What does a Watcher see?
I just re-wrote the wiki definition of Watcher and thought I'd make this poll to ensure that my view is the generally accepted one.
My view is (1) - previously the wiki said (2).Last edited by Mr Stoofer on Tue Apr 01, 2008 12:14 am, edited 1 time in total.- Seol

Agree. 2 is a tracker variant (normally, the tracker also learns who the chosen character targetted).Mr Stoofer wrote:I just re-wrote the wiki definition of Watcher and thought I'd make this poll to ensure that my view is the generally accepted one.

It isn't used nearly as regularly - "Watcher" virtuallyalwaysmeans they know who targetted their target. That's why I said that's the "standard" version, it's not a value judgment on either role.[i]The hungry maw of Twilight snaps, but shall not have its fill,

I voted 2, but I meant 1. I'm surprised that article has been incorrect for so long."This should be an absolute car crash, but let's try it." - CDB

I edited it slightly, to include the alternate (where Watcher is really just a weak tracker):

What the wiki said was what watcher had been considered to be, as far as i can make out, since the founding of the site (i actually read old games to confirm this). That a bunch of people came along and tried to redefine the role does not render the wiki 'wrong.'Xdaamno wrote:I voted 2, but I meant 1. I'm surprised that article has been incorrect for so long.

Fair enough. I checked and it did include the 'variation' before Stoof edited it.The Fonz wrote:
