Encryptor is a role that allows Mafia members to talk during the [[Day]] phase. Sometimes only the Encryptor and one other Mafia member can converse, sometimes the entire [[Faction]] is enabled. If the role dies, the Mafia team can no longer talk during the Day.
An '''Encryptor''' is a role that allows people who can converse with it to talk during the [[Day]] phase. Otherwise, they are restricted to speaking during the Night phase.
 
While theoretically this role can be used for [[Mason|Masons]] and the like, in practice this role is Mafia-aligned and allows the Mafia to daytalk.
 
==Use and Power==
Encryptor is a difficult role to quantify the power of. It effectively amplifies the existing coordination skill of the people talking - people who already had no synergy won't get anything out of daytalk; people who are skilled at manipulating the Day game will find it a massive power boost.  With that in mind, Encryptor is a potentially large buff to a scumteam - contingent on the scumteam's skill.
 
Note that including an Encryptor in a Mafia faction that has two members is equivalent to simply giving the faction daytalk outright.

An Encryptor is a role that allows people who can converse with it to talk during the Day phase. Otherwise, they are restricted to speaking during the Night phase.

While theoretically this role can be used for Masons and the like, in practice this role is Mafia-aligned and allows the Mafia to daytalk.

Use and Power

Encryptor is a difficult role to quantify the power of. It effectively amplifies the existing coordination skill of the people talking - people who already had no synergy won't get anything out of daytalk; people who are skilled at manipulating the Day game will find it a massive power boost. With that in mind, Encryptor is a potentially large buff to a scumteam - contingent on the scumteam's skill.

Note that including an Encryptor in a Mafia faction that has two members is equivalent to simply giving the faction daytalk outright.
