Because as I suppose, if you indeed have a character who can scan names like i theorized (hunting for big boss), then you will know their roles as well.

But like I said, we can just not lynch either of us, and I'll use my watch on you, you protect yourself, and we'll see what happens.

Zero I have written my proposal three times now and you have not commented on it while you've commented on every single other post I make.
What do you think of my proposal? You bodyguard yourself, and I'll watch you.
Sound good?

Or, we vote on who you bodyguard, and I'll watch them.

Yes that's what is so hard for you to understand.
Characters do not exclusively fit their roles.
But if you find out that a character matches their role, then it's possible that someone can use that information for scum usage. Yes it isn't directly saying who has what role, but like you said, we have no idea what the extent of sums abilities are.
It's possible they can read names, or maybe they know names already.
You say it's innocent and doesn't tell anything, but how am I supposed to know that. I think you're scum! Literally anything you ask warrants extreme suspicion.

Because we don't even need other players to give that info. All we have to do is look at the dead players to know that your theory that character matches roles isn't foolproof. It doesn't work. Don't you think, maybe, that if I was scum, I might have a better role laid that actually matches my character? You know, just to cover all my bases? What's funny about you is that you say I'm an expert but you calling me out on things noobs would do. If I were making up my role, I would make sure there could be no question whatsoever, even if not all characters matched up.

And no ocelot is nothing like a role cop. That's a stretch and a half.

Point being
If I was dead and ocelot was in my place, you'd be saying how oclot is a traitor and at leaSt the sorrow is psychic so it kind of makes sense.

You are using bias call me scum.

And again, still waiting on that proposal acceptance.
Let's lynch Xander then.

Haha that's exactly what I've been thinking

LOL
the main reason you suspect me is because I correctly used my role! Lol

Look through the past games. I have the record for highest number of actions performed on in one night.
On one game I was targeted by 5 out of 7 power roles.
I literally am targeted the most in vgc mafia, by far.
Also I am probably the most doctired or close to it. And probably either number one or two for being doctored night one.

Don't worry, I'll pull up the statistics. You can sit there and let the grown ups talk.
Ps I won't be able to do this for a few hours until I get home.

Haha I don't agree with spurge, I have been thinking about what he said but that conspiracy theory is unlikely and I'm not supporting it right now, however I'll keep it in mind. I have been reading pretty much everything you and Prof have said, but I still need more time to actually say what I think, hell I may have to read the whole thing again.

Well to answer your question Zero, it's highly unlikely that town has both a bodyguard and a doctor, because they can protect each other and pretty much never die, now this is the tricky situation because if in fact there is only one of those two roles that means either you or prof is lying. I will stop here because like I said I still need to go back to the whole conversation to commit to an opinion.
