I don't think their will be a Cop claim simply because the NPC Shaq was killed before the game started and it was stated he was a cop. Couple this with the fact that there was the obvioius all-stars vs non-all-stars and the cop would have been overpowered in my opinion (or OP imo if you will).

After reading the claims against me, the fact that I actually believe Yogurt's claim as a roleblocker, and the fact that I didn't follow thru with the all-stars theory into Day 4 have given me a change of heart. In a game like this, there might be something to the fact that TCS's name claim was a replacement or whatever.
I can only think of 4 possibilities at the moment. Correct me if there are any other likely possibilities. 4 didn't come to me until after my analysis.
1. There's a Doctor who protected the victim. No Doctor has come forward as of this post.
2. The scum simply decided to not kill anyone during the night. Seems very unlikely.
3. I'm scum and was effectively roleblocked by Yogurt.
4. There is a doctor but the scum didn't kill anyone anyways. Also unlikely.
Analysis:
1. Assuming no doctor comes forth, I'll likely be lynched because it's the only explanation for the no death of Night 3 assuming possiblity 2 isn't true. This will then lead to a Night 4 with 5 people. Yogurt will likely be the target and since there's no doctor (as we're assuming for this analysis), his only hope will be to luckily roleblock the mafia player. Given the 25% of this, let's assume he guesses wrong and we're left with 4 people and no roleblocker. If we (well, you guys I guess) lynch a townie on Day 5, mafia wins. I smell a lot of "if" on that, but if you read the next paragraph, you'll see some explanation for why this might be the case.
2. and 4. The only reasons I can guess for scum not killing on Night 3 assuming I wasn't roleblocked and the as of yet unclaimed doctor didn't save someone, would be to force a numbers game. As it stands now, we're back to a even number of people during the Day (we shouldn't have had a modkill on Day 1 resulting in 9 people on Day 2). Any odd number during the day is bad for the mafia due to the fact that Day 5 (for this game) would end up with 2 townies and 1 mafia. Not a good ratio. Either townie has a 50% chance of casting the right vote to win the game. In other words, on Day 5, if a townie votes for the mafia, there's no way the mafia can cast the second vote to kill himself and the other townie knows this. Thus, Day 5 winds up being a 50% chance of mafia victory (assuming no power roles mess with the percentages).
3. The easiest and most logical explanation. I hold little hope for myself. Although it is interesting to think that the mafia guy had to assume there's at least a doctor and/or a roleblocker. I have to respect the confusion that could be caused by not killing someone when he's all alone simply to cast doubt on the person roleblocked. It would (and probably will) cause the person roleblocked to get lynched and the identity of the roleblocker to come forth (and/or possibly the doctor). A bit of a gamble but considering the 2 above scenarios (even or odd number of people during the day), not a bad strategy I suppose.
I'll have to think more on the implications on who I should vote for based on what I just wrote. I suppose I'll wait for feedback. It's kinda fun to be on the burner for once.
