so no Observer has this problem too. They could watch the Jailor and tell the mafia someone is TP, the mafia goes kill that person, and that person turns out to be a escort. Which is essentially like killing a medium these days. Killing an Escort is better than killing a Medium. When you watch the Jailor, at least you know that all visitors are either TP, Spy, LO, Escort, Trans, or Arso. Knowing that someone is one of those roles is good because you definetly want to kill them so you can kill the Jailor.

Ofc every role has faults. Escort can be negative utility if used improperly; medium is so limited that it is impossible to make it negative utility.

Meanwhile, one more thing is that it is generally too risky to visit a Jailor because if Spy sees you it’s a 50/50 chance of being an Observer, because only Observer and Consort would have any reason or would even be able to visit a Jailor N1, and only the Observer would have a reason to visit the Jailor on any night other than N1.
