I mean, I think you moreso have to approach the game from a meta angle.
Alright, me and Plat are probably good doctor protection targets. Why not kill WPK then? Or you? And so on.
this is hella wifom though and one could argue you're not a good doctor protection target as well if they really wanted to
ultimately the question you're asking here is what was the point of killing roman that isn't better served by killing someone else you're just asking it back to front (what's the point of killing someone else that isn't better served by killing roman).
I have the benefit of sleeping through most of this phase so I'm looking back on it but to me I think the purpose of the kill wasn't to remove Roman as a player but to get stronger players (like you, wpk, whoever else you want to put in this power bracket) squabbling about things with no answers. There's not really a way to know what mafia was trying to do last night without being one of them. Hell maybe the action got redirected or something for all we know.
but if we're speculating about motives and not assuming anything about who is or isn't scum:
>WPK has not been particularly active or instrumental thus far
>I'm good mislynch bait at this point
>you're good mislynch bait at this point
>sin is good mislynch bait
>plat was 90% the doc target so no point even attempting it from their perspective
etc.
I'm sure you can come up with something for every player in the game if you try hard enough and examine their play thus far.
That's not to say that we should ignore the night kill entirely but I feel like you guys got baited into talking about it hence why I read LG as scum - because he was prodding the "let's talk about why roman got lynched" discussion thread along whenever it died down
"oh, I'll iso roman's posts to see if he knew anything!"
"oh, his iso was useless, nothing to see here..."
"oh, I know some people who may have spited roman!
"oh, none of them would really spite kill him, I just checked a previous game..."
but then again maybe he's just trying to scumhunt/be useful town so who even knows
that's precisely the problem with this kind of kill
