A '''Visitor''' (also known as False Positive) is a player who has an action that does not do anything. The player can target another player at Night, and will be seen by any [[Tracker|Trackers]] or [[Watcher|Watchers]], but the action itself has no in-game effect. It's basically a slightly more powerful [[Vanilla]], as it can be proven as long as there's a Tracker or Watcher.
A '''Visitor''' is a role that may visit a player each night. This action can be viewed by any [[Follower]] variant among other roles, but the action itself will have no effect upon its target.


==Normal Guidelines==
'''Visitor''' is a valid [[Normal]] role for any [[alignment]]. In a Normal Game, a Visitor may visit a player each night, but this will have no effect beyond visiting that player.

By the nature of the role, it can be used with the [[Weak]] modifier to turn it into an investigative role.

The [[Fruit Vendor]] role is a variation in which the target is aware of the action performed on them, but not who performed it. Often, the action is explicitly designed to be impossible to perform at the same time as any other [[Night action]], thus allowing a player to prove that they're doing nothing consequential overnight; this is commonly used in [[Split Motive/Role]] setups.
===Similar Roles===
A [[Named Townie]] is a role that serves no purpose beyond having a unique name.


==Note to Moderators==
A [[Fruit Vendor]] is a role that can give a player a piece of fruit each night.
Should there be a [[Follower]] or [[Voyeur]] in the game, it becomes important to define before the game what type of action (if any) the Visitor is seen performing.
Examples:
* Masonizers perform Recruitment actions;
* Fruit Vendors perform Support actions.

Alias:

Alignment: any
Role type:

Choice:
  • Night

A Visitor is a role that may visit a player each night. This action can be viewed by any Follower variant among other roles, but the action itself will have no effect upon its target.

Normal Guidelines

Visitor is a valid Normal role for any alignment. In a Normal Game, a Visitor may visit a player each night, but this will have no effect beyond visiting that player.

Variations

Visitor was originally called False Positive, a role that was under the impression that they were doing something but in fact were doing nothing besides performing an action.

Use & Power

Visitor is a nominally-useless role. It does nothing, but by existing, it has power as a Named Townie. The Visitor is a step up from this: as it has an action, it can confirmed to be doing something by roles that can see actions happen, like any kind of Follower variant role.

Visitor is a common modified role. Consider applying Weak to a Visitor to turn it into an investigative role.

Play Advice

There is little that can differentiate a Visitor from a Vanilla Townie, however by not being a VT it can itself be considered a kind of power. If a massclaim can be beneficial to the town, consider insisting going after a player you view as scummy, as the town may end up with too many power role claims, making decisions derived Setup Speculation and Process of Elimination easier.

Sample Role PM

Abilities:

  • Visit: Each night phase, you may visit a player in the game, but this will have no effect beyond visiting that player.
