Sheriff

A Sheriff is one of the five available roles in Betrayal.io and is one of two benevolent roles. The goal of a sheriff is to perform their tasks as fast as possible; avoid, "kill," and vote out Betrayers and Mimics (in Mimic Mode); support other crewmates; and "killing" and not voting out Jesters.

Functions of a Sheriff
Sheriffs can:


 * survive "killing" Betrayers, Mimics, and Jesters.
 * do their tasks
 * to win while Betrayers are still alive in the game.
 * to prove to other players that they are crewmates.
 * report or leave a dead body or bodies
 * to report Sheriff kills and keep other players knowledgeable about the situation at hand.
 * to avoid suspicion and avoid being killed if baited to a body by a Betrayer or Mimic.

Limitations of a Sheriff
Sheriffs cannot:


 * survive killing a crewmate.
 * transform into other players' forms.
 * know the role of other players.

Etiquette
When playing as a Sheriff, it is polite to:


 * not play as a troll
 * in a way that incriminates known crewmates.
 * in a way that purposefully incriminates yourself.
 * by voting yourself out to appear like a Jester to avoid suspicion.
 * by letting players know that you are a Sheriff, which can catch the attention of Betrayers and Mimics.
 * not team
 * with Betrayers or Mimics to help them "kill" crewmates.
 * with Jesters to help them get voted out.
 * use Voice to communicate (it is faster to communicate this way).
 * not leave a lobby until an active game is complete.
