More about faust (AKA "why yuma should have said he was shooting last night even if he didn't shoot")
I think it is extremely likely that scum would have used redirection power against you. You can be very dangerous for scum, especially if you have a PR. By rerouting whatever ability that you may or may not have they are sure to negate any influence you have.
Now, had yuma come out and stated he was using his power, then scum would have really wanted to redirect him. But yuma was fairly clear that he would not use his power with only the slightest ambiguity at the end, but nothing that I think scum would take too seriously. Therefore they could go out and use redirection elsewhere. You know, like on faust.
The other likely option *gasp* is that faust is scum. I mean, if this is the case then yeah, bold fake claim. But WW's story just rings really true to me. And weakened PRs seem like a thing. I mean, active tree-stump was a role. I could totally see town having more PRs, but weakened. Regular tracker is obviously clearly not ruled out, but this is an ashersky game and he is very creative with roles. Look at Yuma's power. It is a modified vigilante to make it weaker than a regular vigilante.
"Ninja Tracker" is actually an
enhanced role rather than a weakened role. Sure, treestump was enhanced, but seriously. Its a treestump. It has to be enhanced to be made a real role right from the start in a serious game. I mean, flavor totally fits ninja tracker, but does the role fit what we have seen in this game so far? Not really.
That being said, if faust is scum, it is working. I am not voting him today. We will see what we get from him tonight.
