So I suppose I was right to be cautious and vote for NL during the Day, because Apple would have gotten free reign over the lynch, and probably would have won the game afterward because of it.
Though, I suppose I could point out a few flaws in Apple's claim. First and foremost, this quote...
...is made directly after my post stating that I'm the Cop. If he were really the Cop, would he not have counter-claimed right away? It automatically confirms you two (Uttamori & lightningbolt50) as Town. Clearly he was trying to weigh his options before he tried to go through with anything, and decided that he could have a better shot at beating me one on one than one of you two.
Second of all, he hides his claim behind yet another "reaction test," just like that one that led him to vote for Byngo. Why does he need to test my reactions to things if he's the real Cop? He should know with ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CERTAINTY that I'm lying about my claim, rather than having to test the waters before thinking that I'm a liar. This would have led to a near immediate counterclaim from anybody who knows that either A) they're the real Cop and somebody else is lying, or B) they planned to counterclaim from the get-go as Mafia. He was already delayed in his counterclaim, meaning that neither of these two scenarios applies. This reflects back to my first point, in him weighing his options before trying to fight.
Third of all, reflecting back to the quote again, why would he agree that not lynching is the best course of action, only to then proceed to vote for me in the last hour of the Day. The explanation for this one is simple: he thought he was going to pull a fast one on us and vote for a free lynch, essentially giving him the game, but was forced into other actions when I placed the NL vote. Clearly NL is not what he was planning on, and he's forced into panic due to the situation we've come to now.

So, that's what I've got against him. I'd like to at least see more effort into scum reading people than reaction tests now. That works in early game and in EpicMafia, but it's not going to work here.
You are right. Unfortunately, it is too late to lynch. All we can do is wait, but our victory is guaranteed.
