See the problem with that is that makes it even more like an Investigator because of you think about it this category system is kind of like an Investigator with more roles per result. I think it's better with 3 results as it gives space to scum that need claims badly

Tru but you could always have wiki open and it is pretty easy to remember after sometime because the roles are pretty much where you expect them to be. Moreover it's more of a comparitive role so you don't really need to know the roles in each category off by heart because in one result you dong know for sure which result the roles are in

The investigator results
I get that you want to use the current results for it. But this role is too good of a scum claim to not be with any scum other than blackmailer. Try the bodygaurd or werewolf result.

True, I can see this role being really easy to fake so I think it is a good idea to fair it with scum in Investigator results

So since it's easy to fake it should be paired with a role very evil
e.g.
Interviewer Serial Killer Doctor- Has stained clothes

(I'll try to think of better ones later)




Actually it's good to have town roles that are easy to fake. Because it helps the scum. And scum aren't in a good zone of winning right now

Yes, scum need help and I think this role can help with that because it offers a wide range of claims for evil roles

But it's unbalanced if it's in the same group as investigator. I think it's fine because you don't know what groups the people are, just what they may be based on the other person.

I disagree
Let's say you investigate two roles: Medium and Blackmailor and you get a message saying that "the player name of Medium" is more trustworthy. The Medium dies the next day so you're left with the Blackmailor who you know is in the bottom group and there can't be any Spy because TI RT and Any are taken and Blackmailod claims Spy

Blackmailor is lynched

I guess this role is a more difficult role to play as because it isn't straight forward but if you think about it on a whole you can find more information than you once thought

Ok these are my ideas for this roles Investigator results. Because this role can be pretty easy to fake it can be paired with a role which is fairly evil

Ideas:
Interviewer Forger Mayor- Owns tons of documents
Interviewer Witch Amnesiac- Understands changes
Interviewer Executioner Godfather- Holds grudges or Judges others
Interviewer Werewolf Bodyguard- Eliminates threats that cannot be trusted

The further down the list the better I think they are

Please post feedback below or even you ideas for this roles investigation results

Interviewer Forger Mayor- Owns tons of documents actually just forger isn't really any pressure

Interviewer Executioner Godfather- Holds grudges or Judges othersthat is great but add sheriff too
Interviewer Werewolf Bodyguard- Eliminates threats that cannot be trusted if thee is no weerwolf these two are confirmed

The further down the list the better I think they are

Please post feedback below or even you ideas for this roles investigation results

So basically I support The Godfather result but you should also add sheriff because godfather can't have too much claimspace. I also think that bodygaurd werewolf arsonist interviewer would work ( my result )

Hmm some cool ideas but with the Bodyguard Werewolf Arsonist and Interviewer can't really go together because the lore will be a bit tricky to fit with all of them nicely but I agree with your statement about Sheriff and that with it added in there it would be better. I'll add it in..

Y'know, Interviewer is supposed to see how good people are to do something,
That's a good excuse to put OP evil roles in the higher categories.

Balance over Lore, dude (and it still doesn't make sense. Almost every other role looks for details under your definition)

That result is still absolutely horrible. Puts 2 NKs together, and can instantly confirm a BG/IV if only an SK exists. NKs are known to make themselves obvious from when they spawn, so this can either lynch a BG, or confirm it completely.

I really like this idea, but the Investigator results seem kind of strange. As a suggestion, if I were you, I'd make it this: "Your target files records about others. They could be a Blackmailer, Forger, Interviewer, or Investigator."

I tried to make them as close to the originals as possible and as believable with the lore as possible. With your result it has 2 Mafia roles together which shouldn't really be the case as Mafia roles need a bit more space than that. BMer should go with Spy anytway because they have the same ability of reading whispers and same with Invest and Consig. So that leaves Forger and Interviewer which has low amounts of pressure so let's throw in Witch who has not been respected near enough in the Investigator results and also Lookout to keep it like the original

It does look like an interviewer, but it just seems so... average?
The MP achievements point to the role being Female oriented, and i'd like to see an investigative woman be in the list of skins to buy.
Spoiler: If you would do another version, make sure it doesn't look more like a Teacher, because Forger pretty much nailed that look already.
