Description

Lore

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

  • 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]

  • 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 and are protected from all kills. You can chat privately with the prisoner at night - bluff about executing to pressure them into talking. 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.

Available in online mode only.
