List of Roles

Nothing brings more chaos to a town already in panic than a fanatic, psychopathic Terrorist. Inspired by a ventriloquism puppet show he once watched and a really, really strange childhood, the balance of the Terrorist's mind slowly tipped towards insanity as he fell prey to his own obsession with dynamite. All he wants out of life is to plant as many bombs as he can before he explodes everything in a flash of fire and death. Because he lacks the sanity to plan on his own, the Terrorist works as a pawn for the organized crime and is unable to win by himself.

Other useful commands

Command Effect
!defuse NICKNAME Anyone can use this command to try to defuse a bomb that was planted at a player's house. Trying to defuse a bomb by yourself is very likely to cause the bomb to explode, killing you. Trying to defuse a bomb at a friend's house is more likely to succeed, but if you fail and the bomb explodes, both you and your friend will die.

Professional bomb removal

Police detectives and deputies can defuse bombs with a high chance of success during the night.

Strategies

As the terrorist's bomb can only be stopped with the !defuse command or the detective's !bombsquad command, he is an important weapon in the evil factions possession. Players may hesitate to kill the terrorist in fear of activating previously planted bombs and since your identity remains anonymous unless investigated you vital to your factions victory.


Stay focused

Since the terrorist can only be discovered by the detective, he is an important asset to any evil faction. His main priority should be removing active innocent citizen to prevent innocent power voting late game and provide the mafia with support from the shadows. However since the bombs do not detonate unless you suicide, are killed or someone fails in an attempt to defuse, you must keep track of all targets that you have successfully bombed in order to maximize efficiency.

This is important to ensure that the mafia doesn't kill a bombed target and waste you efforts or you bomb an important mafia target such as the detective and are unable to suicide before valuable information is released. Thus the terrorist must be one of the most aware and active players in the game, the terrorist must continually keep a list of bombed players, potential target, mafia murder targets and continually update the lists according to deaths.

!Suicide

The terrorist must also decide when his death will most benefit his faction, while it may seen that planting as many bombs as possible is the way to go, if you think you have a high priority target such as detective, doctor, saiyan or even opposing evil forces you should consider detonating to give your faction the appropriate lead. By successfully using !suicide you ensure that all your bomb targets die, which in mafia is extremely rare.
