Journalist



The Journalist is, well, a journalist, that bought their way into NETSEC through questionable connections. They want to profit off of the hack and do not care about the winner. If their reporting is accurate, they will gain worldwide fame.

Win Conditions
The Journalist must stay alive, and write three or more articles. Articles can be written using scoops from members of NETSEC, by sabotaging a node to stir drama, or by exposing the Operation Leader.

DAY abilities

 * 1) Unskilled Attack - Use some script kiddie tools downloaded from the web. They won't work, but logs will show your connection to the target machine.
 * 2) Impartial Sabotage - It's the same as rollback, you get a scoop (One use)

NIGHT abilities

 * 1) Get Scoop - You will visit and occupy a player, they will know you occupied them. You will gain a scoop if the player has the Person of Interest passive.
 * 2) Write Article - Write an article based on a previously obtained scoop (This can be from Get Scoop or Impartial Sabotage )
 * 3) Expose Operation Leader - Expose the Operation Leader, revealing to everyone his identity. You will gain an instant article, if correct (Occupies and watches target even if it fails!)

PASSIVE abilities

 * 1) No Dirt on Me - AGENT s can't arrest you unless you get framed.
 * 2) Not a Snitch - AGENT s can't convert you.

Tactics
As the Journalist, you're usually well off claiming to NETSEC. However, this means that you will need to get at least 2 scoops by interviewing members of NETSEC, and that is unreliable and takes time. You should ask before sabotaging any node, even if it's not important to NETSEC, not doing so will make NETSEC mad and get you lynched. You also can't expose the OL for obvious reasons, except when NETSEC is in a hopeless situation and allow you to.

You may also choose to work with AGENTs. This means you should roll back nodes important to NETSEC and expose the OL (typing style!). You still need to get one scoop and write one article, then you need to convincingly fake another class and don't get lynched.
