Recruiter (Mafia Support)

Postby Lalur » Wed Aug 12, 2020 2:12 pm

Role Name:
Recruiter

Role Alignment:
Mafia Support

Abilities:
- During the day, you are able to pick someone to recruit as a mafia member.

Attributes:
Attack: None
Defense: None

Notifications:
(When selecting a player to be recruited) You have decided to recruit [player] tonight.
(When the player is being recruited at night.) The mafia wants you to join them! You are now speaking to the Recruiter.

Goal:
Kill anyone who will not submit to the Mafia.

Investigator Results:
Sheriff - Your target is suspicious!
Investigator - Your target could be a Sheriff, Executioner, Werewolf or Recruiter.
Consigliere - Your target scouts for people to join the mafia. They must be a Recruiter.

Mechanics:
A recruiter's ability only works if there is less than four mafia members. If the game starts with four, they must wait until a mafia member dies.
When there is less than four mafia members, the recruiter may choose to recruit someone during the day. That night, the selected player will be notified that they are being scouted to join the mafia, and the Recruiter will be able to speak to them and convince them to join the mafia.
The player being recruited will not be able to use their ability. They may select themselves to accept the request or do nothing to decline.
If the player declines, they will not be able to be recruited again.
If the player accepts they will join the mafia with a Random Mafia role.
After a player is recruited the Recruiter may not recruit anyone else.
If the player accepts and is killed the same night, then they will show up as their town role, and the Recruiter may recruit another player.

Additional Information:
Abilities will still work on a player if they are being recruited.

It is important for the Recruiter to not recruit often, because if a player declines they cannot be recruited again. As well as this, it is ideal that the first attempt at recruitment goes successfully, as that will ensure that it doesn't come out that there is a recruiter in the game.

conversion role no. this isnt throne of lies this will never happen besides as a role in custom games like vampires

the fact the person can refuse is bad it would be gamethrowing to accept a conversion because it goes against your current role

this role is just vampire mafia with a choice its boring

I'm pretty sure it's not gamethrowing considering becoming mafia is a route for the individual player to win. Just like how in endgame a town might ask to be bitten by vamps to win.

The problem is there are rules against this. You have to play to win as the role you are, not the role you have potential to be. Obviously this isn’t the case if town is demolished and you are begging Vamps to convert you. It goes the same for GA. You can’t push to have your target lynched and try to win as a surv. Because it’s gamethrowing.

Okay, you're right.
