The answer being fairly obvious merits little explination but since I have little else to post. We just lost an investigative role who probably never even used his role. So a waste and not helpful to town. I hoped something like this wouldn't happen with the cop. I still hope that. There have been 3 nights to investigate now, he should have something for us to go on. IF he is lurking or nor even participating then it's a waste of a role and hurting the town. With the role I have I know there is a cop out there. Thats why I could say that with confidence and not wonder if we even have one. |
I really hate how you're using future information to explain earlier stuff. Fortunately for me and not so much for you, your answer actually contradicts your original statement AND completely missed the obvious.
"Lurkers" by nature of the term are reading the thread and still "participating" in the game, just not posting. A lurker is likely to survive longer at night and therefore have more investigations to share when finally claiming. Here's what you missed as being obvious: A normal townie might fear a lurker cop, because with the short days they may not be able to actually claim before being lynched. A normal deputy wouldn't want the cop to die, but shouldn't really fear it either since the power is passed along. But you're even more extreme, as you think the cop isn't even making investigations. Since you seem to think it's so important(and it is, but in the grand scheme of Mafia it isn't really) why wouldn't you try to prevent the power from continuing to be wasted? You should have pushed for a lurker lynch and maybe even urged Spurge(heh) to shoot one of them in order to take it by force. The latter is true whether you would believe the vig claim or not as it's also a means to help prove it finally.
It's laughable that you think the cop would outlive you after you claimed, without any real provocation might I add, btw.
Furthermore, any cop worth his salt should have investigated you last night. So that if he were to die he could leave town knowing if they could trust your claims or not. I believe it'd be redundant at this point for the cop to claim a guilty scan on you, but in the event I'm wrong they should save you from the gallows.
