Variations on Cop or Doctor roles are called reliabilities. Non-reliable roles are not self-aware of their reliability.

Cop Reliabilities

Despite the name, multiple roles can have these reliabilities. The Cop is by far the most common investigative role to be non-reliable. Reliability/role combinations that have not been theorised on the forums have been devised by BwBurke and are in italics. The most common reliabilities are Inverse, False Negative and False Positive.

In all cases below, the Watcher and Voyeur do not receive their own names as results. Note that the Miller and Godfather modifiers may or may not override cop reliability.

Reliable

A reliable investigative role receives normal results.

  • A reliable Cop receives an innocent result for Town members, and a guilty result for Mafia members.
  • A reliable Role Cop receives the name of the target's role, but not their alignment.
  • A reliable Tracker learns the name(s) of all people targeted by their target.
  • A reliable Follower learns what action(s) their target performed.
  • A reliable Watcher learns the name(s) of all people who targeted their target.
  • A reliable Voyeur learns what actions were performed on their target.

Inverse

An inverse investigative role receives the opposite result of a reliable role.

  • An inverse Cop receives a guilty result for Town members, and an innocent result for Mafia members.
  • An inverse Role Cop receives a power role as a result for Vanilla roles, and a Vanilla role as a result for power roles.
  • An inverse Tracker receives the results of a reliable Watcher, and vice versa.
  • An inverse Follower receives the results of a reliable Voyeur, and vice versa.

Cynical

A cynical investigative role always receives a guilty result.

  • A cynical Cop receives a guilty result no matter who they target.
  • A cynical Role Cop receives a power role considered "scummy" (mod's discretion) as a result.
  • A cynical Tracker receives the name of the scum kill's target as a result.
  • A cynical Follower receives the "kill" action as a result.
  • A cynical Watcher targeting a nightkill target receives a random name as a result. Otherwise, they receive a blank result.
  • A cynical Voyeur targeting a nightkill target receives the "kill" action as a result. Otherwise, they receive a blank result.

Naive

A naive investigative role always receives an innocent result.

  • A naive Cop receives an innocent result no matter who they target.
  • A naive Role Cop receives Vanilla as a result.
  • A naive Tracker, Follower, Watcher, or Voyeur receives a blank result.

Random

A random investigative role receives a random result -- normally the result a reliable investigation would receive from a randomly chosen living person. The randomly chosen person, if the mod chooses to go this route, cannot be the person doing the investigation in the first place.

Percentage

A percentage modifier can be used as a reliability, if a False Negative result is received when the ability fails. This is generally considered bastard.
