Racketeer

Racketeer Alias: Squelcher Alignment: Mafia Serial Killer Role type: Killing Protective Manipulative Choice: Night Status: Untested

A Racketeer is a role that allows the factional kill to protect a player from other actions. Someone killed by a Racketeer will have any other actions targeting them fail that night. A Racketeer's rolestopping will prevent the target from being saved by a Doctor or Jailkeeper.

It is equivalent to combining the factional kill with a Rolestopper. However, a Racketeer may still opt to use the factional kill normally. This is useful to gate the Racketeer ability.

Standard version

An Racketeer's factional kill will rolestop its target, making them immune to all other abilities.

The standard version of Racketeer is considered to be an active role.

Variations

A Racketeer can easily be considered to be a passive role, having their factional kills rolestop players. In fact, Racketeer can easily be seen as both an active role and a passive role.

A Vigilante can be combined with a Rolestopper to have a similar effect to a Racketeer.

Sample Role PMs

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

• As an active action: if no other member of your faction is performing the factional kill action, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will perform the factional kill and that player will be protected from all other actions that night. (edit)

Example (simplest form)

Welcome to game! You are a Mafia Racketeer.

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 other member of your faction is performing the factional kill action, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will perform the factional kill and that player will be protected from all other actions that night.

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