Please read and tell me where it shows someone protected Forge?
Maybe reading comprehension is a thing of the past, but its clear that Forge was shot and is still alive...meaning he is deathproof (2 times now in some manner) and clearly a godfather role that cant die until either his team or all scum are dead. It might be like the IT role I had where the deathproof can be broken by another role in the game, but that remains to be seen.
IF you believe Forge was protected then Gopher or Counselor is guaranteed scum...but again that writeup shows nothing about someone protecting him
