Murder By The Book - Ender's Game

why the heck would pala as scum use a daycop on me? Or if he didn't know what it does, why again would he do that?

(emphasis mine)

Just noticed this from late Day 4 and realized that there are some things about Slorange's role that aren't supposed to be hidden now that the role's dead, so I'm going to clear them up in case anyone's confused.

Recipients of Slorange's pies did not receive any indication of the effect before using it. They were also required to use the pie, whether eating it or throwing it, within the next day/night cycle.

Note that this is not confirmation of the pie's speculated effect. This is only an explanation of how it would work if the pie in question was produced through Slorange's ability. (I am not confirming whether or not I've secretly included other pies that use different rules somewhere in the setup, use your own judgement on that point.)
