Hm, I was thinking again about Tric's claimed ability, and it seemed odd that Tric would chose to Redirect Toonyman's actions onto me, since Toonyman had no claimed action role. Redirecting either my or Roden's ability would prove our roles, and redirecting me onto Roden (or visa versa) would make sense if we were the suspected scum team.
Yeah it would make more sense wouldn't it? It's another illogical choice from Tric.
I think the main reason a mafia!Tric would have to make up the "I redirected Toony to Jack" claim is that NJW outed the fact that Tric targeted me on N1. NJW and Tric are at odds with each other.
Let's think about how a Tric/Roden mafia team would decide their target on N2:
Toony - they have already lover'd me
Tric - no reason to target self
Roden - no reason to target partner
Vector - immune for at least one cycle
Met - already kind of suspicious, could easily get lynched on D3
NJW - a good target, the least likely to get lynched between Met and Jack
Jack - a decent target, not as suspicious as Met but more likely to get lynched than NJW anyway
Mafia don't want to Lovers someone who is likely to get lynched. NJW was the least likely to be lynched between NJW/Jack/Met. This is why NJW was hit with Lovers last night.
Metruption
I admit it's possible Tric is partners with Met, but Roden seems more likely to me. I will try to elaborate in the future.
Oh duh, it is Roden. I didn't get Lovers, NJW got Lovers, ergo it has to be Roden. Met as scum would totally have Lover'd me.
Throughout the entire game, it's been:
NJW2000 suspicious of Roden and Jack
Jack suspicious of Met
So for the end game, Roden would want me around and Met would want NJW2000 around. Sorry Roden, you're mafia.
