I think the plan seems effectve, but I would keep in mind the possibility that
@Frozen Chosen proposed. This of course, all relies on the assumption that both Malon and Storm are indeed what they say they are.
Strangely enough, I'm actually considering the other possibiltiy in a greater light. While logically, it is less elaborate and a tad more realistic to assume what you just outlined, but given the circumstances, I'm willing to consider that Storm's been set up. By claiming, he has made himself an easy target, setting the dominoes up for an easy manipulation. From the vibe I've been getting from Malon's posts, he's been very fixated on Storm. It makes sense at face value, since a counterclaim has been issued; however, I find his attitude towards him to be slightly too aggressive. This sort of mentality I especially got from this post:
Especially given the fact that both seem to be the same color and the same role, I can only help but wonder if Malon is just using Storm's actions, which also occurred last game in a similar respect, as a manipulative tool? The other reason I've been pondering over this possibility lies in what I've seen from Johnny and ALIT's points, being that this scenario seems too convenient.
The main problem with my theory is that it is a riskier move, especially early on. There's a ton of outliers to consider, and I still think your view is probably the more likely conclusion, but in the meantime, I'll need to think this over.
