You're right, a combined cop/vig would be another possibility for Gandalf. That one should become clear as the game proceeds. If on future nights we end up with some zapped dwarves, we'll know it's a SK. On the other hand, if the lightning kills disappear, it would make the combo role more likely. (Although even here, we'd have to account for possible doc protection or another roleblocker.)Success breeds suspicion-

I really doubt Gandalf would be an SK. Sounds more lke a rampaging vigilante with a vendetta.
Either way, I have no opinion to add, I dont think this whole Gandalf issue is gong to get us anywhere. Like any night 1, we are better just just picking someone at random and killing them dead.ShowElvis_Knits: "IS you are a sexist schmuck, for real"

IS is always quite difficult to read properly as he does not change his play style based on his alignment. Of course, to my recollection I have yet to play a game with him, so I'm only basing this on games I have read with him in them.
My take on the whole lightning thing, whoever did it was/is new. Killing first night if you're a serial killer of vigi is completely moronic, as it either kills any chance of claiming vigi and being believed or alternatively you have an incredibly high chance of killing a teammate, great either way. The only exception imo, is if you have a role whose killing method cannot be used by a pro-town player, i.e. Smaug and roasting someone, lightning doesn't count as one of those in my book though.
Additionally, the idea of a cop/vig combination role that can investigate and then kill depending on the investigation is at best unadvised. In order to balance the game properly you would have to increase the strength of the evil groups and then what happens if that role dies, well then the game is unbalanced. For further reference read what antrax has to say in . . . well that's unexpected, meh, here's the link as no one would be able to find it without knowing exactly what I'm talking about (and looking at the player's list only a few have likely read it). For some reason it isn't in the theory link unless you type it in

what also could be posssible is that gandalf is a vigi and has to target someone each night or that his target gets killed when he's evil and get doc protection if he's pro-town, but this is just a wild guess.

Ooo...good article. Thanks Tigris, I hadn't seen that before.
I do think Antrax went a bit farther than just a cop/vig in his "don'ts", though -- he had a combo character that couldn't be lynched or killed. I'll agree that a cop/vig combo is likely too overpowering in this game, as with (if that were true) three scum groups out there that role is bound to hit somthing at a pretty high rate. I don't think Murk's suggestion is possible, as it isn't a good idea to complicate matters more than necessary.
One-shot SK would be silly as a role. If Gollum were an anti-town role that had to find Bilbo, as Argoti suggested, that would be more likely. At any rate, there's only so far this kind of speculation is likely to get us.
IS, I thought you were volunteering for a bandwagon back there. I'd be happy to comply with that request...Success breeds suspicion-
