  1. In a lobby, set the nomination type to Baker.
  2. Have a player nominate another player.
  3. Note that the gold arrows point at the nominated player, but not the grey arrow for the nominator.

This is not a bug, but the intended behavior. Originally, Clocktower was meant to be played so that only the accused would be allowed to make a statement, and the Baker mode reflects that. The nominator will have neither a clockhand arrow, nor a visual highlight.

I feel like it's an unhelpful change though then. The grey arrow doesn't direct people's attention, but what we did have was the moment it was used, people were confused about who exactly nominated (particularly for things like Town Crier), including the nominator. Maintaining the grey arrow, which is subtle, while still having the other focus features of Baker is what I expected, particularly given the description of Baker doesn't indicate any visual changes.

Fair enough, I'll think about it. :-)
