Flight Recorder

Flight Recorder Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Investigative Choice: Night Status: Untested

A Flight Recorder is an investigative role that determines whether a player has ever been targeted by someone else, either on the night it is used or on a previous night.

Standard version

The Flight Recorder investigates a player to see if they have ever been targeted by someone other than the Flight Recorder. Only three results can be obtained from this investigation: Negative, Positive, or No Result. This investigation resolves after all other abilities.

A negative result is returned from players that have never been targeted by anyone else.

A positive result is returned from players that have been targeted by anyone else.

As usual, No Result is returned if the Flight Recorder's own action was blocked, e.g. by a Roleblocker or by their target being Ascetic.

Variations

Inspector checks to see if their target was targeted by someone else that night or not.

Executive checks to see if a player has used an active ability, either on the night it is used or on a previous night.
