I'm gonna repeat my earlier question - does anybody have a reason to vote for somebody who's *not* themself?

24

Themselves? That doesn't look quite right.

25

If I was not on the poll, I'd have no reason to do such a thing.

Themselves? That doesn't look quite right.

25

Oxford dictionary says themself is not widely accepted and shouldn't be used in formal contexts.

26

Don't worry about that noise, "themself" is the most cromulent way to refer to a single person in the given context.

[Sloonei]

Epi won last time, and I found speedchuck's singalong much more sexy, so I vote for Chuck E. Speed.

I think the problem is that "they" is becoming common for unknown third person singular, but it still 'feels' plural. So in this context I would use "they", but because it feels plural a singular "themself" feels off even if it is perfectly unacceptable.

Warning: if people don't start participating I'm totally fine turning this thread into a linguistics discussion. Do with that what you will.

Why are we talking linguistics in a numbers game?

44 the 6 18 before 90 65 in 43 22 22 the 22!

[Marmot]

Lol, that's a funny linki.

[colonialbob]

My posts also have numbers in them!

If you'd like we can talk about the linguistics of numbers. Like how French has the weirdest names for numbers ever.

29

[Long Con]

Huit a sec, that's not fair!

[Made]

Perscripivistism is dumb

[Long Con]

So's my nephew.

What's really fascinating about it is *why* the standards came to be "correct".

I'm also curious about this! It might be actual game-related content!

I'm gonna repeat my earlier question - does anybody have a reason to vote for somebody who's *not* themself?

24

I didn't answer this originally, because I don't have any reason to vote anyone other than if they don't like their role. There are no baddies. There aren't even really teams right now as we can probably all expect to be on different teams as the game progresses. Lynching and killing people will not matter until we get down to the last roles.

Lynching and killing people will not matter until we get down to the last roles.

I disagree. I think it matters, the question is just sussing out how.

I respect myself too much to do that right now.

33

I've been wondering if there is any method to role redistribution after a player has died, or if it's all just randomized. It seems like it would he useful to figure that out.

[juliets]

I'm saying today because he when I would post more but nobody can understand wantist this afternoon. I'm saying. I'm saying. I'll probably vote would post again so I get back from the dentioned today because he mentioned wanting. I'll probably vote what I'm inclined today because he when I could post this afternoon. I could make sure. I would ilgy.

You would vote Wilgy, I think you said? Is that just out of the two people with votes, or out of everybody?

23

If he wilgy our votes. I don't know of everyone be vote. Off to change out of anyone else who wanted for. If he voted he'll us the dentist.
I hope he'll us the votes. I doesn't I wanted for. If he indicated to change out of anyone because who wanted to change out of anyone else wilgy out of everyone be vote.

Yeah, I've been wondering that as well. It could be based on which roles die (much more variable, but presents problems if certain players die way more often) or just a set progression. Or it could be random, like "first 5 deaths, one of these 5 roles. Next 5, one of these." Etc. I think the last is how I'd probably run it.

36

[colonialbob]

Do any of the NKed folks want to share their previous roles? That would be appreciated!

Dead people claiming their previous roles is a good start.

Resurrected players could talk about their old and new roles and if there's any possible correlation.

[colonialbob]

I have a hypothesis that the biggest teams are going to appear more commonly early on, with the smaller teams showing up later. That said, we don't have a confirmed death from the primes (the biggest team), do we?

Well, that doesn't appear to have worked.

Can I pick people's next roles? That seems fair...

[Sloonei]

I have a hypothesis that the biggest teams are going to appear more commonly early on, with the smaller teams showing up later. That said, we don't have a confirmed death from the primes (the biggest team), do we?

40

Why? Why not the opposite, with small teams early, followed by a bigger battle between evens and primes at the end?

40

Because there's e.g. 25 prime roles. So clearly several of them have to go, because having even 8 or so on a team with BTSC at endgame would be fairly strong.

No, not really, aside from dead people sharing their roles. Which they haven't done yet.
