The Tracker is an informative role that can target a player at Night and learn who, if anybody, that player targeted the same night (but not the action the player performed).
Variations
The Tracker 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.
In Two-fold C9 the Wolfstalker is a variation which can only track Werewolves and Town players with the Tracker only capable of tracking Mafia and Town Members.
Use and Balance
A Tracker is a weaker investigative role than a Cop. Whereas a Cop can tell if someone is a member of the Mafia (unless they're a Godfather), the Tracker can only tell if someone visited the person who died on the Night they were being tracked.
This opens up two possibilities for error:
- They may investigate a member of the Mafia, but on a Night that another Mafia member performs the kill
- They they investigate another Power Role who coincidentally also visited the player who died that Night
On the other hand, a Tracker can learn whether someone is a Power Role by whether or not they visit someone, and can occasionally use their reports to circumstantially clear someone (if they tracked Player X and found they visited Player Y, if Player X later flips as a Mafia Roleblocker, it is a good bet that Player Y is not a member of the Mafia).
Play Advice
If you track someone and find that they visit, you know they are a Power Role of some sort. Try to figure out based on who they visited if they are a protective role, an investigative role, or an anti-Town role.
If you track someone to a player who died that same Night, try to get a claim out of your target before revealing that you are a Tracker.
