Welcome to the game; you are the The Census Taker
ALIGNMENT: Town
GENERIC: Special
WIN CONDITION: All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished.
BACKGROUND:
To an outside observer, you appear cold, indifferent, efficient. But appearances can be deceiving. In your case, you know without question that beneath your callous, bureaucratic exterior beats the heart of a callous bureaucrat. You're a government official; you leave the layers to the onions and the ogres.
Your job is categorizing and counting things - specifically people. Your unrelenting and somewhat anal retentive dedication to completing your work as thoroughly as possible has brought you here, to an unsanitary cabin in the woods, where you would seem to be ill-equipped to do battle with the armies of evil.
But, having started your career with the IRS, you know from armies of evil; you might be able to make yourself useful at that. You are equipped with a brand new ball point pen and a sheaf of surveys, enough for each person in attendance. These surveys allow for total anonymity, and you represent the Census - the answers you receive are certain to be honest. No one lies to the government, after all.
You have equipment enough to conduct exactly one survey, at your discretion. Good luck!
POWERS:
1. Once per game, you may receive an accurate, up-to-date, moderator-guaranteed-to-be-truthful answer to either one of the following two questions:
Please see the rules for formal definitions of "Town," "Scum," and "Third-Party" in this context.
You may choose to ask your question as a Day action or as a Night action; in neither case may your action be blocked. You will receive your answer at Dusk (if you ask by Day) or Dawn (if you ask by Night), as long as you are alive to receive it. The answer will reflect the game state at the time the question is answered, not at the time it is asked.
