Description

Kidnap a player - they can't act or be killed, unless you execute them.

Lore

A van, a blindfold, and a dark room - by morning, they won't remember a thing.

Abilities & traits

  • Can repeat target - Jail the same player consecutively [On, Off (default)]
  • Chat anonymously with your target (Online mode) - Your target sees you as "Jailor" while you see their name in the chat window
  • Executions - How many prisoners can be executed [0 (default), 1, 2, 3]
  • Friendly kill penalty - What happens when executing a friendly player [None (default), Lose charges, Die from guilt]

Cause of death

  • Executed in captivity (Victims)
    A cold silence fell over a locked cell...
  • Died of guilt (You)
    Someone was consumed by guilt and could not go on...

How to play

Kidnap a player during the day. At night they can't act - their action is cancelled - and they're protected from all kills. Unlike the Warden, you have no execution charges by default (configurable). Use kidnapping to protect Mafia allies from night kills or to neutralize dangerous town roles. Be careful kidnapping the Serial Killer: your cell roleblocks him, so unless you execute him, he'll kill you instead - and with no charges by default, that's every time.
