Did you stop to think what were the possible interactions ??? With so much information (Remember that the medium recovers the dead's people information) town can probably logically deduce scum.  With enough effort.
The medium would indeed find the dead people's info, but then again, roleclaiming as a medium would be suicide.

Hmm, does the Guardian have a higher chance than usually of appearing in the game?

Probably not. Between the medium being guardian and bodyguard central, the chance of a dopp or cultist medium, and the chance of WIFOMing the town, not killing the Medium wouldn't be that bad.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

Actually, yes, on the off chance that there is both a dopp and a town medium things could get rather interesting.

Worse, a dopp and a cultist medium.

basically, the scum medium needs to not post in the dead chat and wait for people to discuss the game...

Then feed that info to his team...

Suggested role
Improved Doppleganger
Visible Role: No Role
    Race: Doppelganger
    Goal: Kill
    Rules: A mutation in your genes has removed your ability to shape shift.  Although this does not alter your behaviors while alive, you find you permanently appear 'human', even after death.
    Victory: Doppelgangers Win



Simply put, it acts like a normal dopple while alive, and will react the same to investigations, BUT will roleflip 'human townie' when lynched or nightkilled.  Think of how often the town uses the rollflip to determine scumminess.  Imagine if even THAT becomes suspect.

Too evil?

Yeah, if it doesn't say their alignment it should help weaken the power of the medium a bit.

The first post of the Dead Chat will say how many Mediums there are. It will not state the alignment of the mediums, so the dead truly cannot trust the mediums unless they get some information on them.

Although, if it says there are three mediums, they will know that one of them will be human.

The question is though, HOW could a medium prove that they are townie?
