Alignment: Town Support

Backstory:

The Sheriff stood blankly, mesmerized by the words the mafioso said. “I confess. It was me who shot the medium. The Godfather gave me the orders to.”

The Sheriff reached for his handcuffs before he was intrigued. “Why would you confess? Doesn’t that break some sort of code?”

“It breaks all the codes. I want out.” The Sheriff took his hand off the cuffs behind his back. “I want to work with the town, and I have an idea on how to.”

“You’ve got some nerve thinking I’m not gonna lock you up. I should have you shot right now.”

“I want them gone as much as you do!”

“You murdered for them! You’re a part of their family!” The wind picked up behind them.

“It was never my choice. I was a former shop worker, but they took everything away from me and expected I work for them now. I had no choice but to submit.” He shed a single tear. “They killed my family to ensure loyalty.”

The Sheriff took off his hat. The Mafioso sunk down against the wall of a shop in the alley they were arguing in. “I want the Godfather dead. And I know how to do it.”

The Sheriff reached his hand out to help the man up.

“I’m a runner. I can waste people’s time pretty well and keep them coming back for more.”

The Sheriff smiled. “We got work to do. I’ll talk to the investigator.”

Attack: None

Defense: Basic

'''Town should not have Defense, no matter what the circumstances are. I get that it's for lore reasons (at least I think it is), but Town with defense is greatly disapproved.'''

​​​​​​​Abilities: You can choose to lie in wait outside someone’s home each night.

Attributes:

You will roleblock all visitors to your target.

You will roleblock a random visitor to your target the following night.

'''The main thing I see it being used for is a form of TP, like Lookout and Transporter are. Blocking all the visitors to a target would also block Attackers and such, and even leaves a trace of the Roleblocking for the next night. This is very strong, as it's a role that can repeatedly stop anything (except you, of course) from visiting your target of choice, which could be a Mayor or Jailor or something.'''

'''My question is, what happens if you visit a target twice in a row, and the random visitor that the game chooses happens to be you (since you visited the previous night)? I assume that your ability doesn't go through, but please correct me if I'm wrong.'''

Messages:

Successfully baiting someone: You have baited someone successfully.

Roleblocked (second night): You were roleblocked by a Convict!

Goal: Lynch every criminal and evil doer

Achievements:

Winning:

1: Shiny Lure

5: Sprinter

10: Marathoner

25: Olympian.

50: Hermes

Back for more: Bait the same person twice in one game.

Double-crossed: Be killed by a veteran and a serial killer in the same night.

This was a shotty role. Focus on the functionality. Overall, a great concept! However, I would like to make some suggestions

Don't give it defense, as Town with defense is not only disapproved, it's also very strong, since it can't be killed.

Don't make it last through to the next night, as this increases utility way too much. Each night, you'd have one house that has all of it's visitors blocked, and one house that has one visitor blocked (most houses only recieve one visitor anyways).

Don't let it infinitely block off one person, perhaps by adding a rule that prevents it from visiting the same house twice in a row or something of the sort (maybe even limit the amount of times it can use it's ability?), as this is my biggest concern about this role. The way it'd be played (as of right now) would be "Find anyone worth keeping alive. Use ability on them untill you find more important person. Then use ability on them, and repeat.", since when it uses it's ability on someone, it pretty much gaurantees their survival for that night.

I'll be waiting for Investigative results and all that, so please send them out soon!
