The Janitor is an anti-Town role who "cleans up the body" after its kill, thus preventing players from learning anything about the player when they flip. At daybreak, it is simply said that the player died with no information about their role or their alignment.

Usually Janitor is X-Shot so as to not deny the Town too much information. In this case, the Janitor must choose whether or not to clean up the kill.

Janitors are usually mafia-aligned, though it is not unheard of for a compulsive Janitor aspect to be part of a town killing role (i.e. Vig), in order to weaken it.

Standard version

Whenever a Janitor succesfully performs a kill, the killed player dies with no flip.

Variations

Usually, but not always, Janitors will learn the role and alignment of the players they kill even if they clean up the body. Whether this information is revealed to the player or to the team at large is also up for debate.

Use & Balance

Most of the time, Janitors are scum, so the people whose flips are obscured are usually Town. Thus, the use of a Janitor revolves around obscuring whether the killed player had a power role. Thus, Janitor is best used when killing players who have not claimed.

As for its power, it's probably overrated.


Sample Role PMs

The standardized Role PM for "Janitor" describes the action as follows:

  • As an active action: if no member of your faction is performing the factional kill, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will die with no flip. (edit)

Example (simplest form)

Welcome to game! You are a Mafia Janitor.

Your team-mates are names. You may talk to them here during night phases and confirmations only.

You have the following active abilities, but may use only one per Night:

  • Each Night, if no other member of your faction is performing this action, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will die.
  • Each Night, if no member of your faction is performing the factional kill, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will die with no flip.

You win if at least one mafia member is alive and all other players are dead (or if nothing can prevent the same).

Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role.
