Looking at Clive's panicky claim I don't feel convinced. Especially since he didn't believe animorph was a cop (as he votes him now right away) and was supposedly "looking useless" while what he did wasn't submarining but just following every wagon that passed...
This:
Clive wrote:I'm thinking scum probably have safeclaims, and animo stole the best one...
Also looks damn wrong to me. Animorph claimed under pressure a credible thing, but why talking about safeclaims? The imagination of a 5yo on crack (no, I'm not talking about Fir

) would be enough to claim "kid with detective badge", and the very fact you reference to safeclaims makes me think you actually find Ani's claim fullproof and felt compelled to put an argument against it.
Clive wrote:"Kid who watched kindergarten cop" is my full rolename, for reference. And yeh it's in blue.
That I kinda find credible. I find it fitting SL's taste for weird roles at least... But Nag has a good point when asking you to expand on it, which coincidentally makes me trust him more. The fact Clive doesn't want (or as he says, 'can't') is pretty revelatory.

QFE. Kalish's suggestion reeks of scumbuddy trying to find an easy way out. Why even wait a night for lynching Ani when it's obvious it would happen in your scenario? I really don't buy the two cops line of thought, as Clive's behavior makes it highly doubtful. Seeing Kalish jumped on MIB instead of Clive when given the chance and now defends him in a biaised way (as basing Ani's lynch on Clive's result works only if you trust Clive), I think we found our first 2 scums.
My vote stays, and
SFOS Kalish in addition.
