Lore:
- You are an obsessed man with at particular interest in dolls.

- The Decoy had always loved playing with dolls. Ever since he was young, he was fascinated with small action figures, figurines, and puppets. His friends always laughed at him whenever he brought it up. As he became older, everyone started avoiding him for his childish obsession with his toys. He became the social outcast of the town. After becoming deeply saddened that nobody shared his interest, he sought after more accepting groups of people for his interests. He searched far and wide, up and down, yet, he found nobody who accepted him. That is, until one day he met the Godfather.
"Good evening, I've been expecting you."
"H-Hello sir, I'm Decoy-"
"Yes, yes, I know who you are."
The Godfather sat in his wooden chair.
"W-Well see here, I'm not what everyone says I am! I just think dolls are..very interesting.."
The Godfather smiled.
"Indeed, they are most intriguing."
"Y-You think so?"
"I do. I see lots of potential in them"
The Decoy looked confused
"How so?"
"Come with me."
The Godfather stood up and walked out, the Decoy followed close behind. The two of them walked towards a bar.
"W-Where are we going?"
"Don't worry, you're gonna meet some of my ol' pals. They're gonna love ya."
They approached a bar near the edge of town. The place seemed to be well maintained, but nearly nobody was nearby, and nobody else was being allowed in. As the two walked inside, a somewhat large group of people, who seemingly had disappeared from the town years ago were waiting there.
"Ah, Godfather, you've returned. Is this him?" Asked one of the men. They were seemingly the Godfather's most loyal subject, he must have been the mafioso.
"Yes, he is the Decoy, he will be joining us."
"J-Joining you? You'd let me be with you guys?"
"It's not like you have a choice" The mafioso said.
"We're heading to Salem with Mafioso and Janitor, would you like to come with us?"
"That'd...Yes, yes I would."

This seems like it would be very useful for mafia, though I do think that it should not tell ti that it was a decoy (maybe give bs results like innocent as a decoy cant really do anything suspicious) and it should also allow the decoy to tell the target that they were 'transed'

Well that would probably make the decoy too powerful as it could be used to cover up for mafia. The intended purpose was for it to prevent visits to a target, not deceive TIs, but this could be a possible change depending on more feedback.
I like the "transported" idea, it would be a good mechanic but it wouldn't make much sense. Depends on the feedback everyone gives

[Brilliand]

The Mafia will not visit the decoy.

So this role negates all TPs for a guaranteed kill? Overpowered. Badly so.

Of course, if it redirected Mafia visits too, it would be underpowered.

[lemonader666]

I've never really seen one-way transporter as something superior to transporter. Making transporter a mafia role instead would probably achieve this role's purpose much better.

[cob709]

This role is not a one-way transporter. It just cancels all town visits against their target.

Oh so like a rolestopper? That description sounds identical to TG's Stalker then, which I think makes more sense as an NE since that's a very powerful ability

[cob709]

TG Stalker? Can you give me a link?

The Decoy is supposed to be a role that stops all non-mafia visits.

Love it. But you won't find much support because ToS fanbase is ridiculously conservative against any actually creative idea.
They don't even support the possibility of interesting stuff like this being tested on a seperate game mode.

Fun fact: we rejected your role because it was bad
Fun Fact: this role is good

[JacksonVirgo]

I actually support this role more than the recent mafioso change that has been discussed. Mafioso should either be removed or work similarly to the FM one.

EDIT: Not even gonna lie, if they remove Disguiser they should add this role and change the name to Disguiser it would fit so well lol

This is off-topic and I would recommend dropping this, thank you.

You'd be better off not mentioning priority at all. It isn't clear what you mean by it, especially since you didn't put "Roleblock Immunity".
