Well, I thought we established it acts as something different than a roleblock. It DOES make sense if the only action is to screw up cop readings, considering there were so many. But a roleblock? Seems unlikely to me.
I have another question, too. Do recruited members reveal as being recruited upon death? Are we able to rule out all of the previous mafia as being recruited for this reason?
YOU might have established that. Who says there wasn't a block on either me or Pyro that night? With that many roleblockers I'd say that is certainly possible.
