Awoooo!

they deleted it, as soon as everybody saw it, and went "woopsie" but i know what they did. in short, what the hell do i do about this?

Yeah this is not at all within the spirit of the game. It goes against all the states reasons to keep character sheets secret and not telling people.

The player doesn’t have a +3 in forgery, the character does. These are not the same people and the player should not act as such.

The character sheet here is being treated as an in-game object even though it is not something that exists in-game, so the character can’t “forge” it, and the other characters can’t see it.

This is just a player lying to the other players and depriving them of the conventional guesswork or lack thereof(which is itself a different thing) that would be associated with wondering if another player’s character has particular Traits.

Tell this player not to do this again. As for what to do about it now that it has happened, that’s a social thing not really something that can be covered by game rules or my advice, not knowing your group. You could make this player admit that the character is not in fact a vampire, without revealing anything else, but you know how anyone in the group is going to react to anything better than I do. The only thing you have to do is say that that wasn’t cool or within the spirit of the game so that this does not become a repeat thing. Anyone reading the rules of the first part of Chapter 1 and the first part of Chapter 2 should be able to understand that.

The thing is it is clever, and in a different TTRPG I might think it was a lot cooler, but for Eureka specifically it’s totally counter to the intended experience.
