Same thing as being roleblocked. Your action fails.

I can't remember if I opted for hiders being allowed or not, but I don't really have any qualms about them being gone.

Its such a weird role compared to everything else in normals.

I like Hiders, they are one of my favorite roles to use as a mod and ARE my favorite role as a player.

1) Yes FN's can be roleblocked

2) We don't have a standard but something like "You learned that Player-X is aligned with the Town and is a Friendly Neighbor"

3) Encryptor is only normal for mafia although I suppose a town encryptor could work as a non-normal allowed role. Mafia Encryptors only affect mafia chat.

4) No, the whole point of that list is to be 100% complete. Yes, that'd be appropriate.

5) Hmmm, that is a question that I'm not entirely sure on, but I would tend to think that having a modifier means you are NOT vanilla.

6) Yes, I think you can do that. I don't think you can have a Miller JoaT though since a miller qualifies as a role and not a modifier (at least in a normal sense, in non-normal games you can do whatever you want with it). You can have every role in the game be a JoaT with arbitrary abilities though. (Not that we'd approve that for balance if you did)

No. They aren't explicitly non-normal though either. So you could have one in a mini and two in a large I believe.

Ascetic would generally be a more pro-mafia role. Its a more reasonable substitute for a godfather since it causes 'no result' instead of misleading results. Also extremely powerful against watchers and trackers, so use with caution. But ya good role, hope it sees some use.

Since when are Hiders complicated?

Well. They are complicated in that they can be confusing for NAR if you have weird roles or don't know what you are doing. I don't recall seeing more than 1 variant of hider ever though.
