Infiltrator [Mafia Support]

[Grakylan]

The Infiltrator/The Eavesdropper
(aka inf, infil, infilt, IT.)/(aka eaves, eav, eave, ED)
Mafia/Triad Support

You are an elite hacker who intercepts communications for organized crime syndicates.

You share win cons with Mafia/Triad.

Ability One: wiretapping:
You have one or two uses for this ability, depending on role options.
Night: Prepare the wiretaps for the morning using -wiretap or a button.
Day: intercept every personal message said during day. You don't know who is PMing who, and any number in the PM is replaced with #.

Ability Two: ECM Jamming
You only have one use of this ability.
Day: Prepare the ECM jammer using -ecm or a button.
Night: Now the spy won't be able to read the mafia chat for one night straight. He will just see blank with no notification of ECM jamming. The spy might still see the visits depending on role options. The spy will still see the godfather kill regardless.

Attributes
- When you run out of uses for both of your abilities, you become a Mafioso/Enforcer.
- Your fellow mafia/triad will be informed during daytime when the ECM jammer is being prepared. No one else will know.
- Your fellow mafia/triad will be informed again at night time when the ECM jammer is in effect.

Options:
- Can wiretap (once/twice) [Default: ONCE]
This option decides how many times the Infiltrator/Eavesdropper can wiretap.
- ECM jammer hides visits (yes/no) [Default: NO]
This option decides if the ECM jammer will hide who the other mafia roles visit. Godfather kills will NOT be hidden.

Spoiler : Example scenario :

this assumes that there are two wiretaps, and that the ECM hides visits.

Day 1, night 1, day 2
nothing relevant to the scenario

Night 2
"[You] is configuring the wiretaps." in mafia chat

Day 3
You are now reading every single PM. You see the following PMs:

[??>??] ??: I tried to shoot ## but he was immune.
[??>??] ??: hey dude i found out you are sheriff. Im investigator. Wanna team up? We will get # tonight.

So you deduce that a vigilante tried to shoot a double-digit guy and failed.
You also deduce that an investigator and a sheriff are teaming up to investigate a single-digit guy.

Night 3
"[You] is configuring the wiretaps." in mafia chat

Day 4
The mayor reveals.

You get to see what role claims are being thrown around. Not all of the PMs are to the mayor, but you can safely assume that a majority of them are.

But you notice this in particular:
[??>??] ??: spy n# # killed, ## and # visited n# ## killed got shot by vig but healed

So you prepare the ECM jammer. Your mafia mates, the Godfather and the Disguiser, see this message:

[You] is preparing an ECM jammer for the night!

The mayor ends up lynching an investigator claim, the same guy that found the sheriff. The sheriff is revealed to be 10.

Night 4

You are out of wiretaps.

First message to show up in mafia chat for the mafia is:
"The infiltrator/eavesdropper has deployed an ECM jammer. No one will be able to intercept our communications tonight."
Spy will not know that an ECM jammer is in effect. He will just see an empty chat and assume mafia are just staying silent.

So now yall discuss what to do next.

You know that the spy is a double-digit guy. There are three possible people with double digit numbers excluding the proven sheriff: 11, 14, 15.
You know exactly who the sheriff is. 10.

With the spy threat gone for the night, you and the mafia thoroughly discuss the plans for the rest of the game, such as the amount of bodyguard claims and the likely matches, knowing full well there will never be another chance for completely private communication.

All of you deduce that the spy is one of three people still alive. The godfather is coming to kill 11 tonight.
You tell the disguiser how 10 speaks, and tell him to copy the LW of the sheriff. The disguiser is coming to kill 10 tonight.
And you get ready to become a Mafioso in the morning now that both your wiretaps and your ECM are used up.

GF gets witched to 5.

Day 5.
You are now a mafioso.
4, the disguiser's first identity, is apparently killed by mafia but is cleaned. "10", his new identity, is sending the mayor a sheriff LW that shows you as innocent.
5 is dead. He was the Vig.

Mayor puts up 14.
14 claims spy on trial and reports that the mafia was a little bit talkative the first 3 nights but became dead silent night 4.
14 also claims that on night 4, all he saw was 11 dying to mafia. He didn't see 10 get disguised.
Mayor proclaims gulity and the town follows.
14 the Spy is mislynched.

Now mafia can freely speak the rest of the game without the ECM, which was only one-use.

So why should this role be added?

In the current meta, the Spy might be boring because he doesn't see what the mafia says most of the time. That's because he is VERY POWERFUL at suppressing the mafia chat. The Spy is such a Chadly role that even the thought of his presence makes mafia/triad shut up.
In the current meta, the Mayor and the Marshall can type a simple command to get a role call going without any hesitation from town. Veterans that slaughter a townie with a will pointing him out have a similar claim to legitimacy as town leader, and will similarly organize a role call.
And in the future, the Crier might get a day ability that could allow him to initate a role call. Depends on how this other thread goes. (What? How?)

So the Mafia can't communicate with eachother effectively because of the Spy, and Mayor/Marsh/Vet-led towns foster an information metagame that is heavily town-favored, since the Town (or atleast the leading player) knows a whole lot about what people are claiming and the mafia don't.

So I proposed this role so that the Mafia can similarly acquire information like a reverse Spy, and counter spy atleast for one night in order to atleast communicate the next couple moves much more bluntly, based on the new information that can be acquired from wiretaps and other sources, just so that no one is misunderstood.
