Gator = Interrogater. Same as Jailor but sides with maf.
In terms of roles, judging by Notty and Stranger, there are two roles that can make meetings happen potentially, w/one actively participating and the other making them happen. Like a party host or matchmaker shtick, which usually = town/3P. And then there's a potential third meeter/watcher that might fake actions/messages. Don't buy the latter, but the former are credible. Doubt there would be two meeting claims and one wouldn't be genuine.
Early game mass claims are fine only if they are full; holding back/crumbing/etc. makes it bad for info. I'm for it if everyone plays ball.
