Proposal: What’s up Doc?

Passed 6-2 Enacted by Chivalrybean

Adminned at 27 Oct 2007 10:06:29 UTC

Create a new subrule in the rule Occupations named Doctor. Set its text to the following:

If a villager is the Doctor, e may secretly tell the mayor of a villager who is their target. If their target would otherwise have been killed by a werewolf attack, the doctor instead saves the villager from death. The Doctor may not target the same villager more than two nights in a row.

I made my previous post a proposal before I remember it was illegal (rules say commented, not voted, for changing to an official post. I tried to change it back, but I don’t know that it took.)

The meaning of “target” is a bit loose here—I could see the Doctor “targeting” themself once and then never send another email to the Mayor, which arguably wouldn’t break the rule.  Also, two nights is four days of real time, which is a pretty long span to be invulnerable, especially since you can switch back after only one night off.  against

This could cause some interesting but accidental interaction between rules if the Doctor were also a werewolf; they’d be unable to kill.  However, I think this is unlikely to happen.

That’s why I originally made it a non-occupation. But then, if a werewolf takes this occupation, no one will ever be saved.

By my reading, targeting as a werewolf and as a docter would be equivalent.

Ahh… good point.

for we need to get something going for silver bullets though, so the good doc can protect himself (assuming he doesn’t just make himself invincible instead).

unless the hippocratic oath applies. in which case, maybe the doctor can’t vote to lynch either (like the non-existant priest)

against You still haven’t clarified who, if anybody, is or isn’t told about the death prevention.
