Role: Gossiper

Town Allignment: Mafia Deception

Summary: You are assisting organized crime by spreading lies and rumors to manipulate information.

Good Summary

Description: During each day phase, you can gossip to someone. The gossip makes that target say something that they didn't. The target will not know about what they said. You have 2 or 3 gossips each day (I'm kind of torn between 2 and 3 right now).

'''Do you play Throne of Lies? this sounds remarkably like Trollbox from the Scorned in Throne of Lies'''

Goal: Kill everyone that would oppose the Mafia.

Sheriff: Your target is the member of the Mafia!

Invest: Your target is an Investigator, Jester, Spy, Blackmailer, or a Gossipper

These are incorrect results, you add on to existing results, this is closest to Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, Guardian Angel, and now Gossiper, The link to INvest results are HERE  Yeah I'm sorry about those false Invest results I'm not that familiar with what the Invest gets. Coven Leader: Your target loves to spread rumors and lies. They must be a Gossipper!

I got inspiration of this role from the trollboxes that the Fool and the Scorned have in Throne of Lies. Yes I do play Throne of Lies I really love social deduction games I also made this role because BMG should make roles that can manipulate the day phase. Roles that can affect the Discussion, Voting, and the Judgement phases. I feel like new town, mafia, and neutral roles that can do that would be very interesting to see and the Gossipper can pave the way to these kinds of mechanics. The Gossipper can be a very interesting mafia role to play but you can still mess up and make it obvious that there is a Gossipper in the game. This role of course works the best with the Consigiliere. But give me your thoughts on this role and whether you like it your not!

'''Oh. Also BMG hates roles that affect the actual voting system, as in putting people on trial, but as this doesnt do that, its cool.''' I will properly review it later after school, thats just my first opinions without reviewing/tearing it apart

I am open to all constructive criticism. I would love to see your review soon. Thank you for taking your time to read my idea. This idea just kind of struck in my mind because I would like to see more roles that use the day phase to their advantage for their faction in Town of Salem. Hopefully my idea can help contribute to the future of the game.
