I think prof is implying that with a cop scan we can verify the sanity of the cop. If he's telling the truth and the cop is sane, the result will be guilty. If the cop is insane, the result will be innocent. It's a dumb move, though, as it wastes an investigation without knowing prof's alignment.

That's not what I was saying at all, but I can see that this is starting to become a nuisance. I said what I said, and I had a reason to say it. I'm playing my role the way I'm supposed to and I'm not scum of any kind. Let that be the end of it. Again, this is not to test the sanity of the cop, though I will note that you just created an opening for a fake cop claim.


I certainly did not create an opening for a fake cop claim. The cop role is in pretty much every game. If anybody wanted to fake claim cop, surely I wouldn't be the trigger. It's nice to see that you're trying to paint me in bad light for something trivial as mentioning the cop role, though.

day 3)

Vette, about to be lynched claims he investigated Trucks (whom the mafia thinks is the doc): Trucks is scum, I investigated prof night one and trucks night 2, prof was innocent, and trucks was guilty, therefore I'm a crazy cop.

 

See what just happened, doofus? Who is going to counter-claim crazy cop? In fact, last game I pushed ABC to say Trucks was guilty by investigation, only to lead to a series of questions that would in turn point to ABC being crazy. Crazy cop is a very safe scum claim. Furthermore, it's additionally safe because then a scum can go hinting at being a cop, without having any real disadvantage to having the real cop counter. In this way, they can both goad people who are reading between the lines into mislynched while at the same time testing the water to see if a cop even exists. It wouldn't be the first time that there was no town cop, and scum discovered that leading to a false cop claim which went through perfectly because the same game had a red herring miller.
