Seems pretty pointless for Mafia.

Alright, now I like it. Mafia didn't make sense for it and seemed far too underpowered. This seems good.

I like it. It's pretty well an inverse Lookout, so the idea would obviously work. My only suggestion would be that a 'Stalker' doesn't sound very friendly, haha. Have you thought of maybe making it something more socially acceptable by the nice town folk, like 'Watcher' or 'Observer'. I think the local Serial Killer would be looking behind him if there was a Stalker in town :D

Well this is exactly the same as Detective from Starcraft 2 Mafia, and I read somewhere that they didn't want to add Detective in ToS because it would be too unbalanced. Personally I would like this to be in ToS.

Honestly, this is a great role. I could see this being used in-game perfectly with the other roles.

Maybe they should be called Stalkers.
Mayor should not be a Unique role.
I /support the new Jailer (Neutral Killing) role.

Yeah. Tracker is a good name, and the idea is very good. The name 'stalker' would fit more if this was a mafia role.

True, but why would Mafia need this role in the first place? :idea:

Very simple role, I like it.

And Mafia could use it for the same reason as Town. To find out who is important.

It would be like a Consigliere, because if they followed someone, and they killed the person they visited, they would know they're the one responsible.

Backwards lookout. Just have to get the right person. In my opinion, I don't think this is needed.

Lookout serves same purpose. Just need to look at the target. If anything this is more powerful, since you can track the suspects.

On second thought, I do like this role. And the best thing about this, it makes the Blackmailer not screwed over by Invest results.
