Coming at you from a multi-user collaborative effort, the self-styled Role Patrol brings to you a final proposal to send off the recent work on the site that Lucid has brought us: the Cyborg Update! Named so because all six of these fantastic roles spiral directly out of a single role concept by The Article Formerly Known as Croned. With such breathtaking role icon art from everybody’s favorite homosexual Ben and Sandbox sweetheart Golbolco, and divine role concepts from The and JamalMarley, we present to you:

Neighbor

“My name is Rusty.”

• Can peer in through one person’s window at night (does not count as a visit.)
• Will see all actions taken upon them, but not who did them. “You peered into Golbolco’s window last night. They were investigated/healed/converted/received an item, etc.”
• The neighbor will not know the specifics of conversions or receiving items.
• Sided with the village.
• INTERACTION: Paranoid cops see the Neighbor as village.

The Neighbor is an investigative role that suits Main Lobby and Sandbox about equal. It can see use in nearly any setup and works best alongside other town PRs and mafia-aligned PRs.

Inventor

“Eureka!”

• Every night, will craft a hidden camera to be given to a player of their choice.
• The drone can be used to peer in through people’s windows at night and see what actions were taken upon them.
• Cameras run out of battery after one use.
• Sided with the village.

The Inventor can essentially give someone a temporary shot at being a Neighbor themselves, with the same drawback that all item-giving roles have: giving an investigative power to the mafia can become very risky for CCs. The Inventor would work in both Main and Sandbox equally.

Overseer

“I see all.”

• The Overseer can see all night actions as anonymous every night.
• Twice per game, the Overseer can choose to oversee all meetings at night.
• They can see an anonymous version of all night meetings, including what is said and who is targeted but cannot see which meetings the speech is from.
• All actions at night will be seen as anonymous votes.
• Wins if they are one of the last two standing.

This is a very meta role. It requires some skill to know how to game off of information. It could work well in Main but would probably see more use in Sandbox as there is more value to that kind of information in closed-role setups.

Cyborg

“Resistance is futile.”

• Starts with three charges.
• Receives a charge every time they receive a non-deadly town visit at night.
• Loses a charge each day, as well as if they are shot, stabbed, or attacked at night.
• Once per day, can choose to use a charge to convert another player into a Cyborg.
• All Cyborgs share a night meeting.
• Only dies when their charge count hits zero.
• Wins if the Cyborgs outnumber the town.

A converting role with a twist. It has to exchange life points to convert, which can put the Cyborg into a difficult position if they’re not getting enough visits.

Android

“Exterminate!”

• Starts with three charges.
• Receives a charge every time they receive a non-deadly town visit at night.
• Loses a charge each day, as well as if they are shot, stabbed or attacked at night.
• Once per day, can choose to use a charge to stun someone. Stunned players cannot speak and their vote will count as zero, and the cyborg is not revealed.
• Only dies when their charge count hits zero.
• Sided with the mafia.

One of the original ideas for the Cyborg role and the catalyst for this proposal, the Android is a unique “day hooker” with a heavy drawback. Its best use is in Main and would round out a town's rogue gallery very well in certain ranked setups.

Drone

“Buzz.”

• Can peer in through one person’s window at night (does not count as a visit.)
• Will see all actions taken upon them, but not who did them. “You peered into The’s window last night. They were investigated/healed/converted/received an item, etc.”
• The Drone will not know the specifics of conversions or receiving items.
• Sided with the mafia. Does not attend meetings.
• INTERACTION: Peeping at the Inventor’s window will kill the Drone and give the Inventor two cameras to give out the next night.

The Drone is a mafia-sided version of the Neighbor, obviously, though it arguably has much more use in CCs and manipulation of information. The Drone sees its best play in Main, arguably even more than the Neighbor

We hope you've enjoyed the content of this suggestion and (if you're reading this, Lucid) will consider adding it in whole or in part to the base Mafia game.
