Watcher is an

Variations
Some moderators will tell Watchers whose targets were not visited by anyone "No Result", which is indistinguishable from the result they would have gotten if the Watcher were
Roleblocked.
The Watcher has very few variants; however, there are many related Roles:
- The Tracker learns who a player targeted, but not what action that player performed.
- The Follower learns what action a player performed, but not who that player targeted.
- The Watcher learns who targeted a player, but not what actions were performed on them.
- The Voyeur learns what actions were performed on a player, but not who targeted them.
- The Motion Detector learns if any actions were performed by or on a player, but not what they were, or who else was involved.
Previously, the
Watcher meant someone who could tell if someone performed an action at Night; this role is now referred to as
Reporterand is actually a variant of
Tracker/
Follower. There is discussion about this
here.
