C'mon guys Robik was obvious.
OnceKing I thought was kinda easy to see too but I can understand missing him.
GG scumteam thanks for shooting me N1 NOT mad  let's keep it constructive, guys. Eden was shot because he was doing a good job of having reads and leading town; he was a good shot. If you get shot n1 as a townie, it's typically because scum is afraid you'll catch them. Getting shot is a sign of respect. Can confirm. Same goes for RJ. We thought that sqrt would end up being a mislynch, so even though I read him as blue at the beginning of d1, we decided to keep him alive and keep RB'ing him instead of NK'ing him.
imo this was the right move all the way, only thing I might consider mixing up was shooting RJ over me N1 but either way I think we were the clear nk choices
sqrt was def. medic so gj reading that and shutting him down

It's not a cop, though. It's a parity cop. This is an important part of the decision process because a parity cop, more likely than not, isn't going to clarify the game state very well, especially if that parity cop's identity can never be verified. I read Cavalinho as scum -- falsely, yes, but I read him scum -- and enough people did to get a majority lynch on him out of the town (4/7). I simply do not believe that the claim "would have worked itself out" like everyone is saying, because Cavalinho's credibility was in question, and there's no data in the game that would allow the town to falsify his claim were he scum (barring something flukey like him giving a "same" result on two guys that flipped opposite alignments, or doctor claiming rb'd and then lynched w/no cop counterclaim, but pls). If he were a regular cop I'd have probably let Cavalinho live, but the parity cop as a role just isn't useful, so I felt no qualms about lynching my top scum read in that circumstance.

OK's biggest scum "tell" (not in the sense of a formal tell but what let me tell he was scum) was the awkward and quick backtrack off of Valenius on D...2? D3? Whichever day.
I wouldn't have caught him on merit alone though. I had a post later in the /obs QT about the LYLO pairings; the only way I'd have really caught OK was working with my scumread on Robik and townreads on sqrt and Valenius and then working backwards through the pairings (Robik is trying to get Tolkien lynched at LYLO over sqrt, so they're not partners, ergo Robik/OnceKing scumteam).

Maybe so (re: underestimating) -- I've only seen the role in play once, at the end of one of the other newbie games (53 I think? right before I signed up for this game). It kinda created a mess there since the cop got "OPPOSITE" results, meaning that everyone voted for the opposite guy in their single pairing and let the cop hammer. If you catch scum in the first 2 days then it's pretty powerful yeah.
But there's a high chance it's not especially useful (what if he gets an OPPOSITE result? or you don't catch scum before D3?), and it was virtually certain to be a distraction in D2 and beyond. (Say what y'all will, here and in the QT; I'm not convinced, especially given the ending here, that people would have successfully sat aside the cop discussion and looked around elsewhere.)
I'm not defending the lynch as right, obviously since Cavalinho WAS the cop it was wrong, but I'm not convinced this was nearly as open-and-shut as everyone is acting like it is.
