So, right off the bat, I'm going to disappoint the mod.
Sorry, yuma.
I would call your attention to this:
There is one facet of the game that some may consider to be bastard, however the mod ensures you that it has been accounted for and has been designed in such a way to make it not bastard. This game will feature of myriad of roles, some of these roles will be subject to or create misinformation. However there will be no mod lying.
So, the bolded part.
I have one of those roles. As such, I pledge NOT to use my role at all (unless town collectively comes up with a reason, but I've thought about it since I received my PM, and I haven't yet.)
My role creates unwanted confusion at night. It's made this way on purpose to add to the craziness of the game, and the night-time fun of the mods. Unfortunately, it's anti-town to use it, as it'll just confuse the real PRs.
Basically, my role is non-compulsory and is unable to stop kills or clear players. Therefore, I won't be using it.
I strongly urge all other town players with similar roles to make the same pledge, either publically or privately.
Again, sorry yuma, for sapping the fun from the role. But I have to do what I think is best for town to win.
I am not sure what to think of Asherskys claim.
Anti-town roles are usually not optional, because then they are not used, effectively making the player a vanilla townie.
If they are optional, there usually are situations where they can be useful.
Because of this this, I am a little skeptical of whether Ashersky actually have the role he claimed.
The big question here is
why would !town Ashersky choose to claim this early. Or !scum Ash.
I fail to see why his claim helps town.
But I do not see ow it could help him as scum either. If he is scum, he might get into trouble later during a massclaim if he do not (fake)claim a role that fits with this. And I do not think scum would want to limit their fakeclaiming possibilities this early. I mean, if he is watched or tracked or something now he is pretty dead, as he has already claimed to have a role he is not going to use.
