Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-31722862-20170412055756

Hello people of the ToS community! This is my first idea for a new role, and it probably isnt that great, and probably get rejected quickly, but I've been thinking about it for a while and decided I might as well post it, so here we go!

Alignment: Mafia Support

Abilities: Collect the results of the nightly attacks

Attributes: At the end of the night the player will recieve a list of players who attacked another during the night. The Detector WILL NOT ​be notified of any of the roles or the targets of the attack. When there are no kill capable Mafia roles left you will become a Mafioso. You can talk with the other Mafia at night. (Maybe give limited uses?)

Results:

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target has sensitive information to reveal. They could be the Investigator, Consigliere, Mayor, or Detector! (Perhaps would be better to use the one you get from inspecting Lookout/Forger/Amnesiac?)

Consigliere: Your target knows who are willing to kill. They must be a Detector!

Goal: Kill all who will not submit to the Mafia.

Immunites: None

Unique: Yes (can be changed)

Lore (just for fun, can be changed, sorry its so long, got carried away): At first the Detector was a normal Lookout.One night, she was doing her duty as usual, this night watching over the Jailer. It seemed calm enough, the Jailer had brought someone in as normal.

Only moments later did another man arrive, following the Jailers path. Soon after a yell was heard and the heavy thump of the body hitting the ground. The night was ending, and if the murderer saw her watching, there was no way she would survive to tell the tale. So she fled the scene and waited until the time to tell her fellow members what she saw. The Town was in panic, the Jailer was dead! It was chaos until she silenced the crowd.

She pointed at the man she saw following the Jailer moments before the murder. "He's the murderer, lynch him!" She cried out, eager to avenge the fallen Jailer. The Town, in much fury, moved to lynch the man. The man desperately claims that he is the town sheriff and wanted to check on the Jailor to see what he found out already. His attempts were in vain and he was sentenced to death. Just as he took his final breath, a small sheriff badge falls from the inside of his coat. In the mans panic he forgot he had it, failing to disprove the Lookouts claim.

The Lookout, in sheer horror at what she has caused, only could stammer out apology after apology. The man the Jailer had taken in pointed her out shouting "She must be working for the mafia! Lynch her! Lynch her! Avenge the deaths!"

Whipped into fury and driven by desperation, the Town moved to put her on the stand. She tries desperatly to explain herself, that she didn't know, that it was all a mistake. Little did she know, the Godfather had been calmly watching the situation unfold, when time came, he voted her innocent, along with a couple hesitant townies. The rest of the mafia soon followed their leaders action and the poor Lookout was taken off the stand. Even then she still felt the ghostly feel of the death rope around her next. She was shocked, and deeply hurt by how easily the town would turn against her, not listening to her after the death of the Sheriff. That night she returned home, unsure of what to do, when her door was broken down and in stepped the Godfather.

The Godfather looked at the emotionally broken Lookout with a look of sympathy and began to talk to her. With his silver tongue and optimal timing he convinced the Lookout to come with him and nothing like this would happen again. The Mafia would protect her, not turn on her like the Town did so eagerly. Much time passed and the new Detector had found her place, gaining admiration and gratitude from her fellow Mafia members. As usual she watched from her vantage point, taking notes of all the attacks taking place that night and awaited the moment to report to the Godfather.

This role, as said above, will allow the player to see who attacked another during the night, but will not reveal the role nor the target. Vetrens on alert who kill, Vigilanties who shoot that night, Jailers who choose to execute, and bodyguards that counterattack will also appear as a result. Vampires who convert will not show. Witches who control an attacker will not appear, only the attacker themselves.

This can let the Mafia know who they may need to watch out for. If the Detector lets the mafia know who was an attacker, the mafia could use that to lie their way out of a bad situation if need be.

(Feel free to give suggestions to change the role if you want, or just downright reject it! Don't be to harsh though, please. Thank you for reading!)
