Ethics?: Trusting the Mod part 2

[TemporalLich]

Results interference (e.g. Miller, Godfather, Ninja, Gravedigger) is well known as a countermeasure to investigative roles, and Miller and Ninja are even Normal roles. Results interference is an ability that interferes with results PMs, so it isn't game mechanically a lie even though it is a lie according to most people.

Arbitrary results interference (e.g. Framer, Lawyer, Tailor) is when results interference is no longer a result of the target's role, but someone else's role. Arbitrary results interference feels like it is in a grey area between not bastard and bastard. Arbitrary results interference is theoretically not bastard as with perfect knowledge of the setup your results PMs make sense assuming all role PMs are true, though a game with a lot of arbitrary results interference is very confusing.

Inverse Cop is bastard as it results from a lie in the role PM. It is not expected for there to be lies in the role PM.
