make this a one-shot mafia role. mafia, once per game, can infect a member of the town with sickness. that way the starting sick isn't always blue

I think we should just go with your role icon =]

Pandemic?

A Cootie related name might be interesting but I'm growing on it being called Sickly as a final name anyway

Loving all the new suggestions here, the message to show you will be Sickly is a great idea! :D I think he should be town-sided still, there are roles like "Unpopular Kid" and "John" which people like and seem to be detrimental to town but it's not their fault either, you can't help being sick or not as good at something and I think that message should shine through epicmafia blah blah blah I just really want a role that fucks with town and mafia and third parties ehehe

I guess this is really anti-town, so maybe he can be third party, but wins if town wins, but for the sake of "blue with an illness" I think town-sided makes more sense.

The only way for PR to know if he has been infected is by a game message on the day following the night visit.

So TL;DR, infected doesn't know he's infected until D2, with the change of icon + game message "You don't feel so well..." Or something.
While visitors will get sick immediately the day following the visit and will get a message.

Other way to do it is by converting the PR to infected, but that might work less well.

What do you guys think?

How will a PR know if they're infected? If it's through icon it might confuse some people... Good idea though. Then again, it could be a third party type thing instead. Tell me if I'm interpreting this wrong, but if someone dies from sickness, and their role shows up as Sickly, then it's pretty anti-town.

I like Infected

Edited: Changed death from end of D2 to end of N2, so Doc has a chance to save.

http://www.epicmafia.com/role/6964 also check out this role i made and give some constructive feedback on it please.

well with this role the doctor will have to find the infected or diseased quickly or else any town pr that visits will be infected that includes the jailer if he decides to kill or a cop tracker, fool. and the doc can't save everyone while also trying to save any known town prs. If its village sided the diseased will have to claim immediately its almost like having an orc. the mafia won't be able to cc this role because its due to die in a day.

Really adds a sense of morality to the game

A possible scenario I can see with doc being able to cure infection.

Cop visits sickly N1, D1 passes, D2 sickly is revealed (through self-claim), and cop is forced to out, so doc can save. Could be really interesting actually.

Wow, I feel that is an amazing suggestion!! Totally adds a whole new dimension to this. I support that idea. (Will wait to see what others have to say first before I update)

I like the idea of Doc curing sickness if that would be possible. Agree with Lynch that Sickly means no harm too, please ignore my icon suggestion btw I didn't really know how big to make it so it's too hard to see.

It would be cool if doc could cure sickness maybe? Idk but i like the idea. Also how about Diseased for a better name? c:

Ramos08 mentioned how this role is a hindrance to town, and should be more of a third party.

I view the Sickly as a villager that has no ill-intents, and reluctantly messes with town, similar to how a Miller does.

EVE-Coli, Bubonic Dave, Polio Pete(/Paul), Fionna Flu...

Hello again!

Thanks for listening (and deleting) suggestions haha :D Upvoting it again and will just repost my current name suggestions, see if public likes any or have their own suggestions.

Welcoming suggestions for a better name. Infected? Plagued? Let me know!

Here's a screenshot of the previous discussion.
