Hypocop

This is a strategy I saw on MtgS a time ago, and I wonder if it's a viable one.

Every player reveals an alignment result on another player, as if they had investigated that player.

Pros I can think of:

- The real cop can publicly give his results without being revealed.
- If a mafioso would want to claim cop later on, he might be caught lying.

Cons I can think of:

- Mafia can narrow down the number of possible cops because of the results given in-thread.
- A roleblocked cop will have to give a result, and might accidentally give false information that will be seen as truth after the cop's death.

What do you think? In what type of game would this be viable, if at all? And would this be possible for other roles as well?

I think it would be pretty viable in open setups and newb games, but it might be a little tricky in closed games.
