You mean TS not TI the lookout can confirm itself and the investigator also can, to an extent. then you look at other town roles - escort, transporter, sometimes doctor, to name a few. self-confirmation is not that powerful if your utility is limited in a way like this. sure you can be a confirmed retri, but then how useful are you you grant an extra vote to the town, aren’t suspected therefore confirming your role, limiting claim space for evildoers, and reducing your odds of being lynched so one less townie could have a trial wasted on them? you have such little information to give to the town that it doesnt matter that people trust you '''thats not really important. Like I already said, theres other benefits to it'''. additionally, being a confirmed townie increases the likelihood of you getting killed. TP and LO: *coughs*

because of the lack of utility which this role has, it also gives very easy claims to scum because there is no useful information that you need to give '''you auto confirm yourself. This is on the same level of stupidity as saying “mayor is a good claim for scums because they don’t provide information'''. you can just say 'consort visited number 7', but guess what, they would already know because of the message they get. Well no, they dont know if its consort, it could be escort

most scum roles are killers, or give a message themselves. this roles is not nearly as powerful as the lookout, which gives much more helpful information.

also, what is the logic behind the sheriff result? this role is weak enough '''its not weak. It auto confirms itself so the result won’t even change anything'''
