Didn't quite work out that way, did it! The mafia lost the roleblocker and confirmed the real cop in the process. Oops! Great work by the town in ruining the best laid plans and seeing through the ruse.
It didn't so much backfire as much as it went the more complicated route. I tried to set things up so that regardless of if I will be believed or killed, we could still win.

If I had been believed, my investigation would have been "proven to be true", putting massive shade on the real cop who couldn't possibly have remained hidden given the fact the Mafia would win if a townie was lynched. I then pretend to have been roleblocked myself during the night (since it would be obvious that the roleblocker was still in play), kill off one of the non-real-cops and then lynch the real cop on the last day.

But even with me not being believed, as you probably noticed I tried my hardest to make it appear like Quina and I were on opposite teams. I'd been voicing suspicion of Quina since the beginning of the game and especially on the second day when the Mafia would've won with another townie lynch I still picked on Quina. I didn't expect people to actually still be suspicious of Quina being my co-conspirator after that tbh. Of course it would've all died if Fox hadn't killed Eiko's investigation target that night, but thankfully that went well.

All in all it wasn't so much a huge risk as much as it was trying to lure the townies into believing the live Mafia is a trustworthy player regardless of who it ends up being. I could've also tried getting a townie to get lynched, but eh, I figured doing what I did would make the game more interesting and memorable. And it totally did =P
