Role Name: Artificial Intelligence
Alignment: Neutral Benign/Misc
Game Size(s): Any, works better with more players.
Abilities: Constant Spy-Like hearing (Passive), Immune to night activities (Passive), Kills any/all Attacker (Killers who target him/her/it) at night (Passive), Doxing (Like Investigation. Checks anything and everything connected to the Human Global Network (Internet). May be exact-copy of Investigator, or could have its own results, to make its powers more realistic. Obvious things like Gasoline Purchases (BusDriver/Arsonist) would be discoverable, but mabye not people who dont have an E-Footprint or are good at hiding could be immune to Doxing), Disarm (Secondary, Requires Doxing Activated on Target First, Will remove weapons, impeach, outcast, etc etc, if possible, saves target from having to die), Promote (Active, Tetritary, requries Disarmed Person. Promotes a disarmed person to an Overwatch, the AI's Sub-Forces. Overwatch win with the AI and act as backup).
Win Condition: Establish a New World Order. Kill anything and everything that doesnt submit to the AI Empire. Victory conditions are catagorised, and are options (like checkboxes in SC2Mafia) for the Game Master. Catagories of people to kill are as follows: Faction Leaders (Default On), All Killing Roles (Default On), and Non-Logical (Anything otherworldly or otherwise inhuman, Default On)
Intended Purpose: Intended to become a powerful ally or very annoying enemy. For the role's player, Diplomacy and Honesty (Like a Survivor, a bit) or total Stealth and Deception will have to be used. For the role's opponets, a very difficult and wildcard problem is in play, which can ensure or destroy just about any plan.
Meta-Game Implications: Will be a very challenging aspect to a Town, causing them to pick between allies (or try their ability to convince/lie).For the Mafia, working with the AI is almost impossible, but a temporary alliance could decimate the town.For Neturals, it would likely be an unstable partnership, but could be a powerful alliance.
Possible Cons: Between the unique Killing/Visit desc (see Notes), and the inablity to easily hide as another role due to AI's very unique role, and the unusal win conditions, AI would be hard to play as, and easy to mess up as, yet very powerful. Will probably have to come clean and make some friends, which can turn out poorly (ex, town just lynches the AI, and values their fellow townies over AI, ruining the AI's attempt at Diplomacy)
One Sentence Summary: A Self-Aware Computer utilizing an implanted system in a Human Body, attempting to "repair" society...
Additional Notes: The effect of a non-killing act on the AI would cause an error like "you were almost attacked by lasers, but avoided them and left" would occur, with "you were anhiliated by hidden laser defenses" occuring to a killer, attempting to kill the AI. The killer would have a very unique death-desc the following day, ensuring the alert of all to the knowledge of an AI, making him very "known". The dificulty is finding him, not proving him, and finding him is far eaiser when you know to look for him. SHOULD NOT BE DUPLICATED IN ANY GAME, EVER. Doxing and Disarming could be useful to save people from having to die.
Role Name: Overwatch (Specialist Name, If Applicable)
Alignment: Pro-AI
Game Size(s): Bigger the Better.
Abilities: NightChat with AI-Forces (Passive), Info-Share with AI-Forces (Passive), [Specialist Ability] (If Applicable)
Win Conditions: Wins with the dawn of the AI-Empire
Intended Purpose: Created to be the AI's Createable Personel-Backup Troopers. Allows a fate alternate to Death for those who do not deserve it.
Meta-Game Implications: Would give the AI backup. Overwatch can inherite a specialist ability from his past occupation, if applicable. Gives the AI the way to resist diplomacy that will get him backstabed or betrayed.
Possible Cons: Can become a waste of the AI's time and power to create. Doesnt nessicarly have any useful powers. WILL DIE AT END OF NEXT NIGHT (Can still use ability) without AI, Metarch, or Officer (If Enlisted by Officer)
One Sentence Summary: An Agumented Human working as a Trooper for the AI.
Additional Notes: Inhertits Abilites/Titles List (what your specialist ability and title is):
Default for Killing Role: Overwatch Trooper (Can kill at Night)
Default for an Investigative Role: Overwatch Inquizitor (Can Investigate at Night)
Default for a Role-Blocking Role: Overwatch Negotiator (Can Role-Block at Night)
Default for a Medical Role: Overwatch Medic (Can Heal at Night)
Default for a Ranking/Manipulative Role: May become Overwatch Officer (Immune to Killing at Night. May take command of up to 3 Overwatch, and then can permanently order them arround, like a GF. Commanded Overwatch who are doing nothing gain Night Immunity, like Officer) [Chances for Officer are 70% Failure, even if your Former Class is the Correct Type]
Default for a Survivalist Role: Overwatch Preserver (Immune to any night activites, exactly like AI itself)
A Promoted Amnesaic chooses between the default Overwatches, even if he had chosen a role previously. Cannot become Medic, Preserver, or Officer.
Officer, Preserver, and Amnesiac all role 10% Chance for Metarch. Metarch is a Dormant AI-Copy. He appears to "be an Failed Overwatch in a Coma". Will wake-up when the current AI dies. Only one can exist at one point in time, so a metarch roll when a metarch is in play is an auto-fail. Metarch does not *become* the Alpha AI, thus limiting the Maxium Living Metarch at one time to One Metarch are not targetable when Comatose.
Please Review. It does sound OP, but it can easily become a unifier for just about everyone else. Overwatch take approximately 3 turns to create, and may yeild no helpful results, many roles default to basic Overwatch. AI can turn a simple game into an ALL VS AI, and there is little way for the AI to hide. Usually, the AI would have to either stay low until he cant be lynched, or appeal to the Town from the start, to bolster their power, while the town still has number odds in their favor. Easily, the whole town can just off the AI's fake head, but if they choose to work with him, the entire town could convert or just mutualy ignore the AI. The Mafia or a Netural Force could easily do the same, but it would be harder. If you dont read it, you cant review it, so dont waste your time.
