How did I know DJ wasn't cop, you mean? Well, there was good reason to suspect.
- His play didn't seem to match cop play at all.
- His reluctance to claim made very little sense (his wagon was quickly building up steam and scum almost have to play the game as if he's a cop anyway if he's town (that's more or less how we handled this claim)).
- I was suspicious of him to begin with.
- Ironically, what ended up clinching it for me was CA's reaction. He was basically screaming, "HEY GUYS, DJ'S NOT THE COP, I AM!" Oddly enough, when I thought about it a little bit, his play made a lot more sense as cop play than DJ's play.

I don't, but that doesn't mean I don't do it. I tried to push for the lynch of a claimed doctor Day 1 once who was ridiculously scummy. We ended up lynching mafia instead and our claimed doctor was NKed N1...he was survivor. Basically, I have to have very good reason to believe the person is lying and not have any other candidates whose lynch would be of comparable quality.
BB wrote:Why did you presume, or at least act like you knew he was fake claiming? I'm going to have to do a reread, because it's been at least a week since this thread has been in my head, but weren't you under a lot of pressure? This seems like you bussed DJ, IMO.
As for why I acted like I knew he was fake claiming, it's a two-part answer and you won't like either part.
- I wanted to avoid suspicion for my vote. If I sounded wishy-washy about it and decided to vote him anyway, it would look very suspicious. Avoiding suspicion is (IMO) a townie's second or third most important duty (if no townies are suspicious enough tor mislynch (and assuming there's never a no lynch), you can't lose).
- One of my main reasons for voting him was the fact that CA was probably cop. I was hoping to draw some of the cop suspicion onto myself by sounding overly confident.
I don't recall being under much pressure at the time.

Another two-part answer you probably won't like >.<
- He brought up invalid points IIRC.
- Considering he was probably cop, I was trying to either make it seem like his response was scummier than it was (in case scum weren't paying enough attention (I didn't realize it until I re-read his posts to make the comment that I didn't like his response, so I was hoping scum wouldn't have noticed either)) or to try to draw suspicion from scum off of him by playing off his reaction as a scum tell instead of a cop tell.

What exactly was made clearer to you?
I still want to know this.
