Watcher
Alias:
  • Night watchman
Alignment:
Role type:
  • Informative
Choice:
  • Night

The Watcher is most commonly understood to be an information role that can target a person at night and learn who else targeted (or visited) that person on that same night.

The role can be contrasted with the Tracker, who tracks a player to see who they target, rather than who targets them.


For a discussion on the Watcher role, goto: What does a Watcher see?


Basically some people consider the Reporter role to be the original form of Watcher role while "Night Watchman" is the name for new variant that sees who else visits their target on the same night. The original version of watcher (reporter) has not been as commonly used over time as the new night watchman version. And so the new version has become the more expected and commonly seen understanding of what the watcher role is.
