New Role: Stalker

[CardiffKilla]

Role Name: Stalker
Description: You are a deranged, but deadly individual who likes to follow others.

Alignment: Neutral - Killing

Actions: At night by using the 'Follow' command on another player, you will kill that player's target. If your target's target is yourself then you will kill your target.

Benefits: Another type of neutral killing role. It would be fun to be this role and to tactically select your targets.

Switches:
Invulnerable at night = ON / OFF

Role Mechanics:
If following a witch, the Stalker will attack the Witch's target.
If following a Busdriver the Stalker will attack the Busdriver's Secondary target.
If following a role that visits nobody the Stalker will attack his target.
If witched or Busdriven to follow himself, the Stalker will attack himself.
If tracked by a detective, the Stalker will be seen visiting his target, and not his target's target.

wow, I really really like this role! how about invest pairing and stuff?

got my full support though, +1!

[RLVG]

So, since you're the rolemaker - tell us how this would happen :

Busdriver switches your position and the target of the busdriver with another busdriver, leading to a parallelle loop with a witch making X visit Z so that there's the Targets-Targets-Targets-Target?

Random as it sounds, but if that occurs - who would be the initial target?

Would be fun if everyone involved were suddenly killed.



I support the role, but I'm thinking of the targeting system when it's becoming rather "killed" by the target changes.

this sounds like a debuffed Mass Murderer

What happens if he follows a target who stays at home? Will he fap at his window?

Yes, and then he will kill him/her

Or perhaps an opturnity to stage a Suicide message, giving WIFOM that there could be a witch living.

See that role can fail followers work and make him look like killing one, if Detective sees that, make Stalker detective immune and loner alignment , and it will work.

[Ekkeh]

I like the idea.
I'd say he shouldn't kill people that stay at home. Because the advantage he has over a serial killer is that he cant be detected by lookout/detective (atleast i presume a detective would see him going to the house of his target, not his target's target.

Idk...I think mass murder does a good enough job with that.

The Stalker will attack his target's target, not the visitors of his target like the MM does.

Thanks Ekkeh. I've updated the role mechanics. The SK does have the advantage of choosing who to kill outright, so I'll allow the Stalker some leniency with Detectives and Lookouts.

I'm glad some of you like my suggestion.

Butcher. Suggested a few weeks ago. Cardiffkilla, your suggestions are all decent to good, but just lead me to realize that basically everything that can be thought of has been. lol.

[CardiffKilla]

I've copied nothing. I apologise if my ideas have already been mentioned but I have no access to those records. Thank you Slaol.

Well seeing as he has joined in Oct 2011 i doubt he is a smurf, and he can't see the R&D so idk...

I don't think you copied. I found dozens of ideas in R&D that I also came up with myself with no exterior suggestion. There are only so many directions to go.

He is just going through the process of coming up with the ideas that I think we all went over once or twice in our heads. I am sure he will find some gold at some point.

Yeah, theres a similar thought pattern or process users tend to take when coming up with new roles.

I can safely confirm, that this guy isn't my SMURF.

As mentioned before, just about everything possible in Mafia has already been made, meaning that the only mechanics left are the extremely complex ones.

I think there are plenty of things that don't exist that aren't all that complex. Sleuth? But most of them just won't have effects enough worth implementing, and as such are moved on from.
