Well you can take that up with her post-game.In post 2589, Gamma Emerald wrote:I made this point before, but the wiki says “CAN communicate”. Have you not heard the joke about the teacher who responds to “can I use the bathroom” with “I don’t know, can you?” Based on the Wiki, the role shouldn’t get a different result if someone doesn’t actually use it. Now we all know by now Maria didn’t use any level of common sense in role definitions and I’ll be reaming her post game for sure for that + horrible vote tracking, but you can only expect so much, and the fact the role deviates that hard is imo a bit bastardIn post 2586, Venus Mars and Pluto wrote:In post 2578, Kaname Date wrote:but how would Gamma know to avoid posting? as far as i am aware, you didn't claim this aspect of your role until today.In post 2577, Venus Mars and Pluto wrote:Gamma were scum here, why wouldn’t he just not post in his hypothetical PT the exact night he expects us to investigate him, so it’s obviously not a clear and yes, itclearly not a guilty.
i am also aware the wiki does list it as a possible variation, however, though i had never heard of that before.I kind of think that’s self-evident based off of this, don’t you? Also, just realized from this, that I would have definitely gotten a meaningless positive on jjh because of his crier role.Traffic Analyst
Alias:
PT Cop
Alignment: any
Role type:
Investigative
Choice:
Night
A Traffic Analyst is a role that is capable of checking to see whether a player can privately communicate. As an informative role, its night choice is to choose a player, and the analyst will learn whether or not there are any players that that player can legally communicate with outside the game thread. (The identity of the people that the target can communicate with is not learned, nor is the content of the communications.)
Note that merely having access to a private topic is not necessarily enough to be able to communicate; there will have to be a second living player in the private topic in question to communicate with. In general, the role will give a "can communicate" result on a player who shares a private topic with another living player, and also on roles that can use active roles to relay messages via the moderator (such as Mailman and Captain); and a "cannot communicate" result on anyone else.

But yeah, it is on the same night. Our even more useless coroner is every night including the most recent one but it only tell us what actions that player performed, so in the case of a scumflip, we’d find out all of the NAs that player made but not who they had any communication with, so I don’t even understand why we even have such a completely useless role, unless there is literally a janitor in this setup.
