Goo

Goo Alias: Gel Alignment: Survivor Town Cult Role type: Passive Choice: None Status: Historical

A Goo or Gel is a reflexive role that can selectively remove the powers, alignment, and lives of any role that targets it. It is often consider the most annoying role ever conceived. Goos are most often survivors, but in rare cases they have been town, scum and even cult.

Standard version

Most Goos do something to any player that targets them. Exactly what depends on the color of the Goo.

Variations

What the Goo does to other roles that target it is often dependent on its color.

• Rainbow Goo: Whenever a player targets you with an action, you do something random (anything any other color can do) to them.
• Orange Goo: You will steal the vote of anyone who targets you for the rest of the game.
• Brown Goo: You will steal the vote of anyone who targets you for the next game day.
• Green Goo: Whenever a player targets you with an action, they will become green goo and lose any powers they currently have. Their team doesn't change.
• Toxic Goo: Anyone who targets you with an ability will die of poison at the end of the next day.
• Black Goo: Whenever a player targets you with an action, they will join your cult as another black goo regardless of their original team.
• Red Goo: Whenever someone targets you with an action, they become a neighbor of you.
• Blue Goo: If you die or are eliminated, the player who kills you or casts the eliminating vote becomes blue goo themselves.
• Turquoise Goo: When you die, you can turn another player into Turquoise Goo.
• Purple Goo: Whenever someone targets you with an action, you switch roles with that player.
• Silver Goo: Whenever another player targets you with an action, you become a perfect copy of that player.
• White Goo: All dead players will turn to White Goo as they die. You show up as town on death.
• Grey Goo: You can target a player to turn them into more Grey Goo. Their team doesn't change. (This is the only non-reflexive goo.)
• Teal Goo: Anyone who targets you with an action will evolve to a new role.
• Gold Goo: Whenever someone targets you with a non-group action, they lose the ability to use that action and you gain it.
• Yellow Goo: Whenever someone targets you with an action, they lose the ability to use that action and you gain it. This even affects group actions. That member of the group can no longer perform that action. Other members of the group can still perform it

Use & Balance

You should never see this role in a Normal Game. Seeing one is a pretty big indication that you are playing a Bastard Game.

Play Advice

If you are cult, be annoying so people target you and end up joining you.

If you are town, act townie so scum targets you and gets screwed by your reflexive ability. Self hammer if eliminated as blue.

If you are scum, act scummy enough to draw the town power roles. Act townie enough to avoid getting eliminated, unless you are blue.

If you are survivor, act neutral to avoid getting targeted by kills. Your abilities should save you from other actions. Also eliminate the mod because seriously, they are a dick!
