I disagree with the nomination for self-sensor. The role essentially makes town go for a town lynch day 1, as the information gained is really strong. This makes day 2 scumhunting essentially like day 1 scumhunting, save for some really extraordinary self-sensor results. It also makes scumhunting more brainless. You can just play by PoE a few days after the self-sensor.

The argument that the self-sensor could save himself for later is moot; the power is so strong that you can simply not afford it to be NK'd. Other than that, the power of the role doesn't really change over the game.

I found that it made the game less interesting and more mechanics-based. I could not really push myself to play the game in the early stages and the self-sensor was definitely a big part of that.
