I'm a Hypnotist. It's a one-shot power that matches the
mafia.gg description (Which specifically says that it's town-aligned):
Role name: Hypnotist
Alignment: Town-aligned
Tags: Info Power, Night Power, Single-Use, Visits
Once per game, may visit and hypnotize a player at night
The hypnotized player’s first message of the following day will be changed to "I am [the role they see themselves as]" once sent
If the hypnotized player does not speak within the first 25 messages of the day, a message will be generated for them
pmc seems to be really reaching with that town-of-salem role.
You may hypnotize one player each Night, giving them a false message once the Night ends.
DDS never mentioned that rule set, and the hypnotist there doesn't at all match what happened. Swang revealed that he was a Janitor, and that's how he flipped. Strike didn't flip any role, which matches what would happen if his kill was cleaned up by the janitor.
As for my history:
I was jailed on N1, I don't know by who, and told him my role.
I used my power on swang on N2. With multiple deaths each night, I didn't want to die without using it. I mentioned that I thought he looked like he was trying to lay low, and wasn't getting much attention. I guess Vot thought the same?
I didn't say right away on D3 that I had used it because if it was blocked for some reason (for example, swang was jailed), I think I would have been able to use it again the next night. Also, I knew that the jailer knew my role, so I figured he could at least back up that it matched what he had been told on N1.
I misunderstood Traf's post asking me to claim. I didn't think anyone else knew my role, so I thought he was the jailer asking me to publicly confirm what I had told him, so I did. Especially after Vot indicated that he wanted a day investigation of swang, and I wanted him to use it on someone else if he could.
