The filling out the archive is a QoL feature for notetaking but mainly so the archivist can publish the full thing, from the graveyard. The important part is that he chooses to do it once a night on any unconfirmed role. This isn't overpowered but it's powerful. It makes it very easy to see whos lying mid game if you're playing your cards right. The strategy here depends on a lot of factors. Someone claims witched, you can choose to examine NE. If it's jest/exe, you cc his witched claim as archivist and call him out. Even if you die first he'll certainly be lynched/exed. With 15 players a game, people are gonna be not claiming. You gather info that no one else can accurately gather each night, and then use it to call out players. I think you think the main draw is that he can fill out his rolelist from the graveyard, which really only exists as a nice visual to filling your archive. This may not be the next spy but I feel it's existence is justified.
