The Taxi Driver
[Power - Advanced]

"You are an unfortunate Taxi Driver stuck with the night shift"

The Taxi Driver is power role, with the ability to swap the targets of his targets. Like a Bus Driver, the Taxi Driver has the power to misdirect his targets.

"Your target target spends the night with people"
"Not suspicious"


Swap Targets

Select two players at night and switch their targets.

(Y/N) Can target self
Can swap (2/4) times. Unlimited if unchecked
(Y/N) Ignore night immunity
If the Taxi Driver swaps the target of a killing role with its target, the killing role will receive a "hit by a Car" death
Witches and Bus Drivers will affect the Taxi Driver's first target
Swapping two targets does not result in a Visit, and will not trigger Lookouts and Veterans
Despite the rule above, Detectives will still see both targets
Targets without night abilities will visit the target, similar to how a Witch can a Mayor to visit a Veteran



If this role was ever implemented, a giant question would arise.

There is a Witch, a Bus Driver, and a Taxi Driver, branded as X, Y and Z respectively. Additionally, there is a Troll Consort, as L.

L = Z
X = Y > Z
Y = Y <> X
Z = L <> Y

"=" indicates the initial target, ">" indicates the secondary action and whom they visited, and "<>" indicates a switch.

Let the mind-fuck begin.

So this is basically a witch whom can use his ability twice in one night?

The Witch can force a single target to target another person by their choice. The Taxi Driver can select two players, and make them trade targets.

In the complexity meter, the Taxi Driver sits right after the Witch, and right before the Bus Driver.

This is going to seriously kill the brain of the pub.
Good role, but i wouldn't recommend it in a public game :)
