My hypotheses for what happened (in order of most to least likely):
1) Mafia targeted Luv as they were an exposed power role and doctor protected Luv. This implies that Luv is not mafia, but says nothing about Luv's actual powers.
2) Luv is mafia and the mafia chose not to kill as a gambit to get the town to believe scenario 1.
3) Mafia didn't target Luv and the doctor got really lucky.
4) Luv is the roleblocker and blocked the mafia killer.
I think scenario 1 is fairly likely (it was what I would have done as the doctor, and what I did do last game attempting to protect Kyra), but it doesn't outright confirm Luv, but I don't think we should lynch him right off the bat. I suppose only the doctor would know if scenario 1 is true, but if that's the case say nothing about it. Not worth outing a doctor AND a roleblocker.
EDIT: Cakes' claims about being role redirected are kind of fishy to me, why have a bus driver and a role forcer? Also why would the person being redirected be informed about it? These aren't really complaints about Cakes, just wondering about mechanics. Though what Cakes said doesn't really confirm anything at all.
