OPTIONS:

Detects Framer Target
Detects Blackmailer Target
Detects Arsonist

As a compliment to the Spy, the Tracker receives a great deal of information about exactly who was targeted by whom at night. This is severely limited by a few things:
1: All action reports give the target only.
2: Escort and Consort share the same message.
3: By limiting the various mafia roles allowed to be detected, the power of the Tracker can be limited. In particular, I don't believe that the Disguiser or Framer should be detected.
4: Investigators determine that the Tracker may be the Consig.
5: The Tracker also gets no messages for Executioner, Jester, Survivor, Masons (without speech enabled), Mayor, or Citizens.
6: Sheriff, Consig and Investigator all share the same message.
7: New target supplied by the witch can be gleaned from the other night messages, but is not given explicitly.

I think that is where the spys shine: If Mafia suspects one then they might restrict their communications. Not bad when, say, a GF wants the consig or consort to target someone specifically for the team. Besides Spy can also step up his game and try to detect some obvious speech patterns.

Besides a short, piddling time on MafiaScum (I was drowned in the meta they have going), my mafia experience is pretty much limited to the games I've played on SC2. I can't claim this idea to be entirely new, and others have probably thought of it before, but I didn't take it from EpicMafia.

So un-balanced man :o

whats the point of creating randoms roles if tracker will know everything!!!

It will be no more a game of lies!!

Tracker will just say nop dude. Random neutral is arsonist I saw someone be doused! You Cant Be Survivor!
Everyone he see targetted by mafia will be obviously not mafia or if not killed and sk set invuln it will obvious he is since he see who doctor heal!!!

so basicly you want to create a role more powerfull then sheriff and investigator.

Sk tryed to kill red and doc didnt target him but he didnt die!!
hahaha we just found our godfather!!!

This role is the equivalent of playing poker with someone who knows what everyone's cards are.

Ive said this alot on other role suggestions. Roles should not hav the same abilities as other roles. We needc independent and diffferent roles.
