rolecop's town utility is to check claims for lies, or i guess maybe find an obvscum role like ninja

it's not particularly good

Nevermind that I make games all the time and sometimes I give roles that most often go to scum to town just to subvert expectations.

Or maybe there's a character that really made sense as a rolecop, and the mid decided that way independent of alignment.

Like I can literally do this all night wanna keep going?

My two cents:

I see why you called him out for it. It was perfectly reasonable to question it.
I also see what Ceph said in response, and it seemed like a perfectly reasonable response.

(That does not make him town, but it does make the argument seem kinda pointless in my eyes. )

But I keep seeing it brought up on so many pages.

i don't think it even makes sense for town to have a role cop

i don't see what utility it would serve if any

the theory you are claiming is not that a rolecop can exist in a large theme or in a game of mafia in general.

but that specifically
the flipless nature of this large theme, makes it make sense that a rolecop exists on the town side


I am asking you why specifically the flipless nature of this game makes role cop make sense

I've already explained why it makes a lot of sense as a scum role for adding utility to scum side.

To find the mafia strongman!

To find the town princess so we don't eliminate them!

To make Pooky think the role confirms scum!

I will hammer Frogster. I have said this before

I still think he will flip town

But the silver lining in that scenario is that at least hopefully Drapion will stop being annoying

finish the thought

why is it plausible for town to have a role cop because roles are not flipped
Finish how? Feels like a complete thought to me.
explain to me why it's plausible for town to have a town role cop in a flipless game.

finish the thought

what is plausible about it, what utility would it serve for the town.
I think it has more scum utility but could have some town power. Without knowing the setup even if we assume Frogger town then we don’t know if he’s town or antitown. He’s probably scum but I just want to think it through.

none of these have anything to do with the flipless nature of the game which is the key contention in your statement

Probably an 11 for my continued enjoyment of the game. Desire to actually be here is plummeting fast.

Probably like, a 7 for actual town win con? This day has reached critical mass to where no one at any point is going to want to look back at it when we have flips, and the longer it gets the more info will be ignored.

I think all the suggestions about what benefit or not a rolecop could do and how scum could react are really antitown and should stop.

The short of it is either you believe Frog or not.
