Witch doc prevents cultist conversion

night 3 - we went to save and convert (to make sure we will convert that guy in case of attack).
nothing happened, no feedback to anyone

That seems like a bug to me. Your target was a sheriff and the doctor that was left alive healed some one else. My guess would be that the witch doctor somehow prevents his own members from converting the target.

i thought about it, but what about the feedback? shouldn't the witch doctor get feedback?
and shouldn't the target get feedback? "you were saved from cult" or something

Targets never get the message that they are saved against a cultist conversion. So that makes sense. The only way I see it happening is if a Mason (/leader) gets saved by a cultist that he would get a 'saved by a witch doctor message' though that probably shouldn't be implemented. In the save you attached, the witch doctor saved a Mason from being killed by the Serial killer but he did not know it was a Witch Doctor. He was probably to dead to realize he was a cultist when saved. Can't blame the guy getting a bit confused after nearly dying right?

It's the a valid question about the conversion
Sheriff get visited by: Cultist and Witch Doctor only, still did not get converted into a cultist. Why is that? Seems like something needs to be fixed about that.

Doc healing prevents Cultist conversion in that setup. I assume the option also concerns the Witch Doc. Technically, the WD has 2 night actions: He heals before the attacks occur, and he converts at the end of the night if successful.
The WD doesn't get the Doc you-prevented-a-conversion feedback though.

A Witch Doctor is not a regular Doctor. A Witch Doctor should not prevent conversion. If Cult thinks some one must be converted at all costs it should be a legit strategy to try to save and convert or just convert a target to have a pretty much guaranteed way of getting that person into the Cult.

The way it is now, you need to either convert some one, hoping they don't die or save him and hope he gets attacked. You can't put all eggs in the same basket cause it will overload and fail to convert. This cannot be intentional. Right, right?

A Witch Doctor should notice that his target is not attacked but being converted and should let that happen. It's in his own interest that let his target get converted.
