Name: Redactor
Alignment: Mafia
Ability: Every night, the redactor can select three posts from any point in the game. They can then permanently black out parts of the post. Last wills can also be redacted, with each last will counting as one post.

Definitely a weaker role though, best used for flavour in setups where it can replace a simple Gunner/Mafioso.

Can they simply make it three sentences or words? Three "parts" isn't specific enough for me.

Yes a reason for people to copy and paste 50 pages of posts into notepad!

Yeah, that's my only problem with this role. It's kind of easy to work around. Being able to mess with last wills is interesting though, if you made it something like messing with last wills and death notes, I think that could be pretty fun and would make it a little more powerful.

Edit: I should clarify, I meant messing with them before they get released. Otherwise it's still the same problem of everyone just saving everything anyway and rendering him useless.

They can block out as much or as little of the post as they want.

As for the workaround, don't forget that people could also alter the posts that they have recorded, adding another layer of complexity.

I really wish that when you edit a post it wouldn't show up as 'Edited on...'

Because an addendum to this role could have been 'Can change a name in a post to another name'. If it could be done without it showing up as edited, well, imagine someone going back over the posts and thinking 'Hmm, he defended the really scummy player just before we lynched him, suspicious' etc.

It's possible to do this, actually.

Might be UP, but I don't know, and it looks like a lot of fun.
