Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-27044329-20161120193119

This role is from the SC2 Mafia mod, I really liked the concept myself so I was wondering what you thought of it. The Crier is a Town Government role who has the ability to speak at night to all the players in the game. This ability is unique to the Crier and to the Judge. To the extent there is both a Crier and a Judge in a game, there may be confusion as to who is speaking.

Strategically, a Crier may attempt to inform the Town of useful information they might have missed, or of his opinion on something that may sway votes with the rest of the town knowing the opinion isn't from the Mafia. The Crier can also confirm which player he or she is to the Town, but this may make him the target of the Mafia / Triad or Neutral Killer.

In the hands of an experienced player, the Crier has the ability to rally a Town and get scum roles killed off quickly. The Crier is, however, limited by Town information so even a Mafia veteran have trouble sometimes, while a newbie with a bunch of information might just save the Town. If all else fails, the Crier has the ability to easily clear his name and provide the Town with a self-confirm able town role.
