I'm not trying to make anyone feel ignorant, and I may be wrong. However, it's unusual, in my experience, for the town to have a role-cop.
First of all, a role-cop is more valuable to scum than town. It's in the town's best interest to determin alignment, so they can find the scum. It's in the scum's best interest to discover abilities, so they can murder people in the most effective way.
Moreover, in a game with such thick flavor as this (where the roles are almost unrecognizable), getting a report of "Triskelion, Metal Fleet," in which 'Metal Fleet' could be either the role, the alignment, or the metal status, I'm struggling to see how a role-cop would be valuable at all, to either side.
I think it's unreasonable to expect that the town 1. Give the Serum to a metal detector, 2. Have that metal detector check a suspects metal status, 3. Dip that suspect in mycosyth, and 4. Hang that suspect. Now we are talking 3 nights to kill one scum.
Looking at it again, I would say "Triskelion" is the Role, and "Metal-Fleet" is alignment/faction. Sadly, this does not agree with what MSSK has, himself, told us.
So I'm even more confused
