Condemnee

Condemnee Alias: none Alignment: Town Mafia Role type: Negative Utility Linked Choice: none Status: No

A Lynchee is a player who is the target of a Lyncher; the Lyncher will win if the Lynchee dies.

Standard version

If a Lynchee is lynched, the corresponding Lyncher will die and leave the game. This role is never used without a corresponding Lyncher.

The standard version of this role is Hidden, and not listed in the role PM (the role PM below is for the self-aware variant of the role).

Variations

Lynchees can be of any group alignment, town or scum (making them third-party would be even more bastard than the Lyncher role itself), and might have a separate power role in another respect. They tend to show up only in flavored games where it makes sense for a Lyncher-Lynchee relationship to exist.

Although Lynchees are normally unaware of that status, self-aware Lynchees do exist.

The name is very occasionally used for a Jester (who is effectively a Lyncher who is their own Lynchee).

Use & Balance

If you have to use a Lyncher at all, you should typically balance the game assuming that they succeed in getting the Lynchee lynched (unless power roles save them). Thus, a Lynchee is a good choice for a role that would become overpowered if it survived too long.

Play Advice

If you're Town-aligned, and know that you're a Lynchee, there's not much reason not to claim; it's better that the town know that someone is trying to get you lynched, rather than drawing incorrect conclusions from thinking you're scum. That said, you may well end up being lynched anyway; town don't know that you're town-aligned, and lynching you gets rid of scum. (That said, as long as you're alive, a Lyncher will do anything to prolong the game, so you may want to point out that keeping you alive until all the groupscum are dead is the best way to ensure that the Lyncher's vote is used to prevent scum winning.)
