Cole Kaneski wrote: Choose a person each day to listen in on any conversations that happen that night involving that person. I have three different ideas on how this role would work.

Idea 1: you only hear what only the person you listened to says, hearing only 1 side of the conversation. '''hmm, so do you select a target and the NEXT night hear what they say? And that tells you if they are mafia or not?'''

Idea 2: you hear the entire conversation, but everyone who talks come up as “A Person” similar to how the VH hears the vampires '''Again, telling who the mafia/jailor/medium is? And if it is a medium, do the dead names still look like the dead tags saying 'a person'?'''

Idea 3: you see the full conversation you know what your target says, everyone else’s text comes up as “A person”  same thing as above  ​​​​​​​

Any improvements?

so first, please answer the questions above (and the ones below)

'''If the target doesn't speak, do you see what they do, like '[name] is using their ability on [name]' or anything like that? You need to be specific''' Overall, this seems like a decent idea, yet a little UP. I personally believe idea 1 would be the least OP, because listening to an entire conversation (especially if mafia) could potentially get all RM down. Also, I have 2 suggestions:

1) make it so that the selected target, the person with the number above it and the person below it will get a message saying 'You and others around you feel nervous. You may be Eavesdropped!' at the beggining of the night (example: you chose number 14 to eavesdrop last night- 13, 14 and 15 would get the message, but only 14 would be eavesdropped) That way, the eavesdropped person could know. (This may be a bad idea, but somebody else can criticize me)

2) since you are only listening to one person, you still see their name.

so,, yeah. I really like this role!
