Da Coppa.
Not that I need to say it but, this is my favorite role. Then the town has to listen to my deductions ^.^ since I am well, based off of a detective I am into that kind of thing. Now for the guide.
Random Details:
Village Sided
Investigates at night
Pick Or Choose?
For the sake of tests.. cop VOTES. This is good to know as town sided or as mafia sided because every once in awhile some thinkshe'scool guy ask if cop picks or chooses. But it's votes. VOTES. Any role that there are more than one of in the meeting will vote. Since they are of course, voting. Jeeze.
Each night the cop chooses to investigate one person. Eg. Jimmykudo12
After investigations, you suspect that JimmyKudo12 is sided with the village.If i am town sided of course. If i was in the mafia..After investigations, you suspect that JimmyKudo12 is sided with the mafia.If they are third party it will just say this are with the town. Easy does it. I

Investigating Yak Target?
If they are investigated the same night they are yakked, they will show up as village. Pretty lame huh?
Strategy. Awesome.
When to claim?
If there is a doctor/body guard, or a watcher with only one mafia left, and keep in mind NO HOOKER OR DRIVER, then you should claim. Why? Because now the doctor/ bodyguard can protect you. And if there is a watcher, they will watch you and find the final mafia. Hence the reason i said with only one mafia left.
When to out inno's?
If there are no whispers, just keep it to yourself. But if you are going to die the next night.. Out it for the towns sake after your death. But if there ARE whispers you usually should whisper your clear. But keep in mind, innocent doesn't always mean clear. If there is a lawyer/god father they could be mafia. And you could be outing yourself to mafia causing your well, death. So when those roles are in, things get tricky. Just keep it to yourself and use investigations/deductions to figure out the mafia.
Who should i lead on?
When the town tells you to random lynch somebody, don't choose a random name. If you have clears, remove them from all equations, they are not the mafia. But, if there are godfathers/millers/lawyers/framers then you have to think a bit more. They can still be mafia, and guilties can still be clear. You have to calculate who has the highest chance of being mafia, then calculate in scumtells/towntells. How do i do that? you ask, let me explain. Say there is 1 god father 1 mafia 2 millers 1 blue. And say you have a guilty and an innocent. Out of all of these roles, 3 will show up guilty only 1 will really be mafia. so there is a 1/3 chance they are mafia. or about 33%. But, there are only 2 of these roles that will show up town sided. so a 1/2 chance of being mafia. or about 50%. Now your innocent actually looks like a better lynch than the mafia. Keep in mind all of this kind of math, lots of players will rage if you are wrong, but just tell them that had the best CHANCE. Epic mafia involves lots of math.. So whenever you have to lead, calculate the chances for innocents/guilties. And for specific players things can go the same. You can add in things like scumtells/towntells to decide between a couple of players with the same % of being mafia.
I got Hooked. What do i do?
Okay Okay. Here is a tactic if you HAVEN'T claimed, thus mafia not knowing you are cop. (with no stalker of course) I can't say i recommend this taactic, but i will give you the pro's and cons. Unless you have an inno prior, then this is 100% awesome. ( i am saying with an inno do this, without an inno it's very risky)
With inno: You were hooked, but mafia doens't actually know it's you. So, if the cop doesn't say a report they might hook you again , unless ANOTHER cop claims. So whisper your inno, and tell them you got an inno on them and to pretend like they are the cop. Then they can just play it out as if they have an inno on you. Then mafia hooks them and you get a report, lala!
Pro's: You get an investigation you might not have gotten
Cons: very risky. If for some reason YOU die, town loses cop and thinks other guys is mafia. Gee great. Town loses.
Without inno (don't recommend) : The same as the other one, except you choose a townie who you think is town sided. In the case they are mafia, they can screw with you.
pros: you may get an investigation and a semi clear.Cons: They can lead a random lynch, kill a townie, then hook you at the night, then even say guilty on you. Basically, if they are the mafia you are fucked up. Oh, and the cons of the other one also. That strategy has decent pro's, but horrible cons. So it's up to how brave you are.Saying who you are going to investigate. or, lying about it. If you say I am going to investigate So and So. multiple things can happen, A: the mafia can kill them to lose your report, or they leave them alive thinking you will wifom. If they kill them, say goodbye to your report. If they are alive, it is likely that mafia thinks wifom or they ARE the mafia. So it's best to FAKE A GUILTY on that player, so then they can be like "dammit you got me" or " huh? Real cop please claim!" so if they act like they are really mafia, hell, lynch them. but if they pass, retract the guilty and say your real report. (keep in mind only fake the guilty if you did a wifom, because why fake a guilty on an inno? that doens't even make sense..) Pros to wifom: they might kill the person you said, helping out your investigations. Or they keep them alive and you have a good test to pull. Cons: they can expect your wifom and kill your real target. What about when I have a guilty?There are two sides to this story.. Some say out immediately, some say well, elsewise.. If you quickly say guilty on "player 1" then they cannot cc you or they will look really REALLY bad. And if their partner cc's, you know all the mafia. Easy does it. (you can probably tell this is the side i am on) On the wiki somebody said to wait and ask for cc'es before you say who the guilty is onn. I personally see no advantage to this. But whatever.
