What do you think of the potential risks vs potential benefits of the proposal?Lawrencelot wrote: I don't support it, and I'm not against it. I wouldn't mind mass rolename claiming, but only if everybody or a majority agrees to do it. Now I clearly know that you and NabNab are against it, and Rogueben wants to wait, we shouldn't nameclaim (yet).
Risk: the people who's rolenames have something to do with their role, might cause powerroles to be revealed. Benefit: if scum don't have safeclaims, we might be able to see who's claim does not match everyone else's. Or if we're really good we can see who's mimicking.What do you think of the potential risks vs potential benefits of the proposal?

Or should we be paying more attention to Page 1?Da Rules wrote: 9.75. The role name Harry Potter or any derivation thereof is assigned to a player with the alignment of pro-town.
You say cicero convinced you, yet his arguments are just as pessimistic as mine are optimistic, if not moreso. I mean how likely is a role which can do something once they know your role name?(as cicero suggested)vollkan wrote: Para's reasons for the claim were fairly optimistic (the idea of scum appearing to mimic). I think it's probably more likely that a mass rolename claim would not have such a potent effect.
I'll bring up the point once again, but couldn't anybody whose name had to do with they're role simply tell us this? I don't get why people have to worry for them when we aren't sure they exist. Though I guess scum could lie and say their's did.(not that I'll assume that)vollkan wrote: For that reason, the potential for a serious information leak that Cicero raises needs to take priority.
Why do you insist on dropping hints?Xtoxm wrote:Hmm. Well, my anme has nothing to do with Harry Potter.
Perhaps stuff to do with Harry Potter is the scum?
Paranoia, mainly. I don't know whether a rolename claim would actually be good or bad - but I'd rather be conservative and not take the risk, especially in this game.Voll wrote:You say cicero convinced you, yet his arguments are just as pessimistic as mine are optimistic, if not moreso.

Explain how your hint accomplishes that.Xtoxm wrote: I'm trying to help town figure out the scum.
Because you are providing information about your rolename. Namely, that it is not Potter-related.Xtoxm wrote: How is it a hint?
This doesn't make much sense. You are saying that your role is theme "X". Therefore, you think anything Harry Potter-related is potentially scummy. I don't see the logic. At most you can say "Anything not X" is potentially scummy, and even that could be stretching it.Xtoxm wrote: I was saying that it could be that Harry Potter or similar type roles are scum.
