Yeah, but its roaming, which is why there are valid targets to run out of, however unlikely.

I guess the variant you want would be this


Town 2-Shot Vigilante, Compulsive Roaming Fruit VendorYou are a
Town 2-Shot Vigilante, Compulsive Roaming Fruit Vendor


Each day you may talk in the game thread and vote on who to eliminate.

Twice during the game you may visit a player at night to shoot them. Assuming no interference, they will die.

If you don't shoot you
must
visit a player you have never previously visited with this ability to give them fruit. Assuming no interference, they will be informed "You have received fruit." at the end of the night. You can still shoot people you have given fruit to.

If you fail to submit a night action you will visit the first valid target from randomised list of players below and give them fruit.

Spoiler: Randomised List of Players




















You win when all threats to the town are dead, and at least 1 town aligned player is alive.

The game thread is
here
, please confirm your role and alignment via pm. In addition, please confirm the randomised list of players for your compulsive modifier.

I don't know how compulsivity on multiple roles is supposed to work exactly, but this one might be nonnormal. Usually compulsive fruit vendor on a mafia precludes the mafia kill, so I think multiple town roles is probably supposed to work the same way.

I just think it seems nonneutral to resolve no-submission towards a certain action on the compulsive-vig + compulsive fruit vendor. I think a lack of submission should flip a coin for which role is used and also flip a coin for the target, rather than picking one role to have primacy over the other as a moderator.
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

The intent was to give the follower a result on nights the vig doesn't shoot. I intentionally wasn't neutral to reduce swing on the chance a night action wasn't submitted, but I could see how there might not be a normal resolution to this idea.

Does it change the balance enough to need further changes if it's just a 2-shot vig? Maybe ungating the follower? The fruit vendor aspect was intended to be slightly +mafia but I'm not sure how much of an effect it actually has

Maybe give the vig a Finder ability for a traditionally scummy role the mafia doesn't have? An ability they'll want to use on the nights they don't shoot that is actually zero utility, or slightly negative utility by the implication of that role existing?

All investigative roles are minimally useful on the ascetic actually

What if you just do a regular 2 shot vig and make the 4shot follower a 4shot combined gunsmith follower?
