How many coins can you store at a time? Couldn't you theoretically just keep making coins?

Also, like Uli said, change the investigator results. If that comes up for an invest, it's an insta-lynch and the only thing that would come close to maybe-possibly saving the Merchant's life would be an exe claim.

It also kinda seems a bit like a Surv:rehash, although I can see the work that was put into this and I appreciate it.

Until these questions are answered, I will withhold judgement.

There are many roles that are similar to each other. Considering Escort and Consort, albeit they are on separate teams. Similar criticism could be given towards Sheriff and Investigator. So yes, it is similar to Survivor but the idea stands alone; it is quite original and the "merchant" theme fits along very well with the "Town of Salem" name. I do agree, the Investigator results could be changed. I did not think about the insta-lynch. And yes, you could make coins forever, but again, you would lose your voting ability, and you lose 2 coins every time you attacked. Regardless that you can theoretically make coins forever, it won't ever get to the point of being overpowered -- I had this in mind while making the role.
