Macho

Macho Alias: none Alignment: Town Mafia Serial Killer Role type: Negative Utility Choice: none Status: Simple Normal

Macho is a role modifier that prevents players from being protected from kills in any way.

The role was first developed as a way to neutralise Follow the Cop strategies that exist in Cop/Doctor set-ups, preventing the Cop from gaining the Doctor's protection. Macho Cop is still the most common Macho role, but other roles have used it for balance and design reasons.

Normal version

This role is allowed in Simple Normal games.

This passive role is considered Normal on mafiascum.net. It negates the effects of any roles that would prevent it from death such as a Doctor or Bodyguard protecting it, although both would still be seen as having visited a Macho role. Macho uniquely can be considered to be a role modifier in Simple Normal games, allowing you to have roles like Macho Cop in a Simple Normal game.

An X-shot Macho player cannot be protected from kills until X attempts to protect them from kills.
