Yeah the 'non canonical' part of the title is the only (imo) decent argument against this theory, and Arelic's death will hopefully shed some light onto that situation, but PERSONALLY I interpreted the 'non canonical' part as in "this game's events aren't canonical", like when fan-fiction is made and someone's like "is that canonical!!" and they're like "nah it was fan-fiction", I thought it was a joke from aqua like "this isn't what actually happens in the universe of rick and morty, there isn't really mafia, and rick/birdperson/whoever don't *actually* terrorize a galactic federation ship with characters they know all on board!", and personally I feel like having a themed game, specifying the town's faction and then not having that relate to the alignment part of the game is just way too random (like my doctor who reference earlier, "welcome to doctor who mafia. you, the town, are the monsters of the show" and then finding somoene is called 'The Doctor' - pretty likely they're mafia since I think, as a host, you'd make those kinds of decisions, but that's just me) - but obv my interpretation could very likely be wrong + is based around what I perceive to be aqua's sense of taste, but yeah arelic's responses are also suspicious and I have mafia vibes on them too, and with such little information, I think arelic is the best bet we have.
