This would be an absolutely wild scum play given that they literally just lost a player last night and it's day two I guess but I still don't like it very much.
Although I can't put my finger on why because I wanted to lynch aC anyway, I guess I just don't like roles coming out.
I am interested in why you would ask aC what his role is before killing him though.
What benefit is that if he's going to die and flip anyway? Is there anything he could say that would change your mind about killing him, given that if he's that important a town player and not lying he'll probably get killed tonight anyway, and if so then why did you claim?
People aren't going to counter claim him if he says he's a doctor or whatever, it's day two.
Like think about this, if aC is actually scum and lies to you:
1) You don't believe him, he dies anyway, worth a shot.
2) You don't kill him, so he gets to live a bit longer using a fake claim and just outed yourself for no reason. Also, maybe now we also believe him and so people waste their time trying to protect aC from night kills that weren't going to target him anyway.
And if aC is town with a useful role and tells the truth:
1) You don't believe him, he dies anyway, we didn't learn anything extra from this reveal.
2) You don't kill him, so now scum knows what role he has and either kills him or gets free reign to kill whoever else because anyone we have who can protect people has to do that now. We still don't gain anything.
If you're not confident enough to kill aC you shouldn't have revealed yourself to start with.
If we go with this gambit as our plan then fine, but then we don't want to spend all day talking about whether aC's role claim is a lie or not or we didn't gain anything by spending the additional 60 hours talking because that question will just be answered when he's dead.
