Mafia Reunion - Day One

Why do you think that? He had already declared himself as the EMT, and had said publicly that he would be self-protecting. That takes out all the luck from the Outrider targeting him, and discourages the Mafia from making the attempt. You’re positing two parties targeting him, one having absolutely no effect, and an unknown third party making the other kill: That seems like a lot of extra assumptions to make, when we can account for both kills using mechanics known to be in the game.

My reading of the rules is that the EMT is safe from ALL Day kills.

So let me first start with a question:

Am I correct in my interpretation? “Each Day you may target one player; that player will be safe from Day kills (but not from lynches) for that Day.” That means multiple kill attempts on the same protected target will all be saved?

So there are several possibilities:

1. Septimus chose not to target himself
2. Septimus just forgot to send in an order to save himself
3. My interpretation is incorrect and multiple attempts to kill will result in at least one success
4. Something else got through.

So let’s discuss #4. The Mafia roles all seem to work at night.

Town has killing roles, but would they target the only person to have claimed? Dunno. Would it even work to do so given the protection power? Dunno.

The wolves have the Outrider who can kill during the day. Is it possible that Septimus protected himself, the Outrider targeted him, that bounced back to Septimus as the protector of himself, and Septimus died? Again, would this even work if Septimus is immune from Day kills?

What about this: Both the Trickster AND the Outrider targetted him?
That’s the only way I see this working and it appears a very likely scenario given the claim.
