I just finished a game and wanted to ask a question following...
I was scum and one of my mates had the watcher PR
When we were deciding what to do, it seemed obvious that a successful Watcher result on town would be difficult to come by as the odds are very much against you - so - we decided to look at one of our own scum players so we knew if there was any possibility one of us had been copped (or any other PR etc) - this made fake claiming a bunch easier
Following the conclusion of the game we mentioned this and the town players were surprised and said clever ploy
Have we found a loophole or is this a fairly acceptable use of the power?
By team-watching I think we turned a potentially unlikely result into an always-useful result because by using watcher to “play defence” even a no result is really useful to scum
I know there are other risks such as no result due to role block but overall I think we created more power than anticipated
