JEEP's Tells for Finding the Cop
OK, so this one is a little tougher. It requires that you judge the general category of the players. There is also a lot of interpretation about what constitutes "hesitant."
Generalities about cops
Newbies refuse to vote for a person "without evidence" and often blatantly try to derail bandwagons of innocents (don't confuse with Masons though). Intermediate experienced players are hesitant to vote without proof Advanced players don't put FIRST vote on someone unless they have investigation
Cops often show up as "linked" to one or two people early in the game. More on that in the relevant article.
Usually, the people looking for cops are mafia and doctors.
As mafia
- If someone tags a vote on one of you and never lets up (esp. 1st day), that person is likely cop
- If someone tags a vote, then quickly "confirm" votes, that person is likely cop
As doctor
- Look for an early voter who never changes vote.

On another note, I re-wrote it this morning because I lost the original... it's probably in the same place as the missing poems for Seuss Mafia. If I find it, I'll merge the original in.
