Summary

A Flavor Cop is a Cop that, rather than receiving the standard guilty or innocent results, is returned a piece of information (often taking the form of an object) pertaining to the flavor of the target's role. The types of objects and the form of information vary substantially based on the theme of the game. These roles tend to force players to use deduction and are often used for verifying claims.

Variations

The more traditional and mafia-themed versions of this role are the Caterer and Gunsmith.

The Gunsmith is told whether or not his target possesses a gun. The player would have to determine, flavorwise, if his target fits the bill. Roles that usually carry guns are Cops, Mafia, and Vigilantes. Serial Killers are usually returned to not be in possession of a firearm.

The Caterer is a simple flavor cop that checks to see players' catering orders. He gets returned Pizza for Mafia, Donuts for Cop, and other food items for anyone else.

Use

The most common use of a Flavor Cop is to verify someone's claims. For example, let's say that in a Mario-themed game, someone claims Mario. A Flavor Cop may come out and say he investigated that player and received information that he was wearing green, allowing a possible lynch on the grounds of Lynch All Liars (Mario traditionally wears red, while Luigi traditionally wears green). Flavor Cops usually only appear in Theme Games, and are usually only of the claim-verification variety in themed games.

Flavor Cops are oftentimes used in place of traditional Cops in order to avoid giving the town exact information. Because of the nature of their results, Flavor Cops are usually less powerful than normal Cops.
