^This, here. *headwall*
Wish I'd have checked this game in time to say it first, but yabba nails the crux matter. Congrats on outing what are probably the two investigative/information roles in the game, Chron...did a miller PROBABLY implying a cop just not occur to you? Tracker/cop is
not
an unheard of combination, nor one as super-charged as watcher/cop could be. (Which is why, along with it making about zero sense as a scum play to claim tracker under no pressure, that I think Chron is about certainly town...just not making the smartest move ever by claiming immediately like this).
It would be unexpected, unusual, and confusing to include no cop in a game that also contained a miller, but wouldn't call it "bastard" modding, per se. There was a recent threads on the mafia discussion boards, in fact, about how misleading things like copless millers are perfectly acceptable. If you want to wager that's what he our mod did this round, I can't say much to stop you. But it's NOT.
Claim: Carls' Jr., cop.
If you guys want full flavor, I can give it, but I'm not sure how much difference you feel it would make.
I checked EC because a) I didn't think it was likely the guy would be targeted and nightkilled, and b) he was someone I didn't have a supremely strong town or scumread on yet. Obviously could have chosen my target better. :/
