If you look at the Dr Wiggly and Ender wagons Neeko took Radish, JPIC, and Falcon as the main PoE targets, but was trying to say c$ and Dizzy were also possible PoE targets.
Comma usage could have been a bit better in that post, but it was long and Neeko was probably getting tired typing near the end.

I assume you are referring to the RYM game on MU which I have only faint memories of.

Re: GAME OF CHAMPIONS 2021 D2a
I think the abundance of guns in this game indicates that mafia can have them as well. I believe that the information we have about the setup strongly indicates that abilities are not necessarily tied to alignment, so I am inclined to focus on behavior in situations with ambiguous mechanics. Dizzy's handling of Sabie looked like it had strong bussing potential. There is a world where that is not the case, though.

This is sincere question with no agenda other than promoting discussion: Does it make sense for town c4 to shoot Bo when he did?
I wasn't here when it happened. I don't know what the discussion looked like, what the atmosphere was, when others shot in relation to Bo, etc.

Mafia can have protective roles. They are useful.
Not to mention, one can just lie about their role?
So "Mafia wouldn't ever pick a Protective role" is just not a defense.
As a mafia player that could choose any roles from the game.
Why would you choose a protective role?

I think the decisions of the mafia captain depend entirely on who that individual is, and what level of deception they went to in their choices. I think there are way too many variables there to make any assumptions about what would or would not have occurred.

Somebody else might have picked players and gone for a variety of familiar faces and unfamiliar ones.
