Then it's more likely that he's pulling some sort of gambit... so hopefully this doesn't blow up in his face like my "I'm the cop except I'm fake claiming as a vanilla townie" gambit did.S~V~S wrote:Another possibility is that we have no clue what he is doing.MovingPictures07 wrote:Another possibility is that Boomslang has a tracker-like role card (doesn't have to be a straight up cop), thinks he saw LC killing last night (?), and is going after him as a result.

Um, and gotcha re peeks. With the colors and I have heard that in some games there is a civ peek before the game or something to that effect, I was not sure they were the same thing.
Correct, yeah, in a typical Thingyman-Mafia Championship type setup (which has largely been adopted for these early Heist games), the cop receives a randomly selected "green peek", essentially a free role check but ONLY on a townie to start the game. The reason it's restricted to green randomization only is for balance reasons (otherwise the cop would literally start the game with a confirmed mafia down, and could potentially end the game completely after N2). But every time he sends in a "role check" in subsequent Nights, you could also say he's sending in a "peek", same thing really.
