View original postIf I'm copping, answering shows me to be a cop, and likely about to die.

If I'm not copping, then answering is lying, and I can get caught out that way.

Or am I misunderstanding what we were up to?

I am suspicious of Isaac, but unsure if he is scum. Isn't that enough?


General suspicion is an important part of this game, but that's not really what the hypocop table is for. You suspected Isaac, so you chose to hypocop him, and that's good. But then you said you are unsure of him, and that's not so good.

If you were really the cop, then after investigating Isaac you would know for sure if he was innocent or guilty. If you were really the cop and even after investigating Isaac you were still unsure, then something else is going on and it might be important for us to know about. If your investigation didn't go through, it likely means that you were roleblocked. If, on the other hand, you were the cop and you did investigate Isaac and you actually got a result of "unsure" then I'd probably vote to lynch him anyway.

If you're not the cop, what you say in the hypocop table doesn't matter. Don't worry about not knowing for sure when you post, no one is going to accuse you for lying because of a hypocop. The whole table is effectively just a giant smokescreen to protect the real cop. So if you're not the cop, it's important not to stand out too much, and you must see that your answer does stand out. It indicates, at least to me, that you might have additional information.

Hypocopping is probably a moot point in this game anyway, because I suspect that Taiga was our cop, but some people like to use the table for other roles too.

So next time you should just say innocent or guilty even if you are uncertain.
