Bus Driver: Switching Targets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What does this role do?
The Bus Driver may choose two players each night. Any actions taken on one 
player (peeks, wolf kills, protection, etc) instead target the other. Affected 
players are not told of this switch.

Who does this help - villagers or wolves? How much?
Another chaos role. This brute of a role messes with everyone and can wreck 
player's strategy, all without knowing the effects of his actions.

This description is not detailed enough. 
If the Seer (S) sees target (T) who is not a wolf and the bus driver (who has 
to be renamed B) switched a wolf (W) and T what does the seer see?

T is a wolf?
W is a wolf?
W is not a wolf?

The Seer would see "W is a wolf."

Examples:

We have three players, S (Seer), W (Wolf) and B (Bus Driver). Say that B 
switches S and W, wolves kill S and S peeks W. The end result would be that S 
sees "S is Seer" and W is killed by the wolves (and everyone laughs at how much 
of a fail the wolves had, not knowing it was the Bus Driver's fault).

And another one: We have three players, H (Harlot), B (Bus Driver) and V 
(Villager). Say that B switches V and H, H visits V, and the wolves kill V. The 
end result would be that the wolves attack H, who gets killed because he 
visited himself.

I realize that (a this role can be very confusing to new players and (b this 
would require the bot to do all night calculation at the end of night... and 
wait a minute, there's not an issue for night calculation yet?! I'll have to 
add one.
