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.

Flavor Cops are often used in place of traditional Cops as they can be less powerful due to the potential uncertainty of their results. A weaker Flavor Cop might return vague results while a stronger Flavor Cop can have more definitive investigation results. For fairness, the moderator should list the investigation results ahead of time.

Variations & Examples

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.

Thieves, Gunsmiths, and Role Cops may be a versions of Flavor Cop, depending on the PM.
