In light of Storm's lack of response, I'd like to bring talk about some of the reactions to their lynch.
The lynch wasn't a great one, because they weren't around much, so we wouldn't learn much from it. But it wasn't a bad one either. Some people seem to have taken Storm surviving as indication that they're not mafia, though.
Storm is not a confirmed pinata. They are not a confirmed town. They are just a person who survived being lynched.
So here's what Storm had to say.
i have 7 health. literally anyone doing a night action will kill me. whats the use?
PK and Souladvent are scum. or just very stupid.
my reads list was blank because nobody had posted when i posted it
and job is job. luckily ex is a Bulba so night posting?
otherwise i'd be dead with no one being the wiser
i am willing to sacrifice myself for the good of the town, but it also gives mafia and any potential SKs 3 shots too. so wow
and 7 when i was the Maj. either way, scum is gonna sweep me up, and next night, they'll get 3 kills
Essentially, dying is bad because it gives the mafia and SKs 3 kills apiece.
But they will die eventually. The question is just how soon.
But they respond to that with a strange, defeatist attitude. They revealed all the details of how they would die, in order to stop anyone from accidentally killing them, but gave up because they could be intentionally killed. They revealed how they would die, but refuse to reveal information about possible benefits of their death. They focus on a triple mafia kill, but refused to answer whether it would also triple cops.
This is really suspicious to me.
Some of the responses to their lynch are strange, too.
Safe to say Storm is probably a possible target tonight.
omg what?? Triple shot their actions? So they are three times strong or can be used two more times!!
hmm that makes you so easy to kill though, if true then i doubt you would be Mafia because they don’t have many people’s lives to throw away
i feel like if this role would be activated then it would best be now instead if near the end of the game…
omg i wonder if it makes the check have two more targets!!
These are examples of good analysis. They don't assume Storm's alignment, just discuss what possible outcomes of this information would be.
assuming storm isn't dead by morning, i'll consider any vote made against him an intent to kill him, and unless i feel there is strong town motive behind doing so i'll take it to be a scumtell
because i didn't want people voting storm, having him die, and then claiming they didn't realize it would kill them to avoid culpability.
This feels like a weird position to take. It's oddly defensive of storm and seems to assume that they are town. Nothing Storm has done indicates that.
I don't think this is a good look. For one, it could be Mafia covering for Storm dying by them targeting him with one of their non-killing night actions.
Also, if we're worried about mafia choosing when to kill Storm, we can just kill him ourselves and no lynch that day so we don't get two townies dead at once, if Storm is town (which I guess he could have rolled Mafia, but that would really suck for them to have that role on their team).
This is, again, very pro-Storm. Not because of anything they did to indicate that, but because they're worried about the consequences.
I don't think the role is alignment indicative, because killing a team-member for a triple kill action is pretty good for mafia. It means they can win at Majority-2 instead of at Majority, so long as their sacrificial lamb.
I'm not going to back off of Storm just because they survived or revealed their role. If they're giving up, we can make use of the triple actions and get a better read on the people that responded to their lynch.
@Storm, I want a response. What is your plan as the pinata?
