Which roles deserve alignment swaps

over 5 years

While Lucid is gone, I'm going to start making a few lists of stuff for him to investigate once he gets back. To start, let's talk about sl0nderman's least favorite kind of role: alignment swapped roles.

What roles, new or old, deserve to have alignment-swapped counterparts? A lot of the new roles have been village and could use some mafia versions. What about the vice-versa of that? What about the rare third-party alignment swap?

I'll start: I think Monkey and Jailkeep could both use mafia versions.

Do you like alignment swaps?

Just a repost of these "liability roles" I had in mind:

Defiler/Necromancer
- Every night, has to drain a fellow mafia member's soul.
- Drained member will be unable to take any actions that night.
- If defiler is left with no mafia partners, it dies.
- Sided with the mafia.

Lecher
- Is assigned to one mafia member to be their illicit lover.
- If lynched, calls out the name of their illicit lover.
- Sided with the mafia.

Mafia-sided treestump has the same problems as mafia-sides celebrity: why is anyone going to trust you?

Conceivably, crier has the same issue. Maybe someone can justify these two swaps though, because after all: people still trust agent and spy when they’re in games together, don’t they?

Maf-sided anarchist: nihilist, agitator, terrorist (if it wasn't already taken), instigator, insurgent, fanatic, and so on

Probably doesn't go to maf meetings

Gives someone a bomb every night. The bomb blows up at a random time interval, killing town and thirds like usual, but either revealing mafia members (like anarchist) or not killing them (like associate).

or by giving him a fab gun like a pro teammate would do

Bomb is a great role and while there could be a maf-sided bomb you could just make it so terrorist will blow up whoever kills/shoots them and the only safe way to kill him is with a knife or lynch

i agree with rigby, there should definitely be "liability roles" that are mafia-sided

I see your tree and town crier and raise you... anything but those two roles. And also, perish.

A maf-sided monkey could be called a plagiarist. Mafia jailkeep could be called an abductor.
Monkey sided maf might be too strong
