Please don't shoot the messenger. Personally have no idea how 99 and Zae are cleared through hobo becoming hugh, they're yet to fully explain what they were able to do by taking that role, though I'll ask. If I'm honest not sure if I trust investigative roles. So far all role announcements have been green, including the announcement from Nic confirming Nani's role, the flips however have been pink, could just be that Hobo and Nic are yet to claim roles (would being Hugh actually count for this?), but could also be that 'taking a role' overwrites our original role card for investigative powers.
Nic's saying he didn't actually take that role, just did the announcement on Nani's role. Not sure how that effects things?
