Motion Detector (II)

Motion Detector (II) Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Investigative Choice: Night Status: Untested

The Motion Detector (II) is an investigative role that can target a player at Night and learn if any actions were ever performed by or on that player on that night or previous nights, but not what the actions were or who else was involved.

Standard version

A Motion Detector (II) should receive the same result if they see that their target has ever performed an action as they would if they see that their target has ever been targeted. If their target is Ascetic or targeted by a Rolestopper, they should receive a "No Result" pm, the same as if they'd been blocked themselves. A Motion Detector (II) would not see a Ninja performing a kill and would not see Stealthy actions.

Variations

This role shouldn't be confused with the Motion Detector, which detects if any actions were performed by or on that player that night.

An Executive checks if a player has ever performed an action, and a Flight Recorder checks if a player has ever been targeted by an action.

Sample Role PMs
