Discussion at ET concludes that pair investigators should proxy the entire pair, not just the innocent person

not all results are pairwise though (witch set investigations; roleblockers know their target didn't do it; mad scientists know their zombie didn't do it; anyone in contact with a town child knows they didn't do it; I think that's it?)

Do we actually want the pair proxied, since that indicates whether or not it was an investigation of that form?

we could have single results of "maybe guilty" and "innocent" proxied separately to different people at different times.

re little bird, I think it's better to investigate more experienced players at game start, since new players make sloppy kills often.

People at ET have convinced me that the whole pair should be proxied and not just one person, so m2w, can you ask little bird who the other person in the pair was?

"pear investigator" says that {mayars, brunnerj} -> sammyluo yields that brunnerj did not kill sammyluo.

The pair/set investigation should technically be "a person X is not guilty for that kill", because the guilty one can be different from the murderer.

Do we actually have infallible investigation in the game? The rules say nothing about who is allowed to have it.

Good point vito.

Infallible investigations aren't in game, I think - we initially wrote the rules with a few extra roles, but took them out because having too many roles makes game more confusing. I believe none of the remaining roles have any way to get infallible investigations. But I might just be misremembering my own rules. :P

++ good point, I assume that whenever an investigation is proxied out it implicitly means "is not guilty" not "didn't do it".
I also agree that no one can get infallible investigations, oops we forgot to take that out. I think the closest thing possible to an infallible investigation is a roleblock...and even that becomes less than 100% accurate in late game when there can be mafia zombies.

After a bit of discussion at ET, dylanhen, lukesci, and I concluded that Splitter investigations (that is, free Pair Investigations gotten from Splitters) shouldn't need to go through proxy chains, as getting a free investigation from a Splitter doesn't reveal any info the Mafia don't already know.

We also concluded that Splitters should probably proxy out which two sets they chose (since again, this doesn't give Mafia any more information than they already have).

Splitter Scissors says that yesterday, the mafia picked the set {m2w, ritagram, julian} over the set {ksedlar, lukesci, jasonye}. Presumably this is because fewer pair investigations are better than more. This also may have been motivation for the ritagram kill and for the knock on Julian's door.

@Julian Were you the "Investigator Plum" investigation? If not, did you make a different investigation today?

Yeah, I'm investigator plum. I realized there was very little reason for a proxy but I also realized that there was very little reason to be concerned about telling anyone (max) that I had a result, so I figured it can't hurt.

This is approximately what I expected when I got my free investigation. I suppose the fact that Jason's set was not chosen makes him look slightly towny?

I chose Jason Ye because I suspected him, and Jason Lam because two other people suspected him. I was not particularly surprised by the result...

Darn I don't know who we should execute though.

Sorry, it was proxied to me before day-end, I was just not paying enough attention... It was not that long before day-end though (obscuring exact times for anonymity).

Lucy won't post investigations for unknown, probably OOG reasons, so I'm investigator pomegranate's new proxy. Pomegranate says that {Daniel Grazian, mayars} -> m2w returned Daniel Grazian.
