If you read through, there have been a few other Hacker playstyle suggestions, I like a few of them.

This could work, but it should only be leaked to mafia members, as town will quickly alert their buddeys

hm.. +k for this

I endorse this idea.

i like it! plussed. please plus my role http://www.epicmafia.com/role/965

People spamming whispers wouldn't be an issue at all.

You can't see people when they self whisper, durr.

I like having only the hacker see the leaked whispers. Stops people from spamming whispers to see who's been hacked.

Well sure he could see whispers. Or you could just shut off whispers when making a setup. But no, making a role for it makes things hurrrrr, funnier.

Possible opposite of the Tabloid Reporter? (Sees Mason Meetings, or Cop Meetings, etc)

this is the shit

Hacker has a few different variations that people have suggested.

Nilla maf who sees all whispers.
Chooses players that will leak all whispers to/from

Could be either, could be both. (Both would make it worth having i think)

instead of leaking, hacker should just be the only one to see the whispers. its relatively useless though since people will just not whisper anyways.

I like it

You could create competitive setups that require people to claim/whisper.

Also what about game situations with whisper only?

Who knows

who whispers....

Interesting, though I think it's pretty useless in most setups.
You could easily avoid the leaking, by not whispering at all.

sure why not

I think the Hacker should be able to see only a certain number of whispers to/from the person, or this will render claiming useless.

No whispers for hacker will cause an easy hacker-test. Same as disguiser in whisper setups when not guising n1

Well the hacker should be able to see all the whispers but he can't whisper and participate in mafia meetings so then he wouldn't be able to comunicate the whispers to his fellow mafia. So yes If the hacker role was third party and mafia sided it would be great.1. No whispers function for hacker.2. Can see all Whispers 3. NO mafia meeting for hacker 4. Third party

+K'd, even though it does only apply to some setups.

Every role is trollable, that isn't valid at all.

Cop can lynch inno.
Doc can save noone.
etc etc

So easily troll-able.
Night:
Hacker: I'm hacking the BlueBob
*Hacks fellow Mafioso*
Mafioso: kk

Think of it this way, the hacker hacks the cop, and for some reason a pr whispers him.

The hacker hacks himself, and has buddies whisper him to make them seem like they are being hacked.

The idea of the hacker in the game will change gameplay just by his presence.

I'm not sure how to make this clever role more powerful without getting away from the original point, or making it OP
