Also did I just hear that other TS are on par with Mayor? Because they aren't. Mayor is THE most confirmable role. Trans has a negative utility, Escort has a consort. I agree, Retri is more powerful than Mayor. Medium is only confirmable if there's another medium/ret. Jailor, too, is on par with Mayor. Vigilante is underpowered with its guilt and Veteran can't really choose who to kill. That's why Town (Power) is Jailor, Retri and Mayor - they're all confirmable and powerful. '''Okay, fine, 2/3 shared, 1/3 doc can't touch. Still not that bad...'''

Bodyguard is broken - but only in an OP sense. Hence it is stronger than Doctor. Doctor was only made confirmable to be on par with BG, but it still needs more than 2 heals in game to make it as powerful than BG. Rarely does a Doctor protect more than twice, at least in my experience.

As I've said, a 1-for-1 trade is in favour of Town. Massively. This justifies its 1 protection. Okay, I'm just unhappy with the topic. I thought it was which role is all-around better (including balancing). But if it's straight power...

I mean, I can't really argue.

BG is still a horrid role.
