Name:  Convict 

Alignment:

Goal: Provoke the into executing you.

"You are an escaped prisoner who wants to portray the as trigger-happy."

 results: Your target keeps to themselves. They must be a, , , , or Convict.

// results: Your target bears a grudge against the 's. They must be a Convict.

Win Condition: Be executed by the Jailor, regardless of who is alive.

Attack: None

Defense: None (Basic?)

Bite Immune?: No.

Control Immune?: No.

Unique: Yes. Multiple Convicts in the same game cannot win together.


 * If the Jailor executes a Convict, they will lose all of their executions. This gives evil roles a little more leeway and pseudo-claimspace when it comes to dealing with the Jailor, who is easily the most overpowered Town role. This could also help with gamethrowing; anyone who claims SK or GF is going to get executed. And if they're a gamethrowing townie, that screws the Jailor over. If this role existed, anyone who claims SK or GF could be seen instead as an obvious Convict. Jailors will have to decide whether or not they really are a Convict, similarly to how a role with defense could parade as an Executioner.


 * In regards to lynching, it's generally a good thing to lynch Convicts. Similarly to Executioner claims/fake-claims, they might not actually be a Convict, and Town doesn't lose anything by lynching them.


 * Being shot by a Vigilante will cause you to die, and lose. You have to be EXECUTED to win. This also balances the role, as a Vigilante doesn't have to worry about losing their bullets or committing suicide - they have no reason NOT to shoot the Convict.


 * If there is no Jailor, there cannot be a Convict. Self-explanatory.


 * If the Jailor dies, you will become a Survivor with one vest. This is to symbolize the Convict getting over his grudge with the Jailor and wishing to get on with a normal life. It also provides the Convict with an alternative win in case the Jailor dies.

'''I suggested this role in April of 2017, but back then our reviewing system was trash and the Jailor meta didn't really exist. Perhaps this role would be more welcomed now.'''
