Swan gets the setup wrong Every. Single. Time. and it's crazy to what lenghts he goes to do this.
Are you meaning to imply that he's doing it deliberately?
I honestly feel more like he's just getting to his opinions by thinking about it kind of sideways compared to how most of the rest of us are approaching it. Having diversity of opinions is great, so I'd encourage that, though I do think in this case it's unlikely to lead to anything useful.
No, players thay don't know the flavor don't need to know anyone else's number but their own, because when others flip, they can publically ask how towny that flavor was to everyone else.
I agree with this. Also, by the time any of us flips, maybe Ash just doesn't think the hidden information of how townie he thought our flavour names were is relevant any more, because presumably we
do flip with our actual roles, and the important thematic link Ash has made is between character and role, rather than necessarily character and towniness and then towniness and role.
