Sheriff

Faction

• Crewmate Faction

Role Description

• Active ability: Kill
  • You can kill factions that are configured as killable.
  • If you target and kill a crew member (player) from a faction that cannot be killed, it will count as a misfire and you will commit suicide.
    • The misfire outcome can be selected from: “Only the Sheriff dies,” “Both the Sheriff and the target die,” or “Only the target dies.”
  • [Can verify information]
    • The Sheriff is often praised as a Crewmate role that can basically kill, but in practice, it is a role that “verifies information.”
    • By dying, the Sheriff can confirm that the target they attempted to kill is clear/innocent (though this may not always be true depending on the settings).

      • The information about the target the Sheriff attempted to kill becomes confirmed as true (unless there was a misread or intentional trolling), allowing deductions to be built around that information.
      • Confusing or contradictory information can be clarified.

    • If the Sheriff successfully kills the target, that target is confirmed to be evil/guilty.

      • You can build deductions or examine connections while considering that the information provided by the target is likely to include false information.
      • It is also necessary to consider the possibility that the target was a [Mad-type role], [Friends-type role], or a non-killing third-party faction, meaning the number of kill-capable faction members did not change and only the crew count was reduced.
