Role Suggestion: Infiltrator

deleteddeletedover 7 years ago

Sided with the village

  • During the Day, the Infiltrator will select someone to Infiltrate
  • The Infiltrator will disguise as them and attend their next meeting ^
  • The Infiltrator will not see the identity of anyone in the meeting
  • The Infiltrator can also use that person's actions for the night
  • If they choose to infiltrate a non-meeting role, nothing will occur.
  • Can only Infiltrate once per game.

Gameplay:

  • The standard goal of the Infiltrator will be to Infiltrate the Mafia & read the identities of the others in the meeting.
  • The Infiltrator can also convince others in the meeting not to kill a PR (sway the kill onto a blue instead)
  • Mafia could CC Infiltrator

seems OP at first glance, even if the action is unique per game.

-basically a detective for 90% of roles including mafia, since you know what meetings the person you infiltrate has.
-more than half of mafia roles can't do their night actions on their partner, so you can know who mafia is when you can't hook someone, etc.
-if theres 1 or 2 maf left, it can be used offensively forcing NK on maf, or doccing himself, or gunning himself...
There's no such thing as an OP role. Cop is OP but ur not gonna put 3 cops in 1 setup.

I thought this link was going to take me to the role: ncraw.

Such a disappointment

Yes but could not the mafia just guise test the infiltrator, because I doubt when an infiltration takes place you want a message like, "Someone has infiltrated your meeting!" (Then everyone's identity is hidden).

Or would it just consist of mafia not having their identities hidden (which could work like a guiser).

Idk I think making it completely anon for everybody could work, this is kinda a weird role to wrap your head around
A message doesn't appear though when an infiltration occurs. Mafia wont know.

Also, the role of the Infiltrator doesn't just rely on him being able to spy on Mafia meetings. Since he's also able to control the selected mafia's night action, he can (for example) infiltrate a hooker & then no-hook.

And if an infiltration fails, then the Infiltrator will know the player they selected isn't mafia / doesn't attend meetings.

Another idea is that, the infiltrator is able to see the identities of everyone in the meeting, but like a seer, if the last maf gets lynched & selects Infiltrator, town loses.

We already have Invisible Man, this feels like a mixed up version of IM.

Given that some feel IM is underpowered, maybe some of these ideas should go into tweaking it instead of making a new role entirely.
