-The Scum Case on DoctorIndigo-
Sitting comfortably? I have something on my mind to share - a confession, if you will. You see, I haven't been entirely honest. When I received my role for this game, after navigating my way to the website, I saw immediately I was Town. A relief, I must say. Better yet - I was the Rogue One MC, my favourite movie in this franchise. And then I saw I was a Cop. A Cop... of sorts.
I can indeed investigate a player every night. I do certainly receive results. But not alignment. I am an Ability Cop, which tells me the classification of an ability a player uses that Night Phase. For example, if I targeted a Doctor, I would receive "Protective". I received "Your target used a Destructive and a Manipulative effect last night phase" for Juliet. So I can confirm, without any doubt, that she fired.
So first, why? Well, I've played this game for a while, and I like to think I have pretty good insight into setups. The first thing I asked myself after seeing this role is "what purpose does it serve". It's an investigative role that doesn't give clear, defined, this player is town/scum results, but can be used to catch lies and test claims anyway. It's a weaker cop, but then, why is it in the game. I deduced, correctly it would appear, that this means there is no alignment cop in the game. There wouldn't be much reason to have my role be it's own thing if the town had a dedicated role that could check alignment. This is why, when I claimed, I simply said "Cop".
Secondly, and I'll be brief here, there is no reason for me to be lying about this. I clearly got away with implying I was an alignment cop, so you can spare me the pearl clutching.
Finally, how does this pertain to DoctorIndigo? Well, you see, with no alignment cop in the game, or at least no dedicated one, why does a Miller exist? It's conventionally "Bastard" to include a Miller in a game where there is no Cop, because it's a role that affects another. Watchers/Trackers can be affected by Sanity, and at its core, a Miller reverses the sanity of the investigation that targets it, but this isn't how Drago, and many hosts in fact, handle Miller.
Between claiming it today and the fact that there is no need for a Miller to even be in the game, it seems pretty clear to me. DoctorIndigo is Scum.
"Let me summarise.
I'm not an Alignment Cop, I'm an Ability Cop.
There is no Alignment Cop in the game.
A Miller would not exist in the absence of an Alignment Cop."
Now... let the Witch Hunt begin!
claiming miller this dp is very suspect but under these circumstances
am not moved.
