Well as I lean town on Frog, I think its plausible since roles aren't revealed on flip.

^ this is your statement

you think his role is plausible
BECAUSE
roles aren't revealed on the flip.

I am asking you to explain how "roles not reveal on flip" gets you to "town plausibly has a rolecop"


to find the mafia ninja is not a valid response because IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FLIPLESS NATURE OF THE GAME.

to find the mafia strongman is not a valid response because IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FLIPLESS NATURE OF THE GAME.

to find the town princess is not a valid response because IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FLIPLESS NATURE OF THE GAME.

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.
What sense is it to have a VT then?

At least a town!Role cop is more useful than a VT yeah? So why not?

Frogster's role is NAI. There are arguments for it belonging to mafia or town and that cannot be determined without knowing other mafia roles.

The way they went about their claim is what is not NAI. I was not amused when they acted like their role was super important and tried to strongarm the town, I don't know what it means for their alignment.
