Overview

This role is the Mafia version of the Jailor. It has the ability to jail and role-block one player each night that follows a day with no lynch. The Kidnapper can speak anonymously with the jailed person at night, and optionally execute them.

Strategy

• If a Mayor reveals, it is probably in the Mafia's best interest to kidnap and execute him.

• Kidnapping an Amnesiac can let you talk with them privately an anonymously and maybe convince them to take on a Mafia role.

• Jailing either an Investigator or Sheriff can give the same effect as role-blocking them. By jailing them, you make them useless, slowing down the Town.

• Kidnapping the following roles both wastes a night, as well as gives them unnecessary night immunity:

• Mayor: Mayor can not normally do anything during the night, and you would only be giving him night immunity (Unless you plan to execute him)
• Survivor: Persuading them to side with the Mafia at a later point will give you the advantage of winning if there is supposedly a tie between the Town and the Mafia. They might even be thankful for the night immunity, but it wastes a night for the Mafia.
• Citizen: As Citizens do nothing during the night, this will give them free night immunity and waste your night.
• Mason: The only benefit of kidnapping a Mason would be to prevent them from talking with their teammates, but this is generally seen as quite useless.

• Jailing a fellow Mafia member (if the save permits) without charges or without a reason to use a charge may be wise if there is no need for the Kidnapper to jail someone that night. This ensures that they will survive the night (short of an invulnerability-piercing Arsonist attacking them) and continue to be an asset to the team.

Options

• Becomes Mafioso if alone - (Default = On)
• Can kidnap Mafia members - (Default = Off)

Notes

• Stays in Mafia's night chat, even when in Kidnapper chat.

• If the Can feign an execute after execute is used option is enabled. The Kidnapper can reactivate the ability to "feign" a kill. The target will still believe they are about to be executed, but nothing will happen as night concludes if the charge has already been used.

• The Kidnapper's execution CAN be used in conjunction with the standard Mafia kill similar to Disguiser.
  • If the Mafia have both a Disguiser and a Kidnapper, along with the Godfather's kill, a total of 3 kills can be be preformed in one night.

• The Death Description is the same as that of a Jailor.

• The chat for someone who is kidnapped by a Kidnapper will look exactly the same as someone who is jailed by a Jailor.
