So a second cult, but its different because only one person can recruit, and they have to visit him.

I'm not against this idea.

[Slaol]

Disguiser disguises as Scam Artist, becomes Associate to dead Scam Artist. Lol

[MasterHe]

A role that isn't retarded or OP? +Rep. Would like to see this role in game.

OoO at its best.

This role represents how scammers can destroy the world

lol, it is what gave me the idea. Just visiting a scammer via email/site etc can make you an unwilling associate in a way.

I think it would be better if you tweaked it in a few ways.

- First, rename Scam Artist to Con Artist. It sounds a lot less cheesy.

- Second, the condition is that you pick a target AND your target targets you.

You could could add a setting that you are considered to have a perfect roleblock(which stops a killer from killing a roleblocker) on you target IF they target you as well. You would turn this off if you want the Con Artist to be careful how much attention they attract.

- Third, after you gain an associate, in the spirit of the pyramid scheme, the new person is the "Con Artist" who must recruit a new sucker into the pyramid and the original Con Artist loses all powers. They don't need any at that point because they have met their victory condition.

- Con Artists are Neutral Benign and only win if they successfully con another player.


So it would be summarized as...


Role: Con Artist

Alignment: Neutral Benign

Ability: Target one person a night. If they target you back, they may fall victim to your Pyramid scheme! Enjoy the fruits of your labor if successful.

Your convert will not know who you are and does not share in your victory

Options:

- Targets are considered Roleblocked when they also target you [on/off]
- Targets are considered Perfect Roleblocked when they also target you [on/off]

Crimes:

- Trespassing, similar result to framer or disguiser.

Achievements:

- The Long Con - Scam a member of the town and survive to the end of the game AND see your target fail to convert anyone.
