He indeed is. David D. (I think it was) posted a good (i.e. nasty and wince-making) example of this from a SFC game, many moons ago.

He doesn't need one: rather, everyone else simply enacts 'Blame the Trickster', and the Eurmali fails to move out of the way quickly enough...

Not in any detail off the top of my head, but a common pattern would, I think, be myths where Eurmal does something wrong, gets away with it, then gets either mistakenly blamed or deliberatedly 'scapegoated' for something he didn't. Thus it's always morally and mythically justifiable to punish the Trickster for anything you like, even in blatant defiance of the plain facts of what he _could possibly_ have done, much less what it's been proven he did, since "Even if he maybe didn't do that, he sure must have done something!". Trickster is, after all the Cosmic Irony specialist...
Cheers,
Alex.
