Mafia 27. The problem of Bovblob residents

Hmm, I'm thinking... Maybe we should let the Hatter skip his turn tonight? If the Hermit is Mafia, and the Hatter has been identified, they could simply redirect his target to someone who benefits them. In that case, we'd get two kills from the Mafia. But if the Hatter skips his turn, the Hermit can use his Night Defense, but even if he is Mafia, it will only result in one kill. Thoughts?

Even worse: if the Hermit is Mafia and the Hatter is unknown, the Mafia could redirect the General to the Hermit, which means the Hatter could simply die from the soldiers.
