Post Hoc

Post Hoc is an argument in which someone uses the fact that something happened before an event as evidence that that thing caused the event to occur. For example:
- Player A: I think Player X should roleclaim.
- Player X: I'm a Cop
Player X is later Night Killed
- Player B: Player X was killed because they claimed cop. Player A made Player X claim. Die scum!
This logical fallacy is sometimes used as an attempt to make it look as though a player is using OMGUS, when in fact, they aren't.
