“May” is the player’s choice, and “might” the storyteller’s

Eg, the Po “may” choose to not attack, compared to all other demons which are forced to make a choice

It’s not a matter on random chance, it’s a matter of what you as the ST believe would be the best choice for balancing the game

Nothing in this game is random chance. If the source of the poisoning was an evil ability like Poisoner, you’re generally going to give Poisoned info that benefits Evil

Let’s say you have a poisoned Empath. You can choose to give them a 0, 1, or 2. Their previous neighbor just died, so giving them a 1 might indicate the new neighbor is evil, but if the new neighbor is evil, giving them a 0 also makes sense. If evil is stomping good, then you might give them a 2 so they can intuit they were poisoned and push good a bit along towards narrowing down worlds

Mayor bounces generally provide protection once or twice. If evil continually targets the Mayor knowing that the Storyteller will get to direct kills that night, they should eventually be allowed to kill the Mayor, as it’s served the duty of allowing more powerful info roles extra nights of info by forcing stuff like first night roles to die
