Procrastinating

Procrastinating Alias: none Alignment: Town Role type: Negative Utility Choice: none Status: Untested

A Procrastinating player may only use their ability when there is only one anti-town player remaining.

Standard version

Procrastinating is a modifier that is applied to a role. A Procrastinating role will fail if there are more than one non-town players alive at the start of the phase (typically the start of the Night). This is usually intended for games with known faction sizes. In a game with unknown faction sizes, a Procrastinating player may attempt to act, but their action will fail if more than one non-town players were alive at the start of that phase. (The player still gets a no result PM if they attempted to use an investigative action, as usual for failing investigative actions.)

Variations

Lazy is the inverse of this modifier. A Lazy player may not use their ability when there is only one anti-town player remaining.
