bad at making names, but this needs work

Immunities - None

Type of Role - Town

ok

Attributes - You have the ability to make selected person not see other chat.

Ability - (Most likely unbalanced, planning to change it with help of comments) You can choose a target every night / every other night and can only do this 3 times max and can only do it once per target.

MAKE IT EVERY NIGHT.

-Said target will then have something similar to the blackmailer - they cannot see other people's text in the day, which includes whispers, defense in a trial, ect. This also applies to things such as if a fellow Mafia member decides to kill someone or if voting for someone's final verdict (not putting them on trial, but on verdict).

-A target can still talk, and others can see his response, but of course the target won't know their response.

-Besides being unable to see their whispers, others can still see if someone tries to whisper to a target, and Spy can still see what they tried to say.

WAIT SO, THEY ONLY TRY TO WHISPER? IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY GO THORUGH?

-Can still see last wills and death notes.

OK

-Will not say if you hit a mafia or vampire but if you do, it will also continue onto the night. Being jailed and other things do not continue onto the night.

WAIT, SO IT LASTS A DAY AND A NIGHT?

-Will alert you if you are Tuned.

OK

The reason this guy is Townie is because I wanted a Town Blackmailer except of course, not the same version. That's why I made this version, which seems more plausible - you won't be voted out for "not being able to see other text" and it won't give a huge impact as much as blackmailing does.

Investigator - [Will probably be changed]  Your target is skilled at disrupting others. They could be an Escort, Transporter, Tuner, or Consort.

NICE

Sheriff - Your target is not suspcious.

Gameplay (or to be imagined) -

-The Tuner doesn't do the action, but rather can be the helper. While the Sheriff and Investigator are doing their things, a Tuner can tune someone they are suspicious of, for example someone who refuses to talk or say role. If they're framer, for example, they won't know who to frame since they don't know who is being killed, and therefore can either not frame anyone or guess at random. Remember that this won't greatly effect Mafioso or Godfather since they work together whether or not they are Tuned.

Pros

+The ability to mute other people's text to a specific target

+The fact that it effects evil doers

+Works amazingly well with investigating roles (Sheriff found mafia but couldn't lynch?  Use it on suspected person so that they can't communicate with team)

+The fact that, if investigated, only 1/4 of your roles is possibly a bad role + Always not suspicious for sheriff, yo're basically always safe.

Cons

-No immunities, meaning role blocking and dying at night is definitely a possibility

-Can only do it once per target, so winging it won't work

IT SHOULD BE THAT YOU CAN DO IT FOR ALL TARGETS, OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE OK.

-The fact that you do not know when the best moment to strike is

-Can only do it three times

SEE ABOVE

-If it's revealed, most likely they will already be lynched. This means you're doing mainly behind-the-scenes

This is my first time writing a role. I didn't really know what to do but I liked the idea so I just winged it and made it. If there's any suggestions, please say helpful comments that aren't mean or rude. Calling me stupid for an idea I tried on isn't gonna help anyone. Its like a town version of a surdus, a reverse blackmailer!!! it's cool but the only problem is, they would probably do it randomly and hurt lots of town. and it wouldn't really do much cuz spy already limits mafia chat. it needs something to make it more op. right now its up but it has potential
