Her name is Litia, and be careful.  She scares dogs three times her size away and even keeps mothers-in-law in line.

Unvote Zai

ExKirby
, did you just suggest that you would've liked to have been a Mafioso?
Yes, yes I did.

I picked Vanilla Townie (and still got a role of some description).
Did you really just claim?

Yes, yes I did.

ed, can you explain to me why you overlooed the typo in your name when you signed up? And why didn't you tell a mod about it?

Sirbayer:
I have no idea, I would like to be scum once in a while. It appears I'll have to wait a little longer.

Zai, a different question then. What name would you choose if you really didn't care about what ability you got?

unvote ExKirby


Vote Kashyyk
: That's rolefishing while pretending not to rolefish.  Go ahead and explain how that question is meant to actually figure out alignment and not a mentality on what sorts of names Zai would give the host (and, thus, a mentality on what sort of role he might've picked)?

In my opinion it gives a representation on your subconscous(sp?) intentions. This sort of role would probably be the easiest for a mod to turn into a mafia role, next to blatant attempts to get a mafia role. Depending on your answer it can show how much thought you've put into it and therefore, to me, it will give a hint to what alignment you are.

Rolefishing at this point mainly benefits scum, Kashyyk.

Obvscum, anybody?

You're using really flawed logic there, Kashyyk. [1] Random ability role =/= Scum role [2] I (and most people, hopefully) put thought into most answers to legitimate questions [3] Using thought about picking a role name =/= scum

^ the above.  I choose the role Obvscum and ended up town miller. 

ANY attempt to try to read a role name for alignment, especially since we pick the names before alignment is considered, is not just wine but attempting to outguess the mod, which is even worse. 

HOWEVER, you CAN attempt to read a role name as far as possible actions are concerned, which is useful..for scum looking for targets.


Kashyyk, were you having such a hard time finding an easy lynch that you caused yourself to slip up and show your scum side?

[1] But some roles, for example Anti-Doctor types, are much more likely to be Scum.
[2] I don't see how my question was not legitimate.
[3] Since when did I say that it did?

How so? I don't see anything wrong with it, so please enlighten me.

As well as Protector and Vigilante types.

Kashyyk, were you having such a hard time finding an easy lynch that you caused yourself to slip up and show your scum side?
I was under the impression that an 'easy lynch' was one were you didn't have to work to get it. A contradiction of terms in that sentance.

Obvscum, anybody?
How?
Not you; Dak in BYOR2. He chose Obvscum as his role, but he was an extremely-miller townie (unless he got the ULTIMATE POWER from Org). Not scum.

[1] But some roles, for example Anti-Doctor types, are much more likely to be Scum.
That's not what you're asking me for, though; you specified a role with which I might receive any ability if I didn't care what I got. Or are you admitting to just rolefishing in general?

[3] Since when did I say that it did?
Here (though I suppose you may have meant that using thought meant the person was town? Irrelevant all the same):
Depending on your answer it can show how much thought you've put into it and therefore, to me, it will give a hint to what alignment you are.
The amount of thought used in picking a role doesn't mean you're one alignment or the other. They're two unrelated things.

ANY attempt to try to read a role name for alignment, especially since we pick the names before alignment is considered, is not just wine but attempting to outguess the mod, which is even worse.
How so? I don't see anything wrong with it, so please enlighten me.
Obvscum being town pretty much proves that you cannot use the name of the role to determine alignment with Web as host.

Unvote Errol because I'm somewhat satisfied with his response. I vote Kashyyk for all of this crap; he's got more explaining to do. Neruz has yet to do much game-related despite being relatively active. Why is that, Scum? Start focusing on the game itself and stop dicking around, please. And Diakron needs to get online and in here.

I was about to post something similar to that, but Zai seems to have ninja'd me. I won't vote him, because then it becomes a bandwagon.

ExKirby, this would work a lot better if you kept those thoughts in your head and found something equally useful to do.



Kashyyk and Errol, who do you think is scum?

The amount of thought used in picking a role doesn't mean you're one alignment or the other. They're two unrelated things.
What I intended to say was not that a different amount of thought determins wether you are scum, but the actual answer. If it's just something completely random then it is much less likely to be a scum role than something that has been cleverly engineered to sound like one. THis is all guessing the mod however, which I have only just been told is a bad idea.


Obvscum being town pretty much proves that you cannot use the name of the role to determine alignment with Web as host.
Same outguessing the mod stuff.


Kashyyk and Errol, who do you think is scum?

Well, I don't think Zai is scum, although that is not the question you asked. Diakron however, might be as normally he is more active in the questioning than he is being currently. He is acting quite passively, so that when I flip town after my seemingly inevitable lynch He'll be able to claim that he didn't think I was scum and thus can't be scum himself. Or something like that...
