An Alarmist is a form of protective role designed to counteract a Cult Recruiter. The Alarmist targets a player at Night, and if someone else attempts to recruit that player that Night, the recruitment will fail.
Alarmists are almost always pro-Town, as Cults generally cannot recruit anti-Town players anyway.
The presence of an Alarmist is a fairly clear indicator of either the existence of a Cult, or a moderator who likes toying with false positives.
Variations
A few moderators make Alarmists' protection permanent. However, this effectively confirms the player as non-Cult for the rest of the game if they were not Cult-aligned to begin with.
Alarmist is not to be confused with Deprogrammer.
Use and Power
Beyond making it evident to the game that a Cult exists in the game, the Alarmist's actions are generally only useful late in the game when process of elimination is being used to determine who was recruited into the Cult and when.
