New Unique Role! Officer

[SourySoury]

I'm not really good at this but I hope you get the idea of what I am saying.

Role name: Officer / Policeman / FBI Agent
Description: A law enforcement officer sent by a nearby city to aid the town
Alignment: Town
Abilities: The officer can only use his ability at day by typing -Arrest (he can only do it in the discussion period) then he chooses
one player to arrest. At this point the game stops and announce to the players that Bob is arresting Pop. (this happens as soon as you choose your target)
Pops role will be will be revealed to every one, if he is Mafia,SK,arso he will get immediate execution and the day will end there.

If pop roles is town, he will get immunity the next night and the officer instead will get killed with charges that he is corrupted and working to bring down town

Options can be made that the role can only be revealed if the arrested player is a bad role.
The officer is limited to 1 arrest no options to add more, if his arrest is a success he will turn into a Retired civilian with nothing special really maybe you guys can think of some thing.

sorry if this is posted b4 if not tell me what u think :d

ps: i think options to add more is too OP after one arrest every one knows who you are any way so i think its best to be citizen
ps2: Making the officer die if false accusation will ensure that people will think more other than using the ability to random

its kinda like jailor

[SourySoury]

how so ? its nothing like the jailor

[The wolfman 32]

you arrest(jail) someone to be executed(unless its town) the only real difference is that ur killed i town,and u reveal u and ur targets role

[SourySoury]

Please read carefully

This role is too punishing and doesn't bring alot to the game of mafia.

[SourySoury]

what can be done to improve it? i really don't think hes like the jailor if i did i wouldn't have posted it

[Auckmid]

I do think it has some paralels to Jaior, but i like it

[SourySoury]

ty

I think it adds some thing new to the game when you use your ability your character moves to the arrested player and arrest him ^^

I do not think people will use him as a main role unless they really like him (ido) but its nice if you got him in random or adv town

[SilentShadow]

Perosnally I kind of liked this one. Sure it has some similarities to jailor, but think about it. There is a 2v2 or 3v3 of town vs mafia or town vs 2 maf + witch, and they can't do anything. This guy comes along and he CAN do something. Then he becomes citizen and if he is the last one left as cit in the 1v1 that could be outcome, he can win the game for town. He can have his purpose nad I feel it would be an interesting addition to the game.

all these reasons are true i was just pointing out its like jailor, and i like this one

[AscendedOne]

Theres absolutely NO reason to add this role. It adds NOTHING to the game and is very boring.

[Auckmid]

Its no more boring then Mayor in the sence that it can win games for town by bringing matters into his own hands and lynching Mafia, even when at a minority.

[AscendedOne]

Well there ya go, it can't be added cuz its too similar to mayor..... also its lame.

[SourySoury]

I have no idea how can you compare him to mayor its like comparing the sheriff to a serial killer. there is a lot of unpopular roles in game, for example
the corner i have never seen him used in any game but he still exist.

I don't understand your hate ^^ maybe say why you do not like the role? you can just not include him in your setup if you think he is totally useless

[AscendedOne]

I'm not implying hes useless, im implying he doesn't add anything to the game.

[Clawtrocity]

There are about 20 solid roles that are listed on the site so far that Dark hasn't even taken into consideration. There are about 5-6 roles he's working on at the moment and he only planned about 36 total. He's getting very close to that mark and if a new role is going to be added it needs to be A LOT different.

This role is a Mayor/Jailor hybrid that can swing the vote too much. He has the strength of the Jailor in that he can execute anyone he wants. He can't guess wrong. He can use his ability the same day as a lynch. He reveals his role.

It's an overpowered Mayor/Jailor hybrid that just seems unnecessary for the game. We need less roles that are dependent on no one other than yourself and more roles based on putting your trust into another player.

[vampiredelavega]

Its not bad at first i thought it was too strong but getting killed if you arrest the wrong person and only making it usable once seems to balance it out.

[Pansy]

Well there ya go, it can't be added cuz its too similar to mayor..... also its lame.

How is it lame?

This is kind of similar to the jailor except for the fact, you arent limitted to only jailing if nobody is lynched, except your consequences are huge if you are wrong.

Anyways investigater is like a sherrif, but are they both good and unique? Yes, same with detective and lookout. I dont see any lameness in it at all.

[AscendedOne]

Whatever I don't need to argue against a role that obviously wont be added.

[AdmiralCain]

I really like this role. It's an interesting town power role, with the ability to save the day, but for once, it comes with a punishment for random abuse of the power! I would like to see the power role punished once in a while for bad judgment or random decisionmaking--jailers and viges only punish other, innocent people when they exercise bad judgment or random killing.

The Jailor and Vigilante both do punish themselves by random killing. If you shoot or execute wrong then you could very easily cost the town the game. Even the Mayor if voting wrong can cost the town the game in many circumstances and he doesn't even get to guarantee a kill on people. Penaltys that kill off two town roles, such as this officer dying if he's wrong, would just hurt the town even more. Sure the vigi killing a Doctor is bad. But if he also died after the Doctor then that's two town roles that you just lost. Considering a group of 8 town 3 mafia 3 neutral, you are losing 25% of your team if both town roles die for a mistake that anybody could make. Sometimes that Doctor is just reallly suspicious.

[SourySoury]

If the person arrested was town he will not get killed if you read what i said

This is clearly not enough punishment, becaues many people still random kill. What I meant is that I want the to see person abusing the power role to be personally, directly punished, not just indirectly punished through worse game odds (which is a punishment shared by all townies, including dead ones)--while an innocent townie is directly punished with death for the jailer/vig's stupidity and has to sit out the remainder of the game, unable to help, and the jailer/vig just gets to think "oops, my bad" and often times won't even admit the kill to the angry town. For once I would like to see a power-tripping, random-killing townie directly punished for abuse of the killing power, rather than just getting other townies punished. A random-shooting vig can be as bad as a serial killer, and a lot of townies (especially pubs) need to learn to use their brains when using their powers.

I understand that DR is busy and have other stuff to do, but if your not even considering any role then the suggestion forum is not needed.

He's getting very close to that mark and if a new role is going to be added it needs to be A LOT different.

The role is different, there is no other role that will get you killed by making a bad choice

It's an overpowered Mayor/Jailor hybrid that just seems unnecessary for the game. We need less roles that are dependent on no one other than yourself and more roles based on putting your trust into another player.

This role is far from depending only on your self, if you depend only on your self you will only be 100% randoming, as mentioned before it can be really helpful is some situations, when mafia out numbers the town or so. this is where the role looks a lot like mayor, but in some games 2-vote mayor is not enough to bring down any one.
I have been in games where mayor can 4vote and he just troll the game and mafia keeps him alive because he is killing town. this sort of power is annoying and with 0 punishment. and i see every 5-6 games

But if you really think that he brings absolutely nothing to game, well then i had to try ;D

sorry for horrible grammar

[Wydrah]

It makes the town overpowered.

Mayor is self-confirming, Vigs can night kill, Jailor can execute, and now you want another town role that can self-confirm and kill at the same time?
