Actually come to think of it, protection would be bad for the mafia if Tardis actually is vig. They'd have to confirm as protected, and this "protected" person, who would be unlikely to be protected by a town doctor, would have to explain why after Tardis says who he shot. Or they could stay quiet and have Tardis be killed, then lynched the next day. Alternatively, we could just have Tardis shoot at people who we consider generally suspicious. Mafia could still frame both Tardis and his shot as scum by protecting Tardis's stated shot. This is all assuming Tardis is actually vig of course

What I'm saying in what I just posted is that Tardis could be shooting town and they could protect that town to frame both Tardis and his shot
