�Name: Blinder

'''right..? it doesn't really fit the theme of occupations and all but whatever'''

Alignment: Mafia (Support)

Attack: None

Defense: None

all cool

Unique: Yes (If not unique, mafia would have 4 blindings)

understood

Priority: (Optional): 6

oh boy

Abilities+Attributes:

this better fit on a role card

You can blind the town. This will not reveal who died every night and won't reveal if someone voted or not. You can blind the town twice.

'''So..extra confusion? sounds like something mafia would do, though I sense some janitor mm'''

You may talk in Mafia chat.

You know other Mafia members.

If no Mafia Killing that can kill, you turn Mafioso.

Spacing, dood

Mechanics: (How It Works): You can blind the town twice. If you do so, the deads won't be revealed. However, this will be the next day unless that day is blinded also. If you chose to blind the town, if anyone votes, it won't be revealed in the chat. However it still counts. It also isn't revealed how many votes are needed. In the judgement phase it also isn't told who voted what.

'''all good. kind of like janitor, especially since in the morning you can see the corpses so you'll know who's dead, but the vote part is nice.'''

-Investigative Results-


 * Your target is a member of the Mafia!

perfect


 * Your target is Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, Guardian Angel or Blinder!

2-2-0-1. Good

/: Your target blinds the town. They must be a Blinder!

Could use work

Goal: Mafia goal.

Anything Else: No.

all good

Strategy: You could blind the town when mafia is planning to vote the same person as a very active person accusing someone who isn't mafia. Like if someone is obvious Exe, you could blind the town and vote the person the Exe is accusing. Maybe you can get the person up without revealing self! It also allows to not see the will of the possible TI you killed yet.

'''basically, to cause havoc. good.'''

Msges: 'The Blinder has blinded the town! The dead people and votes will not be revealed today!' 'You have decided to blind the town.' 'You have 2 blindings left.'�

nice Main points:

+Balance is done pretty well. You have a really good reason as to why this role is unique. If you had 4 blindings, that would be pretty OP. 2 would be a useful asset to the mafia andd would nerf town, which is nice. Powerful, but not to the point where it needs to be weaked.

+Even if the ability has 2 different parts, it isn't two complicated, which is always valued. And though using the abilities effectively would take practice, the role itself is pretty new player friendly.

-I dont see much of a problem with originality or anything else, maybe besides the consig result. Sure, it may not reveal the will or role like a janitor, but at least it has a secondary ability. Looking at this, it's probably better if you remove that part of the ability completely. The only dilemma I see from there is that messing with the vote system, as cool and totally playable as it might be, is kind of frowned upon by the BMG rules on http://town-of-salem.wikia.com/wiki/Making_New_Roles. However, I don't think there's a literal rule that says this exactly isn't allowed, so we're cool, I guess?

Overall, I'd give it a:

"not bad"/10 IGN

im sorry, wikia ate all my notifications and I completely forgot about this ;-;
