Another idea to throw out there. Lets say you have Cop and Miller in the set up. Your maf partner is a nilla.

You can force the cop to investigate your own mafia partner, to try and wifom him into thinking that he was forced to investigate the miller.

Forcing the fool to visit someone in a game with Watcher, (Perhaps Swindler only effects visiting roles), is an idea that hasn't been used yet.

I'm not looking for this role to replace the roles used in comp set up, just give an option for people to open the box they think inside of.

With a bus driver, you have to guess the intended target of a PR, and then hope that you're right.

Let's take away any killing roles from set up ideas for a moment. Swindler vs Orc could be interesting in a set up normally townsided.

Sending Cult/Masons to their death against the Samurai in a multi-faction game might force Samurai to claim and make town/mafia work together.

One thing that could be added, is that if the PR chooses "No One", then the effect is useless. This would give roles like the Orc incentive to actually pick no one at times, which is otherwise a pointless option.

Obviously this role wouldn't team up with stalker or Spy or what not, but I think it'll help bring lesser roles more activity, and could bring about creative set ups.

There should be an element of sacrifice on the part of this role - either shouldn't participate in mafia meetings, or should only be able to do it once, etc.

Just an overpowered driver. There's nothing townsided that can balance it out; why use it?

this role is awful, too cheap, and if anything should not participate in mafia meetings. horrible role, lucid. just horrible.

The role can force visiting roles to visit a selected person. So mafia could control a killer, control a vig, send cop to their kill target, send town visiting roles to a granny etc.

this is awful. it is essentially driver but worse. why lucid? we have role with 500+ likes, and you are making shitty roles that are in the negatives. OMG. lucid get a fucking brain.

I think this has potential. If you don't like it, don't create set ups with it.

You had a good streak going with Chef and Fab, then you had to make this.

This is different to the Driver. He doesn't put the targets effects on the first player. It's very powerful because it can essentially become a Hooker.

This does seem rather overpowered... If theres a killer, clockmaker, or vigilante, mafia effectively gets to kill twice per night

This seems like super op

Actually, this could be a really interesting role if done in the right set-ups...

This is a stupid role to make.

This is literally a shitty driver.

No. Driver changes two people, this literally picks the target. So if you know who cop is, you don't have to guess who he is investigating. You just choose who it is. Or force Vigi to shoot someone.

Isn't this the same as the driver? Stop making stupid roles, lucid.

this is exactly the mafia

What a fucking retarded decision. Elementalist/Vandalist should be built instead. Or even panda for god's sake.
