Built around three one-time cop checks. Mafia can fake-claim Jack. Think before you shoot!

### Town Roles

Bozoman, 2 Jack, Photographer, 4 Villager

## Description

Designed around a trio of single-use investigatives, One-Shot Cops offers mafia a convincing way to fake-claim Jack. The powerful mafia team neuters Jack's ability to shoot, and Diva/Bozoman provide enough WiFOM such that no check is ironclad. This is a new setup, so the meta is still evolving.

This is commonly run under the CC VC Mafia Ruleset

## Play

What follows are basic role guidelines for this setup.
There are certainly more optimal strategies!

### Photographer

Consider taking a picture near the end of day 1 of your biggest sus (unless they're looking like the vote already). You could also do the same day 2. Alternatively, if you have a strong townread receiving many votes, you can photograph them to keep them alive another day.

Optionally, you can claim at the end of day 1 so a Jack will save you, or for WiFOM.

When you receive your photo the next day, if mafia (hopefully not bozoman), out with their role immediately. Otherwise, regardless of whom you photograph, just say they are town.

If photographer thinks they are outed, they can claim before end of day to be potentially jack saved. Mafia hitting photo first night costs town 2 confirms.

### Jack

As the strongest town PR, the Jack's goal should be to protect confirms and hopefully red check a mafia. Checking night 1 is probably optimal, unless it's not. If town pushes another PR claim day 1, consider saving them.

Jack can only kill 1 of the 3 mafia, and 1 of them will kill a town instead of shot. **Think twice before shooting.** And then a third time. Often town is more likely to win when Jack is smart enough to holster. Good mafia can bait your shot, especially Trancer, leading to disaster for town. If Trancer is dead, Jack is more free to shoot their sus.

### Villager

Standard stuff: hopefully vote on mafia, try to die at night. Not really a setup to Fakeclaim PR, since Jacks must consider saving PR's. Oh, and hope you don't get photographed as the bozo.

### Grandpa

As Grandpa, you are immune to Jack shots. You will be notified of who shot or checked you, so you can claim the next day. You likely want to have fake jack notes handy.

### Trancer

Trancer can almost assure a mafia win if they can be shot by the Jack. Fake-claiming jack is one strategy if two Jacks are alive. If only one Jack alive, fake claiming will likely backfire: you will either get condemned, or you get the jack condemned, so you cannot be shot.

Trancer's best bet is to redirect to confirmed town, but if Trancer wants to fake claim Jack after being shot, they might want to redirect to a player they have sussed and claim the shot the next day.

### Diva

Aside from the obvious PR-hunting here, Diva can upend a town circle if they are sussed by town and flip blue.

Diva can *also* fake claim Jack here, especially if they hit the Jack the previous night. If they win the CC war, Jack dies and Diva gets another night's check. Remaining jack is also less likely to shoot them and assume they are Trancer. If they lose the cc war, real Jack is likely not long for the world the next day.
