How to deal with a Cop Guilty? (N0/N1)

There's probably something to be said by claiming that you have a guilty result and then forcing the players to react to that long before you actually reveal the result. If you run into bad enough players (Probably should say players playing badly enough.) you might be able to get more scum to out themselves by thinking they are the guilty without actually saying so.

I was a pt cop with an investigative result on a Mason and almost got lynched for doing this.

Lacking full context but a guilty on a mason sounds like a bastard game.

If you were withholding an innocent result there's basically no value in doing a gambit on that like there is with a guilty on scum. Withholding an innocent result only risks getting that inno lynched.

Oh, then it's nothing at all like what I was suggesting then.

Well in the case of a full cop there is information to be gained from the gambit I described. As a PT cop you might not even have the right information necessarily. The fact that the role can end up outing masons is certainly not a good thing.

I wonder if any mod has used the role without having town qt roles?
