Transporter should really be a neutral role. Whilst it can help the town sometimes, so can many neutral roles like survivor, jester who haunts an evil role, Sk who kills mafia etc. It can be so chaotic to coordinate that many townies die instead. An example I had in a recent game was a skilled transporter suspected a player of being mafia so they swapped themselves with him so he couldn't attack himself (in secret). Unfortunately, a smart vigilante suspected the same person but shot the transporter because they were transported and two townies died just because the transporter was trying to do what a transporter should be doing and pacify mafia. It can work well in some ways but mostly they work in ways that are more advantageous to the transporter themself rather than the town and this is only through good luck. Thoughts?
