If you're a modified cop check who you want to check

If you're a regular cop check according to the list and pretend you checked who you wanted to check unless you get a guilty/no result on the person you checked in the list
'pretend you checked who you wanted to check'; how will that work? do we only speak up if we didn’t get an inno and otherwise remain silent?
If we were Town Cop and would want to check Koba as a Disloyal Town Cop we'd Town Cop Black (according to the list) and say we have an inno on Koba

This lets the modifier cops post their results without immediately being obvious from deviating from the list while still letting them check who they want to check. If someone flips Town Cop later in the game it means they got an inno on the person in the list (since otherwise they'd have come out as Town Cop with a guilty/no result)
Ok, but say modifier cops hold back results until Day 4. if we haven’t got a maf out yet, we‘ll be at 4vs3 ELO (assuming 3 scum) and now we don’t have enough time to properly dissect a CC. won’t this just lead to chaos
You get CCs out the way the day before ELO, the same thing would be happening even without this strat

The exact setup doesn't as long as scum don't know it's an all cop game, do you think the gamestate supports this or not?
Tbh if you have 3 godfathers it doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to figure out that alianna might troll and give town multiple cops
As opposed to trolling mafia by giving town one of the roles that bypass Godfather? Pretty sure we posted a list of those at some point
Ok, so there’s lots of claim opportunities for Drew

This would require scum Drew to not only expect Disloyal Cop to be the designated cop type but also expect that everyone's some type of Cop (Since otherwise if not he'd be claiming the second ungated cop in a mini which would be an incredibly tough sell compared to just shooting Lap at night)
If Drew is a godfather wouldn't he see the disloyal cop as the biggest threat to him and try to convince others to push the wagon through like he did?
Pretend the setup is
Setup
  1. Mafia Godfather

  2. Mafia Godfather

  3. Mafia Godfather

  4. Town Disloyal Cop

  5. Vanilla Townie

  6. Vanilla Townie

  7. Vanilla Townie

  8. Vanilla Townie

  9. Vanilla Townie

  10. Vanilla Townie

  11. Vanilla Townie

  12. Vanilla Townie

  13. Vanilla Townie


What does scum Drew believably claim that lets him get away with immediately believing that Lap is fake claiming while also being a balanced questionable setup
Also there’s like no way that’s the setup what?? Why would scum have godfathers if we have a disloyal cop and nothing else, it’s just like having a cop on normal scum. And why would we have a setup with only one town PR that can easily be killed?? You’re not making any sense

VOTE: usesPython

so close to my mission of voting everyone, coming for you Hu Tao
The setup was an example one to illustrate why Drew claiming cop as scum believably only works in a full cop game, we literally had a mass claim where everyone claimed cop
If Drew is on an all-godfather team, he’s aware he can claim cop and the cop is effectively a VT. He can always get someone to suggest Godfathers being the rulebreak if need be

The day before ELO will be Day 3 (9 people alive), assuming we don’t get a scum here. So then whats the point of everyone claiming results if real modifier cops have to make it clear they’re real anyway?

Ooh I just had another thought; what if scum were informed to some degree? So they didn’t get caught out in a massclaim? Seems plausible. Like they are informed that the majority of town players are cops.

The only thing we'd consider a cop crumb is but given that you also crumbed VT like 3 times and Bulletproof in it raises the question of what the point of the crumbs even were given that you could have believably claimed not-cop and pointed to crumbs

I seriously doubt the person who hammers a somewhat strange-looking claim is always voted off the next day. So it’s not really trading a scum member. how about if there’s like a 2-shot doctor? If you don’t push Lap you’re in deep trouble. Scum!Drew was in a rush though. He didn’t have much time to consider all possible scenarios and likely just thought fading Lap seemed safest and most optimal in the heat of the moment.
