Detective Rules

[islandiastaff]

The Detective role is a little different than in standard Mafia - you don't just scan one person each night and get a result. Here's the details!

Each night, as a detective, you pick three people to investigate. If any of them have roles other than Villager, you are informed of this, along with what those roles are. However, you are NOT informed of who has which role, or how many people have each role. Spy roles (Magicia, Spy Detective) count as both a Spy and the role in question.

Here are some examples! Suppose Alice scans Bob, Carol and Dan.

Roles: Bob, Carol and Dan are all Villagers.
Result: "Nothing special."

Roles: Bob is a Spy, Carol and Dan are Villagers.
Result: "Contains Spy."

Roles: Bob, Carol and Dan are all Spies.
Result: "Contains Spy."

Roles: Bob is a Spy, Carol is a Detective, Dan is a Villager.
Result: "Contains Spy, Contains Detective."

Roles: Bob is the Spy Detective, Carol and Dan are Villagers.
Result: "Contains Spy, Contains Detective."

Roles: Bob is the Jailer, Carol and Dan are Spies.
Result: "Contains Spy, Contains Jailer."

Roles: Bob is the Magician, Carol and Dan are Villagers.
Result: "Contains Spy, Contains Magician."

Once you've checked a specific person twice, you can't check them again. You can't check fewer than three people.
