 * HAH! GOOD ONE
 * Cross-reference? This sounds interesting already

Compared to the second person you selected, the first person you selected is __________.

You cannot use the same person as your first target 2 times in a row You cannot cross-reference a revealed Mayor.
 * ...what? Does this mean that you can't target themselves?

Framing will still affect this role. Godfather is detection immune to this. If they are both Mafia, Neutral Killing, or NS, Compared to your second target, your first target is not suspicious. If second would come up as mafia, neutral killing, and first neutral killing, or NS Compared to your second target, your first target is good. If second would come up as not suspicious or neutral killing, first neutral killing or mafia:
 * That actually changes things a lot, because framing is suddenly a lot more powerful. Good job on that! I can see this PROUD PARTENT
 * Uhh, waaa
 * So if they're of the same alignment. Great. Also, are we including Arsonist in NK? Or still WW and SK?
 * Very well.
 * ...what?
 * Hmm. So lemme get this straight, apparently Mafia is better than NK?

Compared to your second target, your first target is suspicious. If first comes up as Mafia, second as NS:
 * So they're both threats, but the first one is a worse threat. Alright, that's actually sorta interesting.

Compared to your second target, your first target is evil.

If second comes up as Mafia, first as NS:

Compared to your second target, your first target is great. Goal: Lynch every criminal and evildoer.
 * ...Wow. This is really skewed.

Wins with: Town, Survivor

Pros over sheriff:

Check more people Can find a mafia from a "good" result
 * Indeed!

Can have a confirmed town help him alot

Cons over sheriff:

If you check two mafia, or a framed and a mafia, you think they are nice

More susceptible to framer because they can't cross-reference same first target twice

I think that it is a more balanced and fun to play version of sheriff, that is actually useful. Transporter can screw it up, (as always), and I feel like it could be used for a great strategy.

Investigator Results: Your target is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They must be a Detective, Executioner, or Werewolf!

Detective Classification: Classified as not suspicious.

Conswitch results: Your target cross-references people to figure out who they are! They must be a Detective! I'm gonna have to say, that this is quite an interesting role. Hmm...

Can we be more clear on the whole NK vs Mafia thing? Maybe making a table would be better, you know. Just outline how NK v Mafia, etc would work.
