Night Visiting Role
Yes
Abilities
Can choose someone at night to recruit into the cult. Any cult member visited by mason at night will die. If the cult leader is killed, all cult members will die. Wins if cultists outnumber everyone during the day.

Abilities

May convert any player to become part of the cult.

Strategies and Tactics

• Cult converts after the Mason does. This can be used to your advantage towards the end of the game.
• Protect the leader. It's important that the leader of the cult has a good claim so he can survive. Other cultists are expendable as they can still win when they're dead.
• If you cult a mafia, make sure you inform them or convert the rest after that, otherwise the remaining mafias might fire at your recruits.
• Watch out for the masons. Make sure they are eliminated as soon as possible before they become a threat.
• Shrinks have the ability to stop a Cultist from recruiting, be aware of their presence in games.
• Appears as villager sided to sane cops

History

• When the Cultist was introduced, Masons were able to convert any Cultist to a Mason. Because Cultists can convert Masons to become Cultists, this became problematic in games where both roles were present. To solve this issue, Masons were given the power to kill any Cultists they visit.
• As a counter-balance, when a Cultist and a Mason attempt to convert the same person, the Cultist always wins.

Bugs

Conversion order is not the same as 1.0. Cult doesn't convert after mason. Order of events isn't the same as 1.0 across the board. Not necessarily a bug.

• Not sure if this is a bug, but if any of the original Cultists die, all of them do. For instance, if there are two originals and five recruits, and one original dies, six other Cultists die. In my mind would be better if the recruits only died if all the original Cultists die.

• One of the starting cultists is randomly assigned as cult leader without the game notifying you.
