A RID (from Role + IDentity) is a stipulation imposed on some roles that must be met in order for a player's action to be successful. Of all abilities, the most common action to require a RID is the kill (then called RID Kill). Another common use is with the spy and is often called a RID Guess. In many games, the RID stipulation has been allowed as a means of recruiting Independents or gaining BTSC with teammates.
Such a role can be very powerful when aligned with either faction, but is especially dangerous when controlled by the Baddies and is an oft-used method for preventing Outing. When aligned with the Goodies, it allows for early kill attempts without the repercussion of accidentally killing a teammate. As the game progresses, a player with a RID ability typically becomes stronger as more information is gathered.
Action[]
The typical form for RID roles is RID <action> <target> as <role>
Examples:
- RID Kill GMaster479 as the Godfather
- RID Recruit Yuli as Merlin
- RID Guess: Araver as the Detective
All of these would get responses in the affirmative or negative, unless otherwise blocked. If correct, the <action> happens--GMaster would die, Yuli would be recruited, or the player would know that Araver is the Detective.
Other Uses[]
RID can also refer to any player and role combination, and is often modified by its accuracy (e.g., "an incorrect RID" or "a correct RID").
