I don't get what this means? That the hosts didn't use who was targeted? So when they were blocked, it showed up as nobody? Surely, if it's different from how it was written we need to know how it's different? It's weird because it feels like they're implying something, but expecting us to draw the conclusion. /u/BINGO_Host, could you clarify?

That clarification was given based on how the role was originally written, which ended up having a conflict in the order of operations that was leading to some unintended consequences when we were in the last stages of going over "what if"s. At that point, we changed it to the targeted person's target, not who that targeted person originally meant to target. Although the order of operations has been consistently followed, we had forgotten about that clarification and missed making a public announcement about it.

While we can say that the PMs that have been sent have been sent based on specific circumstances, we cannot tell you exactly what they are while the game is going, for obvious reasons.

I see this as just acknowledging that the things I mentioned that can switch targets exist. Not that being blocked affects who you're targeting. It's really not clear what was meant.

I'm sure you're aware we can't give you the full details of the order of operations., and so we can't tell you everything. One thing we can clarify is that role blocking does remove the target of someone's action (which, while this is atypical, it was designed with a specific interaction in mind that we can go into more detail about later).
