I'm not trying to question anyone's integrity. I just think it is useful to have a discussion about this rule. I am explaining what I think the rule should be and the reasons supporting my opinion.

And I kind of hate the idea of approaching a new game wondering if I want to play and thinking, "let's see who is the GM, hmmm, I wonder what role that person would prefer that I play?"

To be clear: I am not challenging anyone's character, and I don't think this is any sort of "cheating," especially where you all are explicit about it, as you are. I just think this is a rules question, and we have a different idea about what is the better rule. My position: I don't think there is a...

How do you feel knowing this has always been how it is, and you were just blissfully unaware? I don't think it's super common, but it's a tool in the GM's toolbox like any other. I don't feel great about it. It makes me think back to some things that happened over and over again in games I recall p...

I only think that the game would be better with more oversight now that I know the general sentiments on randomization that you stated and quoted.

I'd be interested to hear other people weigh in on this. It kind of seems obvious to me that we don't want GMs assigning roles or influencing role assignment based on their ideas of fairness. I think that is inherently unfair, and it's just a different game than forum mafia. I don't want to have to ...

the result is still random, im just allowed to see a spread of possibilites and choose one. I dont find that to be a flawed way to do things. Truly, the fact that you think this is not flawed (i.e., randing three times and picking your favorite) is a big concern. I believe that the whole point of t...

I don't think that any part of the game should be "Would this GM allow this to be the role distribution?" And if it's okay for GMs to influence role assignments, then that's part of the game here.

It does seem like an issue to me. And the fact that there are so many GMs who have said that they think it's okay to influence role assignments based on GM preference suggests to me that we should have a strict rule against it. And to me it seems easy to "police," and not impossible.If GMs will not ...

Just a quick rule clarification coming out of a post-game discussion from M88: I think it is important that role assignment be 100% random. There should be zero room for any GM to have any input at all, including re-randomizing roles after they've been randomized once. Curious to know if there are a...

I think we're the only ones still playing....

##end again

My process of elimination after I am gone would look like this in order of first kill to third kill.

1. Hamilton
2. Bozo
3. Jamiet

Just based on thread activity and momentum, I encourage folks to vote END by the 24-hour mark.

@Sweetandcool, the nice thing is that Dip&War is twice as likely to be a Goon as he is to be a Miller, which means that we basically have to flip him. As a result of that, I haven’t spent a ton of time evaluating that slot. A few things stand out to me when I think about the slot: (1) The timing of ...

Same question for Jamiet or anyone else.

@Sweet, what do you think of my argument that Sparta’s Day 4 hypo claim (Town!Bunny/Town!Bozo) makes Bozo look pretty Town?

Y’all are funny.

I think your best use of time is to re-read based on RDR/D&W and Vecna being on the scum team. Maybe some VCA regarding the first few days. That kind of thing. There should be enough info in the thread now to find that last scum bucket.

Dip&W, in the event you are Miller, please use the remaining time to come up with a solve and leave a legacy for Town to follow. If you are Town, you have unique knowledge that nobody else has.

Pretty sure our man Dip is not Miller.
