Since nobody knows what the rules are now that Jpappy is dead, and I feel particularly vulnerable along with DD (and Ogre too, I suppose)... I'm going to post all I can to get these thoughts out there for the town to work from. Before anything else happens.
I'm not sure which way to view this role.
1. An assassin (whether good or evil - as in KGB or CIA) could be Wycco's equivalent of a Serial Killer role. If that's true, then it's a solitary player who kills independently and probably doesn't know anything more than other players do.
2. But... this could also be a small squad of assassins working together, in which case this means they'd be a communicating evil team... aka a regular mafia team with hits. If this is true, they may or may not be given investigations too.
Does anyone know or care to comment?
