Overview

The Bus Driver is one of the most chaotic yet influential roles in the game, capable of drastically turning the tide both for and against the town. The role has the ability to swap the positions of two players each night, night actions that target one of the swapped players will be redirected to the other one.

Strategies

Notes

  • Bus Drivers can become extremely chaotic when multiple Bus Drivers are in the game at once
For example if there are 3 players (Player A, Player B and Player C) and 2 Bus drivers and the first bus driver swaps players A and B whilst the second bus driver swaps players B and C:
  • The original order of the players is A B C
  • If bus driver one swaps first the new order is B A C followed by B C A after bus driver two swaps
  • If bus driver two swaps first the new order is A C B followed by C A B after bus driver two swaps
Hence with multiple bus drivers it becomes impossible to predict which players were actually affected in the previous night if the Bus Drivers targets overlap because there are multiple possible outcomes
  • Bus drivers only affect the recipients of night actions. For example if a Sheriff investigates a player and the Sheriff is then swapped but the Sheriff's target is not, then the Sheriff will still investigate their target normally.
