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.

The numbers

First non-random vote +10
"Not quite random" votes day 1 +10
Quick vote change first day +5
Repeated "hesitance" to change vote +10
Raw Newbie looking for REASONS to vote day 1 +10
Newbie that has played a couple games looking for REASONS to vote day 1 +20
Intermediate player looking for REASONS to vote day 1 +40
Advanced player commenting on how they are not random voting +10
Intermediate/Advanced player probing for cop hints +10
Subtle "confirm vote" (Good thing I'm already voting for him!) +10
repeat Confirm Vote +15

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.
