Alright, I've been considering it for a while now and I've made my decision..
With all these town claims, we've brought ourselves to quite a special scenario. It might either be or key to victory, or it might bring us to hell.
What do we really know about all these claims? Very little, not a single one has been confirmed. And although some sound very likely and acceptable, I can hardly believe there are so many claims without the mafia having succesfully infiltrated these ranks as well.
JC, the main reason I reacted so fierce against you, and still the reason I'm suspicious about you, is that I felt like you aimed to draw out the cop, to pressure him into roleclaiming.
As a cop, I've been thinking a lot about how to react to all these claims. Initially, I had no intention of roleclaiming. But with all this many town claims, I'm starting to believe it will become to dangerous to simply accept all of them. Like I said, these claims might either bring us victory or it might bring us to hell, depending on the truth about these claims.
Do not see my claim as a claim like the others. To be honest, one of the last reasons I still doubted at the end was that there have already been this many claims, and I'm not particularly fond of a near-mass roleclaim. Hence, do not see my claim as such, it is rather a counter-claim. I'm not claiming for my defense, to avoid gettig lynched, I'm claiming so that I can confirm the true claims and destroy the fake ones. I don't think that as a cop I've got another choice.
Tonight I will investigate Mellow Ezlo. I think his claim is very fishy, it is an unusual one for sure. Tomorrow I will present my results.
