I do hope our cop isn't one of the lurkers

I realize the answer is fairly obvious, but please explain further.

 

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.

1. 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.

2. "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. 3. 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? 4. 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.

5. It's laughable that you think the cop would outlive you after you claimed, without any real provocation might I add, btw.

6. 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.

1. So should I not use the example of what just happend to help explain since the example is now there. If you are trying to go back to my point with MDJ yesterday. When you ask why MDJ I gave you reasons why you should vote him that were current that you are trying to twist into a contradiction.

2. That is also a good reason to not want the cop to be lurking.

3. In this game with such short days and low participation the cop is probably more important than players reads on people. We as a town are doing terrible and so many have said so little it's hard to get readds.

4. I voted for MDJ yesterday, I am not one to really try and tell the Vig what to do although at this point I'm thinking he should shoot you.

5. 2 of the last 3 games I have been MVP so I should be a target to scum as it is :P. Not only that though, as you pointed out I would have been the best choice for the cop to investigate last night so they could have taken out someone who would be cleared. If instead they were trying for the cop if the cop wre to have done his job and cleared me, then the cop would likely get the docs protection and I would likely get the night kill. Or there was also the possibibilty people would get all meta and thinking the role shouldn't be in the game and lynch me. Glad you had a laugh though :)

6. If you are cop and so sure I am scum that you didn't bother to investigate and just plan on letting me die. Good job boss you'll have killed your deputy.
