Jailkeeping a claimed Cop
Theory question: I played a game off site in which I was the jailkeeper. Should a cop had claimed and I was the only protective role alive, what would be pros/cons of jailkeeping that doctor, even if it were only for one NP? On one hand, the doctor would be roleblocked and would be unable to investigate a suspected player. On the other hand, it would prevent the scum team from killing the obvious kill choice and keep one more town player alive.- Creature

Well that depends on a few things.
1. Is it an open setup/is there a reason for scum to believe there is a protective? If so, scum might not kill the cop so it'll just backfire.
2. Is there another obvious kill choice or is the cop suspected by some people? Again, if so, scum might not kill the cop so JKing might backfire.
3. Is there reason to believe scum might have a strongman
4. Is there someone in particular that really needs investigating?
With that said, I think there is definitely some value in getting another lynch (essentially what the JKing the cop does) and, maybe more importantly, WIFOMing scum so they might not kill the cop on future nights.- Raskolnikov

It was similar to sharing is caring.In post 5, Raskolnikov wrote:What are you talking about? If there's a cop and doctor why jailkeep either? Also what kind of setup is that anyways?

There was only a jailkeeper and no actual doctor; thus the only role to protect the claimed cop was the jailkeeper.- Infinity 324

If the cops claiming doctor, don't jailkeep them.

flip a coin on whether or not to jk them. unless you think you can outguess scum in which case do that
I like to say exactly what I'm going to do while also saying I'm not going to and then doing it
Also fun is saying I'm absolutely not going to do something like Docing someone and then doing it anywayJoin me on my quest to play every NES game! Some of them are awful.
Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew - kuribo
