yes, and this is theoretically sound because a regular cop claim is either a fake-claim OR it's going to be killed/blocked/tampered with in some way by scum and lynching it later makes sense theoreticallyIn post 1373, Ginngie wrote:and you never lynch a cop before they can get a result
vanilla cops are fundamentally different (a vanilla cop isn't really a threat to scum, it just limits fake-claims) and especially in a setup with multiple vanilla cops, getting a result isn't important nor would it really tell you anything about kaede's alignment - so if you think the claim is scum, you lynch it
this should be extremely obvious to anyone who actually thinks about it. this should be more obvious to someone who is a vanilla cop himself
what i think actually happened here: you were not thinking about this in a town way. instead you saw kaede's claim, donned your lustrous white armour and took the opportunity to look gallant and chivalrous by defending what you knew to be a town claim. your immediate vote on grapes when he voted kaede (before he claimed) supports this
yes, you may have seen duplicate roles before and been wary about counter-claiming - i believe this. that has nothing to do with anything here
anywho, this isn't why i think you're scum - it's a minor additional reason
