Lie Detector

Lie Detector Alias: Psychiatrist Alignment: Pro-town Role type: Investigative Informative Choice: Night

Summary

A Lie Detector is a potentially powerful power role. Each night the Lie Detector sends the Moderator a post made by another player during the previous day, and the Moderator tells the Lie Detector, to the best of his ability, whether that other player was telling the truth when they made that post. The power can be used, for example, to find out whether a role claim is true or not.

In one form of the role, the Lie Detector's ability is lost if he tells the other players, or they work out, what his ability is.

Origins of the role
