.

(Sigh)

I am really not a fan of roles that "end phases faster" (Especially when you factor in things like Jailors and Pirates)

'''I suppose having it once is mayyyyyybe tolerable. Maybe?'''

Mechanics:

- Resetting someone's alarm clock will make them see no messages that day, and will also not be able to send any. They will wake up during the trial phase, however. The person will be able to see the death messages and game messages normally, however.

Wait a second...

'''This is just an OP Blackmailer!!! It can stop the guy from talking AND block messages from getting to him... (Plus that [skip a day] thing)'''

The only advantage BM has over this is that this guy's targets can talk after being put on trial (and presumably after that)

- Resetting the town clock basically skips the day and fasts forwards to night. You cannot use this more than once, and can only use this during the day, but at any time.

'''Idk, maybe this can only be active before the trial period... and then only skip the trial period? If only so this has some sense of balance?'''

Also seriously, it's pretty likely this would cause some insane lagging for people...

- Players will be alerted when their clock is reset, and the entire town will be notified if you reset the town clock.

(Good to know)

Investigation Results:

- Sheriff: Your target is suspicious.

He TINKERS for crying out loud >:(

CLOCKS ARE EVIL DAMMIT

- Investigator: Your target could be a Medium, Janitor, Retributionist, Necromancer, Trapper, or Tinkerer.

(I feel like that's a bit off)

- Consigliere: Your target is experienced with machines. They must be the Tinkerer! Two problems:


 * This is waaaaaay too abusable in a meta sense

Afk people'll just claim that they were "clocked out"

Idiots who don't read chat will say that they didn't see the Jailor claim because they were "clocked"      (Oh, and this supports the D1 Jailor meta, fantastic...)


 * This has Blackmailer abilities + Time travel abilities + Lag inducing abilities.... I think this might be a little OP
