Gas Leaker(Mafia Support); Counter to Jailor meta

Postby ANamelessOne » Thu Jul 14, 2022 5:00 am

Name:
Gas Leaker(any creative names?)

Alignment:
Mafia Support

Summary:
You are a reprobate plumber working for the Mafia(any suggestions?)

Attack: None
Defense: None
Unique: Yes/No(any suggestions?)
Priority: 1(highest)

Abilities:
Select a target at night to perform a gas leak at their house.

Attributes:
All players that visit gas leaked house, will not perform their action(just like if their target was jailed).
You may only perform 2 gas leaks.
You may only perform 1 of 2 leaks at the house of the mafia member.

Investigative Results:
Sheriff: Your target is Suspicious!
Investigator: Escort, Transporter, Consort, Hypnotist or Gas Leaker.
Consigilere/Witch: Your target has a smell of gas following them. They must be a Gas Leaker(any suggestions?)

Goal:
Kill anyone that will not submit to the Mafia.

Victory Conditions:
Wins with:
Mafia
Survivor
Witch

Must kill:
Town
Arsonist
Serial Killer
Werewolf
Vampires
Coven
Plaguebearer
Pestilence
Juggernaut

Notifications:
You have decided to create a gas leak at [target] house.
You have changed your mind.
You have instead decided to create a gas leak at [target] house.
Your target had a gas leak, so you decided to return home.
You had a gas leak at your house(should this message be present?).

Mechanics:
You will only neglect visiting abilities. For example, spy will not see his usual bug message, but will still see mafia visits. Your leaks do not prevent astral attacks or attacks performed by Pestilence, Horseman of the Apocalypse. Gas leak counts as visit, so you will be attacked by roles like Veteran, Werewolf, etc.

Achievements:
Plumber - 1 win.
Disruptor - 5 wins.
Harbinger Of Doom - 10 wins.
Gas King - 25 wins.
Saving Grace - Perform a gas leak at Jailor's house(achievable after the end of the game).
Open the Floodgates - Have a Pestilence visit a gas leaked house.
Altruist - Perform a gas leak at a Veteran's house.

Notes and Strategies:
This role can be used in many ways, but primarily to counter Jailor meta without putting Jailor at the risk or making TP/LO requests useless. For example, if Jailor comes out D1, you can perform a gas leak at their house, rendering the meta useless. Your cloud will however prevent killing roles from attacking Jailor. Another convenient use of gas leaks, is for deceiving investigative roles. For example, if you know that Giles Corey will be checked tonight, you can perform a gas leak at his house to make it look like you are buying another night for him. This role also can help you fill your fake will: Lookout N1 - 7(gas leaked).

First of all thank you for your feedback!

1) Wow, I actually thought that people would think it is too op. As per buff maybe it should have 3 leaks instead of 2?
2) Yes, these roles are very similar indeed, but I didnt know about Scarecrow. I actually tried to make Gas Leaker in such a way that it wont clear path for mafia, but will rather give protection and ruin meta combinations, but maybe it is just me. The main problem with Scarecrow in terms of Jailor meta is that there is no neutral spot in ranked role list(and 90% of Jailor meta happens in ranked).

yeah gas leaker is fine, it prevents jailor meta without making tplo useless forever, scarecrow does open path for mafia kill but it does need coordination for that
