New neutral benign role - Technician

[kyle1234513]

side - Neutral Benign
goal - survive until the end of the game

abilities - you have a vote of 2
have 1 bullet proof vest on/off - default off


doesnt do much early game, and voting early would be harmful to himself. but late game could be extremly clutch in who wins.

does not have a -vote reveal option. the stipulation is that his vote *always* counts for 2, at everything. and if he votes first its obvious. if hes voting during a bandwaggon he can blend in and reveal to the town that there is a technician but it would be limited to the group who voted a person up, or inno/guilty.

I don't like this, its basically a weakened Mayor that is a Neutral.

i think its great because it is neutral, swings any which way for the win

Neutrals are most likely to troll, so with an extra vote, thats just more trolling. Its a combo of Survivor and Mayor, and I don't see any impact on the game at all.

That is not what neutral benigns should do. It is a part of why Amnesiac really doesn't fit into Benign.
Jester is random and gives scum a place to hide
Executioner should never be built to guarantee town and gives scum a way to disregard investigation
Survivor is as neutral as they come and gives scum a reason to lurk
Amnesiac picks a firm side and gives a huge buff to that side, as well as not giving any real defense to scum, and being semi-confirm-able.

This thing would be a confirm-able neutral that would dictate way too much of the game when in game, we already have that.. we call it Amnesiac.

and whats he gunna do early game? throw himself under the bus revealing im the technician, jailor/vigi come kill me, town lynch me cuz i side with anyone?
survivor is worse than this because hes immune to mafia kills forcing maf to target a townie over a swing neutral. town would bandwaggon asap, moreso than the obvious executioner on day 2 claim.

if you dont think he should have the 1 vest for when hes an obv night time target then well just make it the 2 vote no vest.
