Takeover Ability

[evander]

Hello,

Citizen isn't the best role. Doc and Cit are normally the most frequent roles I see drop out after immediately being assigned. One way to spice citizen up is a kind of rebirthing. Only available if the citizen is killed by a killing role. Maybe zombie is the best way to describe it.

The cit can chose to bite the person they desire and then part control their personality. So, they bite someone they rejoin the game and can talk using that persons moniker. They can either be helpful and continue the ruse the user may be holding up, or go in the opposite direction and start exclaiming loudly their role and who they are in collusion with. They do not have control over who they visit in the night or whatever unique action that person may own. They can only see what they are doing. Kind of like in a Being John Malkovic kind of way. The user that owned the character previous could still be able to talk too, so it would create a weird dual personality situation. Or just not let them talk at all, so you become the voice for another person.

This would bring a few new factors into the game. Who to believe, is it a lonely guy sitting at his pc pretending to be two people to frame someone else. Is the citizen going to play along with the role he has chosen to intercept. Is he telling the truth? Mafia being a game based on communication, truth, lies and who to pay attention to, this could be a telling factor.

Of course, this would only be if a citizen is killed by a killing role and doesn't leave the game immediately after. I think it would bring a new and interesting element to game play at least for a poor democratic citizen character helpless to live or die.

what you think

Also suggestion for survivor achievement:

Fatalist: Survive game without using 1 vest. (+25)

The point is Citizens are ordinary.
I like being a Citizen, it is a very underestimated role.
I consider biting as a joke.
Though suggestion for an achievement is a good one.
