If we are scum, have bork flavor, and not a death miller, why would we claim death miller in the first place? Just a miller claim would've sufficed.

I don't believe this claim. Bork is by all means still an
admin
, so this leads towards bastard flavor.
You do know that you signed up for a bastard game?

But yes, the potential for and presence of wacky roles is why I'm even seriously considering the possibility of the claim.

Thing is, Rat, that Death Millers were actually pretty common comparatively speaking when AniX was a player.

it's totally believable

I mean.... I've seen UPicks where Alignment is based on submission to a certain extent.

I'm pretty sure at least one RC UPick I reviewed he made roles and then balanced by changing alignments for example. It's something you need permission to do, but it is 100% a thing AniX could have chosen.



In this particular case? I actually believe the flavor is town indicative. AniX definitely seems like the kind to go "You submitted werewolf as your flavor? You get to be the town bloodhound." as a 'Fuck you for trying to out think the mod' kind of thing. It certainly fits with what I know of AniX's design philosophy.

wouldnt this be bastard modding since alignments are supposed to be randomly assigned not based on how much the mod wants to fuck with you

Just as Bork is the superior red mod, bourbon is the superior whiskey.

i would recommend sticking to drinking unless you want to get paranoid

not sure if anything is stopping you from going again and picking smoke after anix processes the partying i guess

Hmm, a possible quirk of the upick system within this game has occurred to me and I'm not sure I should share that yet

That was the part I wasn't sure about sharing, Sky

Do we know that everyone was told to pick something with the same criteria
