I don't think that's a fair assessment. You got a negative utility role but it was not an afterthought. I put more time thinking about what I could do for Katia than for any other role in the game because I did understand that to some extent in picking only Katia you were requesting that I somehow translate a complicated portrayal of gender identity to a mafia role.In post 5369, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:Can I just say that making a trans female character into an agentless worse than vanilla townie because you couldn't be arsed to do even an instant of research is a really shitty thing to do when you advertise a upick game, when you gave 2 male characters hyper OP overloaded kits?
Like DGB and Toog's male characters got so much power and I got to be a less than worthless after thought.
Regarding DGB and Toogeloo's roles; I can't really attest as to whether I have any subconscious bias there because if I do it's subconscious and this is highly subjective stuff. That being said, I have checked over the setup again and I do not think I have favoured male characters over female characters in role PM creation.
One thing I do apologise for is the indication that this game could approach lolbalance when I put it in signups, as I think the design here is simply a highly unorthodox but well balanced game where there isn't actually a huge amount of power floating around. With lolbalance you would expect high power creating high swing. You expected as a result of this to receive a powerful role to go with a character that you feel strongly about, however you ended up with negative utility. I understand how that can be jarring and I'm sorry for dashing your expectations in this way.
