Oh! But they don't know who to say they are instead . Yes, mass claim immediately
Are we already so sold this is a good idea? Based on my read of the setup, anybody who actually has a name to claim is a PR.
All the warriors gathered should be receiving battle instructions soon. These instruction's will inform you of your Kingdom(Alignment), Name(Flavor), and Role. The game developers have been quite busy working on Dynasty Warriors UltimaXtremeEsNumeroUnolegends 5... so some characters will be using a generic stock model. These are known as No Face Officers(Vanilla Townie)
JK9++ is a setup with a variable amount of town PRs. Just because someone has a name that may be "powerful" in the story does not mean it will be a PR. I think what I bolded here seems to imply that "face" and "no-face" officers will not be able to be distinguished due to flavor name.
When I read what you bolded, I get the exact opposite impression as you do. I specifically read that as "Vanilla Townies will be "No Face Officers" in their PM, rather than a named officer".
These are the relevant posts, correct ?
I think all this means is that chairs is not a VT, or is a VT deliberately trying to pass for a PR (which I do think is possible, although unlikely). I don't know what makes you so sure that scum "wouldn't be the first to express confusion". Scum presumably discussed the setup on night 0, and they could very well have had the ame confusion as we did, and asked mcmc for clarification. It's very possible that scum!chairs then intentionally reproduced that confusion as a breadcrumb for a future fakeclaim.
Basically I agree that PR is the most likely option, but scum is still a strong enough possibility to give me pause.
