Zombie Lord

Lοrd Alias: none Alignment: Zombie Role type: Alignment-Changing Manipulative Choice: Night

A Zombie Lord is a variant on the Cult Leader that can choose one player per Night to prevent from performing his or her night action. Additionally, Zombie Lords have a factional bite night action that allows a Zombie Lord to recruit a player to be a Zombie. Biting will fail if the target is a power role. The Zombie Lord was a mafia role used by farside22 in her ZOMBIES mafia game.

Zombie Lord is an alignment-changing role, and thus requires declaring a game mechanically bastard.

Standard version

Each Night, a Zombie Lord may either roleblock a player, or perform the factional bite to attempt to turn a player into a Zombie. This factional conversion will fail if the target is not Vanilla. If only one Zombie Lord remains, they may roleblock and bite during the same Night.

The Zombie Lords and their Zombies win if there is at least one Zombie Lord alive and the Zombies comprose over half of the living players.

Sample Role PMs

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

• As a targeted action: that player's active abilities will be blocked that night. If you are the last remaining Zombie Lord, you may use this ability and the factional bite the same Night. (edit)

Example (simplest form)

Welcome to game! You are a Zombie Lοrd.

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, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will bite that player. If that player is Vanilla, they will become a Zombie.
• Each Night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player's active abilities will be blocked that night. If you are the last remaining Zombie Lord, you may use this ability and the factional bite the same Night.

You win if at least one Zombie Lord is alive and the Zombies comprise over half of the living players. If all Zombie Lords are dead, you leave the game in a loss.
