That was a real bonehead move "/"
I don't believe you would be that high up on the list of people the scum want to kill, you just aren't that important.
But since you Roleclaimed there are two possible outcomes:
1. You're telling the truth: Now the scum have a proven townie powerrole that can't protect itself at night for an easy-picking night 1 kill. Killing off the cop early is very beneficial for the mafia: Cops get more helful as the game goes on. So, you're banking on a doctor to protect you. Maybe he will for Night 1, but that leaves you wide open still for Night 2, 3, 4. The doctor can't protect you every night, and a smart scum group might wait till tommorow night to kill you off, when the doctor is off protecting somebody else. You're as good as dead, basically.
2. You're not the night cop: If you aren't a townie cop, under the Lynch-all-Liars rule, we should lynch you next. Also, it implies you are scum. The only reason a scum would roleclaim at this point in the game is to try to invoke a counterclaim, which would in turn give the scum a Night kill. This is silly, if you AREN't the cop, but somebody else is, that other person SHOULD NOT claim. Instead, investigate "/" tonight and find out what he really is, this could give us a great day 2 lynch.
So, you've just left yourself out to dry, and it sounds like you're trying to take Fircoal with you. In general, I think most mafia games have it so the good cops don't know who the bad cops are, just because it gets rid of a bunch of mystery and gameplay. I don't believe your claim that Fircoal is a bad cop, until I see some more substantial evidence.
