Overview
This role has the ability to track one person's activity each night. The Detective can be considered the opposite of the Lookout.
Strategies
- The Detective can offer, at best, incomplete information about what their target did. Say your target went to a person that died that night. While there is a good chance they may be the person that killed them, it is not necessarily true. Try to combine this information with other things you may know, such as if an Investigator stated what roles he might be. The Detective only offers approximations, so it can be a good idea to follow up on your investigations with a Sheriff or an Investigator taking action.
- You can track the person again the next night. If the second person he visited also dies, then the person you tracked is probably the Mafia or Serial Killer.
- If the setting to ignore detection immunity is off, this can actually be helpful in certain circumstances. If you know that there is no Mafioso, and that the Godfather is immune to detection, then if you follow someone to a person who has died, you can conclusively rule them out as being the Godfather.
- Utilization of the last will command is pivotal to the Town roles's success as a Detective. Always leave unrevealed clues in the last will to help the Town even after the Detective's demise. Use the last will by typing -last will or -lw into the chat and fill information into the prompt-box.
- Having an easily readable and understandable format can be very important. For exsample:
- N1: #15 (#1), N2: #15 (#2), N3: #7 (#10),
- N1: #15 visited #1, N2: #15 visited #2, N3: #7 visited #10,
- Having an easily readable and understandable format can be very important. For exsample:
Options
- Ignore detection immunity - (Default = On)
Notes
- The Detective will know who the Lookout watches.
- The only roles that can visit themselves without the help of a Witch are Citizens, Bus Drivers, Lookouts, Veterans, Mass Murderers, and Survivors.
- When a Detective tracks a Bus Driver, the Detective will only know the first target.
