Mafia Goon

Town Quantum CPR Doctor

you vig and heal your target

Excuse me, but... what?

Mafia CPR Rigger

  [Passive]
  CPR Doctors always kill their target. This ability stays in the game after your death.

Eh, this makes CPR Doctors useless in any case. That's just bad. Especially when it stays even after you're dead.

e

l Redirector.
...
I'll see myself out.

This is genius.

This is his toned-down version of the role of my original overpowered role of Yuno Gasai when I was trying to design a Mafia Nikki a few days ago.

(Note to who may not know: he's my brother)

Mafia Nikki obviously didn't work because it's basically impossible to replicate appropriate dynamics. It involved a lot of murder and detection (necessary to foil murders) and it was just such a mess.

Here's the original:

Yuno Gasai

• Win Condition:
• You win if either you or Yukkii wins the Survival Game.
  • Note:
  • If both you and Yukkii survive to endgame, you commit suicide, but you still win.

• Abilities:
• [Passive] You murder anyone who targets Yukkii at night.
