Edit in bold below:
So if we talk through the sequence of events:
- You scan an inactive player as TOWN
- Option 1 is to keep this information to yourself. This does not expose you as cop. Option 2 is to share this information, but you should be aware that with a doctor dead, you have no one to protect you through to tomorrow.
- If you go with Option 1, and you see other players putting pressure on the player that you scanned, you get frustrated. But you don't know that that Player is a POWER role, only that they are town. They could be a vanilla. As cop, it wouldn't make sense to out yourself just to save a vanilla who has contributed effectively nothing, and has not proven their worth to you in any way. Why would you suicide for that player?
- If you go with Option 2, then you must surely know that you are dying tonight and you should be doing everything in your power to make your remaining time worthwhile, and solving the game. So far all you've really done today is... weakly accuse two players who are suspicious of someone who replaced an inactive player, and has basically been inactive themselves.
