persus13:
It probably matters for alignment inspects. If someone claims something like Doctor and you inspected them as an SK last round, you can be pretty confident they're lying.
So y'all shouldn't be claiming your alignments, because now the King Mafia has some vague idea of what your roles are.
Just the sort of fake helpfulness I would expect from someone on the scumteam.
TheDarkStar:
Yeah, regardless of the alignment for a particular role, everyone's wincon is either "kill the King Mafia to end the round" or "kill everyone else to win". I assumed everyone was marked as survivor if they weren't KING MAFIA but apparently not.
Shakerag: Why are you KING MAFIA again?
So are you claiming that you don't have a killing ability? Nevermind, see analysis below.
Bitch, please. I haven't been KING MAFIA even once yet.
And just so you all aren't distracted with irrelevant things, I killed hector13. My alignment is serial killer, not king mafia. I had two reasons for killing him. One I'm not saying, and the other was so that I didn't get him confused with Persus13. Well, and I suppose there was the third reason of it would just be hilarious to daykill someone right off the bat. Actually, I just thought of a fourth reason. There was a chance I could hit king mafia blindly. Oh, and a fifth! Now the odds of lynching king mafia are better. So, really, plenty of good reasons.
So, I predict that you're all going to try and lynch me now. That's fair. I'd likely do the same thing to someone who just pulled this nonsense. Even though it is early in the game, I'm serious about lynching Persus13. He just said the kind of thing you say as scum to try and make everyone think you're a helpful townie. It's like he was scrambling to try and find something helpful to say to increase his towncred, even if it came off as ultimately useless. I mean, think about how many roles are in that xylbot list and how many alignments can be on each individual role, let alone how many roles are associated with any particular alignment. King mafia knowing our alignments is practically useless information.
For example: A daykiller, such as myself, could be either town or sk aligned. A survivor could be anything from Santa (gives gifts) to Crazed Fiend (one-shot daykill).
So Persus13 saying to not reveal our alignments seems on the surface to be a helpful thing that is anti-king mafia, but is in truth a gesture with no true value, and absolutely something who is scum would try to say to appear helpful and townlike.
Reminder: My weekends are very busy and there is no guarantee of me responding in a timely manner or even at all until Monday.
