Roden could be telling the truth if Tric's accomplice did the Lover'ing to you. I'm surprised you didn't consider that possibility.
That would mean that the ability is two-target, in which case scum would have chosen to target themselves both nights - an odd decision, to say the least.
Ah, another error on your part. Wouldn't it be easier for the ability to say something like "X player becomes Lovers with Tric?"
Essentially an infection where mafia gets everyone linked to Tric, then pushes for the elim of Tric who's basically become a Jester?
That was actually my first idea, and the fact you didn't think of it, is a bit odd.
And if Roden and Tric are scumbuddies, why would Roden track Tric and try to clear Tric? In fact, Tric's most likely scum buddy would be trying to avoid as much attention as possible, as they've bascially become a survivor under your theory. And yet you think it's the highly-visible Roden? Nobody else?
I mean, yeah, sure, the ability could work like that. Doesn't seem very likely, all things considered. As to why scumbuddies would try to clear one another... to win, I guess? Given the weirdness of the roles in this setup, I don't feel confident making assumptions about scum motivations.
... I kinda wonder why'd you push for the double elimination NJW. Would make more sense just to poison me and skip the lynch.
After thinking about this for a bit, I think that if Toony's kill wasn't delayed, this would be reasonable but not obvious. It depends how confident you are that you'll pick scum with the first kill. Anyway, new info that Toony's kill is delayed makes this largely irrelevant.
I haven't faked any of my actions or results. I don't know what else to say, I've only told the truth and if you're town you'll just have to eat crow in the post game.
If you're town, I acknowledged that there are marginal cases in which your information was compromised, control your emotions. If you're mafia, nevermind.
The idea that scum have a ninja modifier on a killing power is a bit too out-there for me to consider it much.
I know Jack 100% didn't do the first Lovers because he only visited Toony Night 1. We know Tric doesn't have Ninja because you saw him visit Toony Night 1, and he 100% did not target anyone Night 2. Mechanically speaking, this means scum almost definitely has a Ninja. If Jack truly has been Jailing Toony every Night, which is believable due to my Night 1 results, then Toony cannot have ever made anyone Lovers. You NJW are most likely a Watcher, and while you're not conftown by any means I think it would be wild if you were a Multitasking Ninja Watcher.
Yeah, this is why I think you probably lied about your results - I don't think the killing power would be undetectable, my role and your claimed role are weak enough as it is. It's possible that this game is full of garbage town roles to complement a weird weak mafiakill, and that is something I'm thinking about, but right now I'm having trouble believing it.
Also, if you think I'm going to do something at night because you ask me to do it, revise that assumption.
