Actually I like this for a role.In post 8, Ectomancer wrote:Tell them to claim "Swatter". They call the cop on innocent townies for kicks.
If the swatter targets the cop then the investigation is directed to a random remaining town member. No information is gained on the Cop's original target.
If the swatter targets the cop then the cop is guaranteed a result even if targeted by a traditional roleblocking role. (Cops must respond to a terrorist threat no matter what)
So it allows for a Cop to overcome a Roleblocker, but not to catch scum red handed.
Throw in making this both a town and mafia role in the meta and I think it has a lot of fun potential uses in a game balance.
What do you think?
