Follower

Follower Alias: none Alignment: Pro-town Role type: Informative Choice: Night

The Follower is an informative role that can target a player at Night and learn what form of action they took that Night (investigation, protection, killing, etc), but not who they targeted.

Follower can be of either alignment.

Variations

Some moderators will tell Followers whose targets were not visited by anyone "No Result", which is indistinguishable from the result they would have gotten if the Follower were Roleblocked.

The Follower 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 Reporter is a weaker variant of Tracker/Follower, who learns if a target performed any action that Night, but learns neither whom they targeted or the nature of the action.

Use and Balance

A Follower is a weaker investigative role than a Rolecop. A Follower who targets a Doctor will learn that the Doctor protected someone, but will not learn anything from targeting a passive role such as a Bulletproof or a role that chooses to do nothing on a particular Night such as Vigilante.

On occasion, a Role will have more than one action available to them, such as a Jack of All Trades. A Follower can then determine which power was used on the Night the Follower targeted them.

In the end, Follower is only useful for confirming whether someone used a certain action on a given Night.
