Methodical is a role modifier that requires a player to confirm their Role PM with an ordered list of all players in the game other than themself. Each night, a Methodical role attempts to target the first name on the list that corresponds to a living player they haven't attempted to target before.

The ordered list may not be changed.

Standard version

A Methodical role will target the first eligible target on the list and use their ability on that target. Eligible targets must be alive and not attempted to be targeted by this role before.

In case a Methodical role runs out of eligible targets, they will loop back to the beginning of the list.

A Methodical investigative role will know who they targeted.

Variations

Methodical doesn't need to be Compulsive, but it is preferable for a Methodical role to be Compulsive.



Sample Role PMs

The standardized Role PM for "Methodical" describes the modifier as follows:

  • As a modifier on a single ability: This action will target the first alive player you haven't targeted before on your ordered list. (edit)
  • As a modifier that affects all abilities: Your actions will target the first alive player you haven't targeted before on your ordered list. (edit)

Example (modifying a single ability)

Welcome to game! You are a Town Methodical Jailkeeper.

You have the following active ability:

  • Each Night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will be protected from kills that night, but all their actions will be blocked that night. This action will target the first alive player you haven't targeted before on your ordered list.

You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.

Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role.

Example (affecting all abilities)

Welcome to game! You are a Town Methodical Jack of All Trades Tracker Doctor.

Your actions will target the first alive player you haven't targeted before on your ordered list.

You have the following active abilities, but may use only one per Night:

  • Once in the game at night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn who that player targeted that night. (You will get "no result" if this action is blocked.)
  • Once in the game at night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will be protected from one kill that night.

You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.
