the cop learns the name of one player who is a member of the town before the start of the game.
The cop in this set-up gets a N0 peek on a random townie (i.e. they know a random other person is town). Each day, everyone announces a peek from the previous night, so that scum doesn’t know for sure who the cop is and when the real cop dies we’ll know who their peek is
and this game doesn’t have logs so we have to find another way of communicating that without outing the cop.
hence cop cover.
everyone claims cop and out’s their N0 check, so that when the real cop dies, whoever they said their N0 check is is a confirmed town.
This also means that if scum don’t kill the cop their target’s peeks are still >>rand town because scum needs to kill the cop before they can lock the game and therefore will only kill people with accurate peeks under most circumstances
and this way mafia don’t know who is a cop or not.
Unless a vt claims a cop check on a mafia member.
then they know said player isn’t cop
So do we say a new one everyday then?
Sorry I think I get it now though
Arete, you’re now on my scum list.
Why are you pushing for the cop to reveal? It is not in the best interest of the town for the cop to reveal while they have no information since that puts a target on their back.
have you played cop13 before?
Nope. I’ll reread the rules.
I’m not saying “literally one person should come out and say that they’re the cop” I’m saying “we should all claim to be the cop so that the real cop’s peeks aren’t lost upon death, as part of a well-recognized and highly effective strategy”
I didn’t see this in the rules, I think it’s just a meta thing
Okay you’re off my scum list.
Reeeeeeee! Arete är min N0-check!
Finally someone knows how to spell my name correctly.
So are the language and the image thing a flavor setup. I don’t think I ever got flavor pm’d by eevee so I’m not sure if I’m still ool on some things
can you rephrase the question?
It appears squid is playing to a character
It appears you are not playing the game the way I’m used to seeing you
I’m trying to make reads, or at least trying to try to make reads on people
I think i can kinda see what you are getting at.
squid is doing the swedish thing because they are swedish chef flavor(i haven’t gotten my flavor yet either)
my image thing was for science reasons
Hold on, I’m about to board a plane.
