Town Investigative

Town Investigative is the alignment of those individuals in the town who side with the townies. They are able to gather information on the roles or actions of other players, which would eventually help them judge which players are their friends, enemies, and possible detractors. It is important for Investigative roles to have a sense of urgency, and to speak up when the townies are about to lose due to lack of information. Deducing the best moment to reveal will be just as important in deducing who the evil-doers are. A rookie mistake when playing these roles, is to stay silent the whole game even though what the rookie knows could win the game for the town, simply due to fear of death from nightly visits. All Town Investigative roles need to understand their death can be a valuable sacrifice when certain amount of information is at hand, and realize other members of the town needs information to be truly useful, sometimes even by saving the brave investigative. The worst thing that could happen to the Town Investigative role is to be cleaned by a janitor, so be careful when someone gets cleaned in the graveyard, and get your infomation out soon.

On the other hand, many roles who oppose the town are heavily incentivised to pretend to be a Town Investigative role. They do this to spread misinformation and potentially lead the town to lynch someone who is irrelevant or even innocent. A Town Investigative must understand that the Town may doubt the legitimacy of their claim because of this, and may need to convince the Town they are who they claim to be.
