Practically everything went wrong for us. And we still won. I think part of why we still won was it wasn't as imbalanced or as bad as it looked.

Yeah I'm not even talking about overall balance. Just the philosophy of the day 1 killing role itself is so rotten.

Like I'm recalling a time when I was mafia, played a perfectly fine day 1, knew there was exactly 1 town who would focus me no matter what, tried to shoot that player night 1, and our shot was directly roleblocked and that town was exactly cop who scanned me.

The case I lay out here is way different and just more unlucky circumstances, but point being, it feels really awful when you're just wiped out for such a tiny, tiny shred of a thing. That's how it goes sometimes! But that can be minimized.

I don't like cop as a role I don't think. The information is too concrete. Yes I know godfather and miller exist, but I love trying to read the game and figure out why people are doing stuff. Cop has a random gut and scans you, whoops you dead. That's kind of what Ben's scan on Death was. He doesn't read Death well, so I'm just going to scan him and not bother getting a solid read. I think if I use cop I don't do godfather or miller, just have like a 80/20 probability of getting the right scan. Or I just use other scanners that aren't as likely to be damning or clearing.
