As I said, I thought of a good reason for jailkeeper to want a massclaim. If town agrees to massclaim and BP claims first, then the town will have 2 confirmed towns that day, and 1 confirmed town for pretty much the rest of the game. Early claiming BP is a bad move for mafia because it's really easily counter-claimed with low cost to the town, with only 1/6 chance of there being no conflicting claims (guaranteed to be a conflicting/counter claim if they have a roleblocker, and 75% of it if they do not have a roleblocker). Besides information from people's reactions and checking for fakeclaims, in the case of a BP the jailkeeper is giving the town a confirmed townie. However, that falls short if the jailkeeper claims first. There was too much pressure on Streaker at that time for people to go along with it. With the BP claiming after, if they are BP they will no longer be absorbing night kills and cannot be taken for confirmed town, which is why if a jailkeeper claims, the BP should not, in my opinion.
With that said, I do think we have a roleblocker, because of the night kill. I am convinced that HotShot's death was to prevent the town from using a PR on him. Why, though? In most set-ups, there would be little reason to fear this. In the case of a cop/doc pair, though, the town would have 2 confirmed towns, with a 3rd hiding in the wings to keep the confirmed towns safe at night. It would be best for mafia to try and take out the most likely target of a cop search, which is, in my opinion, HotShot, fearing the 50% chance of it being a cop/doc pair (because they know it's 50/50 since they have a roleblocker). To me, it's the only thing that makes sense, and it fits in really well with Streaker jailkeeper/WCG BP.
Though I do need to say, I'm not happy with you, Streaker. Why did you keep the door to my room locked to I couldn't rescue my precious stamps?
