My only qualm with this is that, assuming he is, why wouldn't he take the opportunity to use Storm's invention as the reason for his survival? It seemed perfectly laid out and without much risk for him, yet he didn't even try. I have hard time imagining that Viral, as scum, would be incompotent or unaware enough not to, unless he thinks has a better defense coming up.
Vergo did touch upon this. He said that Viral's words indicated that the ability given was not a bulletproof ability. It makes sense.
The reason I was able to tell Storm gave Viral an item, thus an ability, was because in Skyward Sword Mafia, a player (I think Linkdude?) was an inventor. He gave Batman a lot of items like a Bomb, Beetle, Guardian Potion, ect. The use of those items got my lynched, which is why that role stuck out to me and I was immediately able to tell Storm had it.
In SS Mafia, Linkdude mentioned he just had the names of the items. He did not know what the items did. Only Batman knew. The same thing could be applied here. Maybe Storm didn't know what he was giving to Viral.
That was the case with HoT, wasn't it? He was able to reveal himself like an Innocent Child, but he also had a silencing ability. I figured Tristan took inspiration from Lineages in that regard and could have made more roles like that.
Anyway, no, I don't know a specific role, hence the reason that I put in parenthesis "or at least part of it" after I said his role was obvious.
Ah, that's true. But then again, a town role cop and a town cop isn't as likely as a town cop and mafia role cop. Which is why I was trying to indicate I was suspicious of Frozen but everyone ignored me :c
Not necessarily. In many games, the Godfather is able to choose who to send to perform the kill. Assuming that's true in this game, it's perfectly possible that he sent Frozen on Night 2 and Deku on Night 3.
Really? I'm not too sure about that.... it makes more sense to me that if whoever the mafia sends to perform the kill is roleblocked, then the kill isn't performed. We have evidence that multiple members have been sent to perform the kill; how would the Godfather being roleblocked be the sole reason for those kills not going through with the flavor text we got of roleblocking?
This would explain why Frozen Chosen wasn't chosen to perform the kill last night - the mafia was fully aware that he had been roleblocked the night before, and tried someone else to avoid it. It backfired whenever LD decided to go after Deku instead.
This is all speculation, of course. But it seems to make some degree of sense.
I guess that is true. I haven't played many Mafia games to know for sure. The ones I've played had that rule, though, so I thought it was standard >.>
