I was waiting for ender to say all PM's were confirmed before doing any serious discussion, didn't know if we were starting in the day or just waiting for PM confirms before night starts. I guess we're starting in the day then.
I honestly didn't notice the "2 roles missing" until you mentioned it. When I read Conspiracy Theorist - can investigate one player per night for 'paranormal energies' as a role, even though at first I thought "hey, anyone remember Supernatural Hotel?" But I never noticed the 2 missing roles (because the stated roles only pertain to 16 of us but there's 18 players...), so I scrapped the idea of 3rd party roles. Instead I definitely agree with your thought of roles having "paranormal traits." Maybe not all, but some at least.
Conspiracy theorist's wording is a bit strange, since that character, when investigates, seems like it would just get a statement like "this person had paranormal energies!" Does that act like a tracker to see say third-party actions on X player done to them that night, or throughout the game? Or does it act like a cop where they investigate a 3rd party role that is "paranormal."
