Allignment: Town Investigate

Attack: none

Defense: none

Unique: no

Abilities: - you can read whispers in the chat '''NONONONONONONONONONO. - you can read the mafia chat at night NONONONONONONONONONO.''' - you can get an exact role from the role list. Overpowered.

Attributes: - the mafia will know if there is a detective Eh.

Mechanics: For example you want to know in the classic game what the random town is. At night you will investigate this. You find out that the random town is escort, so you know the bodyguard claim is lying. This is overpowered.

Sheriff: your target is not suspicious

Investigator: spy/blackmailer/jailor/guardian angel/detective

Consigliere/Witch: your target has its eyes and ears everywhere while he remains unsean, they must be a detective

Goal: same as town

Must kill: same as town

Wins with: same as town

May spare anyone else This role completely eliminates claims, which is literally how evil roles survive. Rejected. Tfw when you can't review a role if your life depended on it ^^^^^^

Please, provide some half decent reasoning or just don't post. Like Jesus, you couldn't gather even a few sentences and you said 'Rejected'. I must say, though, I admire how pathetic your post was. It's not even remotely helpful. Try explaining how it completely eliminates claims, or how it's overpowered, or why you decided to repeat 'NONONONONONONO' twice, or how 'Eh.' is helpful in any way whatsoever. Take a look.Oh and don't leave this post hanging, please. Slightly off-topic - it isn't literally how evil roles survive, like, at all. If you're going to use the word 'literally', then use it correctly. Town doesn't always push for claims and scum actually survives by not letting Town figure out that they're scum, often through fakeclaims, but there are alternatives. My point is that you've used 'literally' in the wrong context. And no, the role doesn't 'completely eliminate' claims. It gets one single role. There's more than 1 scum.

Look, I didn't mean to offend you, but I'd rather you gave no feedback than unhelpful feedback. It's not 'constructive criticism', it's not even that destructive, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick the latter. It's what I call 'awful role reviewing'.
