Same goes for you though, VG. If you are scum, you knew that the cop had an investigation today as well (in this case it would be you, your scumbuddy, and Qvist). You fish for the counterclaim, use the fact that you want everyone to claim to deduce the cop is Qvist and track him while he posts. Qvist, if he is the real cop, could have just as easily had an incriminating result which you were afraid of him having, so you fishing for him was entirely a plan to set him up to fail.
You keep giving reasons that are reasons why either of you can be cop...
It's not the same, because I made the claim
when I didn't have to.
Scum wouldn't want to fakeclaim Cop today
if they can avoid it. What they were hoping was that the Cop had "only" a town investigative result (or, even better, tried to investigate Eevee and thus had no info at all), thus giving them a chance to kill the Doc tonight and the Cop tomorrow before the entire scumteam is outed.
I expect that if I had claimed Cop and, in the same breath, said I had "only" an investigation result
on town, then they would NOT have counterclaimed and instead laid low. The only reason they are fakecounterclaiming is because they felt they absolutely HAD to do so.
Side note: there's nothing in Qvist's Day 3 posts before his fakecounterclaim to suggest he could be the Cop. Remember is lukewarm response to the counterclaim idea. A new Cop player who hasn't already claimed would not react that way.
