Neutral · Evil

Win condition: Town must lose

Description

A corrupted elected official. At the trial your vote secretly counts as 2.

Lore

Promises made, promises broken - but the vote always counts.

Abilities & traits

  • While you are alive, all votes are anonymous - no one can see who voted for whom (Online & narrated mode) - Votes are hidden from all players while you are alive
  • Once per game, condemn a player on trial - During a trial you can cast a Condemn vote, which forces a guilty verdict. Nobody is told. It is used up when the vote closes

How to play

At the trial your vote counts as 2, which makes you the swing on every verdict. Sending someone to trial and skipping the day each cost you a single vote, so your weight arrives only at the moment a life is decided. You win only if the Town loses - you are not on its side, however you vote. While you are alive, all vote attributions are hidden from other players, so no one can deduce who has the double vote. Use it strategically - offer it as a bargaining chip, or swing a close verdict in your favor. In person, decide with the moderator whether your vote always counts double at the verdict, or agree on a secret gesture to activate it selectively, and on a signal for your Condemn.
