I think consistent roleplay can be fun and not necessarily aligment indicative. In the Toon Mafia game I kept up the Japanese honorifics (Tiruin-sama etc.) for the entire game.

* Tiruin bops IO, then bops Lenglon o_o

Maaaybe us posts should be more malleable than expectation-focused? Move to understand instead of level expectations (lest that bring up defenses and stubbornness when all that's already unneeded since we're all cool dudes^TM [Toaster, 2015]

I wouldn't have lynched Lenglon either way--because the essence of her posts, as the essence of all other posts within how I scumhunt, is what matters. She just has a different way of communication.

Basically what this dude said. :3
...He was silly that way.

I was also town, which I don't think suited my role at all.

And then I just redundant'd Shakerag forever.

This is amazing and I would have been really sad if I'd lynched or forced you to commit suicide for inspecting or refusing to inspect somebody.

That's hilarious.  Especially because it was extending my free revive window. 

I was kind of hoping for something that would have caused a bit more game-wide outrage, given the role name I sent in.  Oh well.

If webadict isn't dead and comes back to run another BYOR, I think I'll submit something like "The BYOR 15 role that will fuck over everyone if it is killed before D4" because a lot of you are getting all "let's kill Shakerag early because wah wah he's sarcastic" or "let's kill Shakerag early because he's potentially disruptive" and this will totally backfire on you.

This is how you treat me protecting you? Waaaaah

Though I do like how some abilities are extremely niche. There's a sort of imbalance there--but balanced by how the player uses them. But in many conflicting circumstances...'niche' seems like the best idea to some abilities, while others are generally useful everytime/all around.

Um ... I'm sorry?  D:

I'll give you some candy!

* Shakerag beckons Tiruin over to an unmarked white van.

[ToonyMan]

Wait, two people were causing Shakerag to kill himself every night?

Amazing.

I decided to look back through the game to see how well communication worked between Lenglon and others, as this is turning into a Bay 12 reform debate in part and I know everyone's personal perceptions (my own included) are often completely and utterly wrong.

On one side, we have the narrative of Lenglon as incomprehensible, with routine communication failures.  On the other side, there's the narrative of everyone else as lazy and refusing to try to understand Lenglon, routinely demanding that she repeat her statements endlessly.  Both are unsubstantiated, and both I think came about as a result of one particular incident.

Aside from Irony's complaint, it is clear that Lenglon was both understandable and understood D1.  The occasional complaints were from annoyance instead of confusion, clear conversations were common, and I can personally understand everything Lenglon said that day (it hurts my eyes to do so, but I can do it).

Day 3 is when things fell apart momentarily.  This mess was posted.  At least after much demand and one reposting, she translated it to something actually comprehensible.  Even then, I cannot see how certain parts of the jargon dump became what they were translated to in the understandable version, or how any reasonable person could be expected to see those parts and understand them as intended.  Thing is, this and some awkward efforts of my teammates to defend Shamrock are the only cases of people having to repeatedly demand that Lenglon explain what she said that I see, and this is the only case that isn't just awkward defense failure.  Lenglon even recognized the TDS/Shamrock stuff for what it was.

So, basically, in the entire game, there was only one notable communication failure relating to Lenglon that I can see.  Only one.  Both major narratives are wrong, depending on widespread failures that weren't widespread.
As for roleplay, it's worth noting that we like it enough to have put a game in the Notable Games Archive primarily for one player's roleplaying: Bring Someone Else's Role.

One of my favourite mafia experiences was Solifuge's cat roleplay screens.

[Lenglon]

hmm.
okay, sorry. I was being over-defensive.
thank you Jack for putting things into perspective. You're absolutely right. I was over-reacting to an attack I was strongly expecting that never happened. that was wrong of me. my apologies.

It was still annoying as hell.  To the point where I pretty much just wanted to ignore Lenglon.

Oh hey I can rise to meet your expectations if you'd like.

[Persus13]

SO I was the one responsible for Shakerag's continual suicides.

No, actually, I was the one responsible for Shakerag's continual suicides.

This is amazing. I'm seriously happy now. It also explains why you backed down surprisingly quickly from the flavor inspect reveal.

Re: Lenglon, I agree with Jack that Lenglon's RPing wasn't a big deal except the relatively few occasions where she was incomprehensible.

I loved them :3 And I love Jack's rationality.
