May not be useful. But right now anarchist is a bit OP. Its like an NRA member that is not hostile to the town. My version might be more fun. Take a look at the second version in my post (that I edited).

he acts like a pardoner
and we all know that pardoners have routinely been useless T_T
this adds some more incentive for mafia to be more careful with their choices
no more 1a2a3a4a5a ^^


But random pardons are fun

NRA works better when there are more mafia. Mafia doesn't have to kill NRA. They just have to make sure he's still alive by the time they outnumber the town. Solution:

NRA Member: You shoot anyone and anything that pokes its head out at you. The first person (medic, DT, mafia) that tries to visit you each day/night gets instantly killed. Listchecks and cluechecks do not count, but everything else is. You are not allowed to role claim NRA Member. If you attempt to do so, you will be modkilled.(1)

*Fixed*

Edit: I somewhat agree with Ace on that last note, but it could easily be fixed. If the NRA guy roleclaims and mafia can't kill him at night + the town doesn't lynch him during the night, there's no possible way the mafia could win since the NRA guy would always remain. Unless the terms of victory are "if mafia are equal or more in number than the town, mafia wins."

In that case, the NRA guy is just ignored the entire game, which I guess is fair.

that is the assumed terms of victory
besides mafia can always claim that so and so is mafia and lynch him, ez.

Mafia can just lynch the NRA member at the end of the game when they outnumber the town.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

I'm guessing the answer is no. It makes sense that way. They both shoot each other. There's only 1 NRA member. Also if a DT tries to check...then dead. So the mafia can impersonate NRA members...

the NRA member kills the first person that sees him no matter what. So their actions don't do anything. i.e. if the mafia puts one hit and nobody else does anything the NRA member kills the mafia and stays alive.
However, if a dt visits and gets killed, then the mafia can put one hit on the NRA member and he dies, or mafia can double stack the NRA, or suicide him, etc.



which means unless they get lucky that a townie checks the NRA, mafia have no safe way of killing the NRA guy.

Actually they never will. Martyr just gets the NRA guy that night. Whether he dies or not from now the town knows for no one to check him.

The mafia have to send at least 2 people to kill him, which means they always lose out.

the mafia doesnt have to kill him lol
nobody finds out who the nra member is and there are no clues



if the mafia never kill him THEY LOSE.

They can't silence him, because then the rockstar speaks up.

Game?


how do you prove you're rockstar
and who's to prove nra is nra without losing a dt or medic or vig or w/e



Easy.

Rockstar has 2 bodyguards right?

PM the NRA guy, and have both of your bodyguards independtly PM him the same name.

It's either 3 confirmed townies or 3 confirmed mafia. Take your pick.

you guys keep assuming everyone playing is going to be stupid :/

The mafia can't not touch the NRA guy. He becomes the spokesperson. If he is visited and kills a DT or Medic the martyr just prots him and the mafia can't kill him that night. From now on no one ever visits him and the entire game knows he is the NRA guy. You're back at Square 1 down 2 townies but have an invincible mouth piece. You silence him, the Rockstar steps up.

Mafia can't deal with both of them. After 1 day of both of them being in the open the game is over as everyone sends them their info. The DTs now know 2 and possibly 4 confirmed townies. They send their list to caller with names on it. Whichever way it flips, they already know 2/5ths of the list are INNOCENT.

Do you see how ugly this can get? How do you as mafia stop this? Role claim DT? They just tell you to role check a list of 5 names and send them back the ratio. You can't skew it, because you don't know if they know the other 3 names are mafia or townie. Hence, it's a trap you can't get out of even if you wanted to get INTO it.

Also Caller are you allowed to rolecheck yourself/dead people?

I think Ace's idea about relying on the odds on list-checking is a bit risky.

no, you can't rolecheck yourself/dead people, their roles will be revealed already
but you can rolecheck someone, have them killed, etc.

Caller it doesn't matter that he doesn't know. Once someone mysteriously dies "everyone" knows the NRA person has possibly been checked.

assuming whoever checked him doesn't die, then we're back to the same scenario as the living informs the NRA guy of his identity.

the *only* way this can't work is if the living person died but never told anyone who he was checking on (almost like 0% odds the way the town plays)

the rolecheck comes back as a townie, not trigger-happy

Anarchist is also like the NRA. You have not 2 mouthpieces, but 4. But Caller changed NRA member, so you now have 3. Change the Anarchist.
