[9:45 PM] Venexis: It's lore. Lore requires reasons for things. Saying the roles themselves are still coherent without any justification for why Runouw/Razzia would want to kill off the other is something that a lot of people are not going to get. You might as well pick any arbitrary group of characters, give then any arbitrary reason for not getting along, and go with that... which kinda goes against the point of the thread, which seems to be asking for "are there any more interesting mafia character sets". The only issue here I'm seeing is that there's names matched to traits that people aren't happy with.
[9:46 PM] Venexis: Squares hate triangles because I don't fuckin know, the universe is blue.  Not the type of thing that people want to play.
[9:47 PM] Raz: So this is acceptible because it's a game
[9:47 PM] Raz: am i interpreting this right
[9:48 PM] Venexis: No, I'm just trying to find the real issue. If the names were changed, nobody has any convincing argument for disliking it.
[9:48 PM] Raz: The damage was done, the intentions were clear(edited)
[9:48 PM] Raz: I don't give a shit if the names were changed
[9:49 PM] Raz: And neither should anyone here, regardless of whether you were one of the people attacked or not
[9:50 PM] Venexis: I'll put it this way, then. If there were no names from the start, and we had to guess who was which role, then that's our problem if we self-insert into "bad guys".
[9:51 PM] Venexis: There was no reason to guess who was which role because if they were unnamed from the start, obviously the intent was to discourage that
[9:51 PM] Raz: Okay, sadly, that wasn't what happened
[9:51 PM] Raz: now what's the plan of action
[9:52 PM] Raz: let him slide
[9:52 PM] Raz: it was a harmless game
[9:52 PM] Venexis: well, for 6 more days, yes.
[9:53 PM] Raz: lmao
[9:53 PM] Raz: this is a joke
[9:53 PM] Venexis: I instituted a grace period for this exact reason, and his game was posted 2 days before I posted my thing, so.
[9:53 PM] Venexis: I mean if we want to play that game I'm completely fine but uh, I didn't want to do ANY retroactive punishment for exactly this reason.
