Wannabe (Neutral Unknown) - 350+ Views!!
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2016 4:32 pm
DISCLAIMER: Before you comment, please please please read this thread completely.
Role:
Wannabe
Alignment:
Neutral Unknown
Neutral Unknown is an alignment that cannot be put in a game, like the current Neutral Chaos. This means that the only way roles from Neutral Unknown will be in the game in Ranked is through the Any spot. This keeps the role's presence unknown. Neutral Unknown consists of Vampires (Neutral Chaos is removed) and Wannabes.
Role Card:
Summary:
An aspiring criminal rejected from the Mafia.
Abilities:
Disguise as another player to protect yourself from investigators.
Attributes:
The current Leader is <player name>.
If the Mafia is eliminated, you will commit suicide the next night.
You cannot be killed by the Mafia at night.
Goal:
Survive to see Mafia win the game.
Win Conditions:
Wins with:
Mafia, Witches, Survivors
Must kill:
Town, Serial Killers, Arsonists, Werewolves, Vampires. You may spare anyone else.
Specials:
Unique role
Mafia kill immune
Bite immune
Investigative Results:
Investigator (v2.1 of orange's results) - Your target stalks people. He must be a Lookout, Forger, Wannabe or Amnesiac.
Consigliere: Your target stalks the Mafia. He must be a Wannabe.
Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia.
Additional Information:
The 'Leader of the Mafia' is the Godfather. If there is no Godfather, the Leader is the current Mafioso.
If the Mafia wins and you are alive, their win will be turned into a loss, and the end game message will read: "Wannabe Wins". For this reason, Mafia must kill you to win.
If the Godfather dies, you will get the name of the new Leader the next night.
Disguising as someone only affects Investigator, Consigliere and Sheriff results. Should you die that night, you will still revealed as Wannabe.
The investigative results shown above will only be seen if you don't disguise that night, or a Witch or Transporter makes him disguise himself.
I really like this role as it's simple to understand but much more complex to play and win as. You need to help the Mafia to win, but at the same time, if the Mafia finds out who you are, they will try and get you lynched.
Messages:
When Mafia attacks the Wannabe, they get the 'target is immune' message.
"The Leader of the Mafia has died!" - When the current GF/Mafioso dies at night
"After stalking the Mafia, you have found the new Leader, <player name>." - When there is a new GF/Mafioso.
"The Mafia has been eliminated and you have committed suicide over the guilt! You have died!" - The night after the final Mafia dies.
"<player name> died last night. He died of guilt." - Public death message if you commit suicide.
"You have decided to disguise as <player name> tonight." - When disguising
Achievements:
This Is What You Get: Win your first game as Wannabe
Shouldn't Have Rejected Me: Win 5 games as Wannabe
I Could Have Helped You: Win 10 games as Wannabe
Reject Me Again, I Dare You: Win 25 games as Wannabe
That's How It Should Be: Disguise as a member of the Mafia
You Got Fooled: Successfully save yourself from a Sheriff, Investigator, or Consigliere
Can't Kill Me: Be targeted by the Mafia
Mistakes Were Made: Vote guilty on the final Mafia
No Point In Staying: Commit suicide after Mafia is eliminated
What's The Point: Disguise as yourself
Strategy:
Wannabes can pretend to be Survivors or Won Executioners, to ensure their survival to the end of the game. This also helps them defend themselves if a Mafia death note calls them out for being immune.
If a Survivor/Executioner claim is leading towards the Mafia's side too much, even though siding with another faction would be a better choice, Mafia need to be careful and try and maybe get them lynched.
But anyone too keen on lynching a Survivor claim without a Werewolf in the game, may be accused as Mafia trying to lynch a Wannabe.
In addition, the longer the Wannabe is alive, the longer he can support the Mafia. If the Mafia know what they're doing, they can keep the Wannabe alive to gain an extra vote, but then lynch him right at the end.
Jesters can actually act like a Wannabe to get lynched in the endgame. Mafia must be wary about this.
As a Wannabe, try to disguise as the role you are claiming to be, or a role that appears on the same Investigator result. For example, as an Executioner claim you want to disguise as an Executioner, but if you don't know who he is, disguising as a Sheriff has the exact same effect (except for a Consigliere).
You may want to disguise as a Mafia ally in the endgame, for example a Witch, if you know they have a Consigliere. This can gain their trust and they may not see the Wannabe win coming.
As an investigative, if you are unsure of the results of a player, investigate them again the next night. However this may waste a night, and the Wannabe can disguise as the same person again if they want to.
Well this is my first role idea, and I hope you like it
Here's how you can help!
When giving your feedback, please take some time to help me by considering these points:
What are your opinions on the disguise ability
Currently this role is quite underpowered. If you can think of balanced ways to make this role easier to win as, that would be great.
Please think carefully before posting. I do not appreciate hate comments that are only one line long. Please put some thought into your comment, thoroughly explaining what you think it's wrong with the role, and perhaps suggesting a fix. Thank you.
Thanks
