Masonizer

Masonizer Alias: Mason Recruiter Alignment: any Role type: Communicative Investigative Choice: Night

A Masonizer is a player who can target other players at Night to attempt to recruit them into a Masonry. Anyone in that masonry is known to not be aligned with the Mafia, and thus a Masonizer may not recruit a Mafioso under any circumstance. They may begin speaking to each other at the end of the Night, or at the beginning of the next Night - it depends on whether the moderator allows the Masons to speak during the Day.

Masonizers are by definition pro-Town. They usually do not have any Masons at the beginning of the game.

Standard version

A Masonizer may attempt to recruit a player to a Masonry during the night. This recruitment will fail if the Masonizer targets someone who isn't aligned with the Town. Anyone successfully recruited by a Masonizer will be added to a Masonry, and be confirmed to be Town-aligned to everyone else in that Masonry.

Any players added to a Masonry are added at the start of the next day, regardless of whether the Masonizer lives or not, and their Role Name is not changed.

Variations

A Neighborizer recruits players to a Neighborhood. Anyone can be recruited to a Neighborhood by a Neighborizer.

Use & Balance

This role is usually Weak. A Masonizer without the Weak modifier effectively combines the best qualities of Cop, Friendly Neighbor, and Neighborizer.
