On the behalf of the Creative Masterminds, I present to you yet another creative role! This time it's a town-aligned role, which is usually rarely comes from suggesstions in those days!
Role name: Witness Protector
Description: An agent of the witness protection program, which goal is to protect witnesses by giving then new idenitity.
Alignment: Town/Advanced
Abilities: During a day, you can type "-protect player". That player will receive a message that a Witness Protector just asked him to join the protection program.
Special: If your target agrees to receive a protection, then once day is over, Witness Protector will receive his target's name and his target will receive Witness Protector's name - they will switch identities. Later in the game Withess Protector can also do the reverse - giving himself and his target original idenitites back, on the similar day requests. After getting his original identity back, Witness Protector may pick up a different target. Which means he cannot switch identities with someone if he doesn't have his own original name.
Goal: Help the town to win.
The primary purpose of Witness Protector is to protect identities or proved town roles, such as Sheriff, Jailor or Doctor. By risking his own life, he can switch names with power town player, which can allow that player to remain hidden even after he revealed himself already. The identity switch occurs before most night actions, so that Witness Protector can confuse Mafia. The downside of such protection is that everyone can be a vaild target for witness protection - including Mafia and other scum! And of course, whoever was switched will know who the Witness Protector is. Another thing: before any name switch happens, Witness Protector must hide his own identity from anyone else, no matter what. Otherwise the next person to die will be most likely the one with Witness Protector's original name.
Keep one thing in mind: The request from Witness Protector is anonymous, so you won't be able to find out who he is until you actually switch identities with him.
So? Care to accept the witness protection offer? Would you like to trade identities with someone else?
Also, as a matter of fact, I may "switch identities" with one of the members of the Creative Masterminds. Which means anything he posts will be actually MY post, and anything I post from now on will be THAT person's actual post. In a duration of 3 days, we could essentialy switch each other (through sending, receving and copy-pasting private messages from each other). Of course this DOES NOT affect our postings inside Forum Mafia. So, try to find me among one of the Creative Masterminds now! Good luck.
