Roden should be super scum from NQT's POV, but instead they copy 4mask and vote Tric even though Roden could have just as easily been the "hypnotizer" and not Tric.
You could just read what I wrote.
It's obvious to me that the team must be TricMagic/Roden:
Tric 'protects' 4mask, after Roden had claimed to want to vig 4mask. So they set up their alibis early. Tric hypnotises ("power of friendship") 4mask into performing the kill. Jim was picked as the target because everyone knows only 4mask can kill Jim. And also Jim had expressed doubt about Tric's clam (the implausibility of "sacrifice").
Either that, or a scum!4mask just straight up shot Jim (why??) while his scum partner Tric doctored him, anticipating a shot from the vig. In either of these scenarios, Tric is scum. POE: Tric, Roden, 4mask.
At that time, with the facts as they were know to me, there were two likely teams. And both had Tric on them. So Tric was the best vote (and, indeed, still is for similar reasons). Simple predicate logic:
(A AND B) OR (B AND C) = B AND (C OR A)
Don't tell me you don't understand this basic argument.
You want to use logic? Okay.
1. 4mask and I can confirm that Tric's death gave 4mask a protection based ability, not some hypnotizing ability. In addition, there would be no use for this item if Tric was mafia with the one exception of Roden's one-shot protect...which would also be useless if the team is Tric/Roden.
2. Roden said they were going to shoot last night, but only Jim died by 4mask's hand. Is Roden's entire role-claim on D2 false? They're either lying scum or something weird happened.
3. Roden said
they shot you last night and you didn't die. Either he's lying, you're lying, or a hidden malefactor is at play. This hidden malefactor
would not be Tric as it paints Roden poorly for no benefit in a Tric/Roden world.
Order of events on D3:
4mask - "The bad: I was somehow hypnotized into killing Jim Groovester and one of my items got ganked."
Roden - "NQT, you're not a pure Tracker. Full claim please."
4mask - Fullclaims their XCOM role.
Toony - "I'm the one that stole the Celestial Gauntlets from you 4mask."
Tric - "I protected 4mask last night." Also some insane theories that don't make sense.
Note: Even Tric expected to get bussed by me last night.Partial claims by me and Max.NQT - Mostly fullclaims their role and actions, leaves out role names.
NQT tries to argue that mafia would shoot Tric if he was really doctor, but this doesn't make sense if mafia fear my bus driving, which they would expect me to do during N2 still.
Roden - "The reason I made these requests is because I targeted you, NQT. Everyone acting shocked that 4mask isn't dead...why? Why are you confused? I made it clear I wanted to lynch NQT yesterday and only wanted to Vig 4mask because no one else was a viable target. But since you guys wanted to mis-lynch an obvtown after I told you all not to AGAIN, I feel like it should be obvious that I was going to shoot NQT."
"Two, and this is a much bigger problem: my action was successful. My results told me that I, as a fact, did manage to flatten NQT into a pancake. However, he's still here. Why? If Tric targeted 4mask, why was my action still successful, yet NQT still lives?"
Roden - Roden theorizes what could be happening if my second yet-to-be-claimed action was me bus driving again. You know, that thing I heavily hinted at doing with Max on D2 and left in the minds of everyone that would keep mafia from wanting to kill Tric.
Toony - I claim my second action that I copied Roden and targeted 4mask.
Max - Max implies they role-copped 4mask last night and can confirm their role is called X-Com.
