Cabd's role was also fucking with VCs and it looking like the mod was doing it so I mean... that whole idea is pretty worthless?

I can change it every VC, if I want.

p.edit: Messenger, in the hands of town, is not misleading. Messenger, in the hands of scum, can be used to fuck with people. This isn't hard. It's the difference between Mollie sending me a message that was a genuine reach out versus scum sending me a message that says "You receive this result: _____" or something to fuck with me

I have to disagree with you there.

This, however, is true and has occurred to me.

I think you can look at the other roles in this game and make the same argument about how they can be used to mislead the town:

Cabd can fuck with lurker votes.
Ceph can swap two people in the VC.
I can mess with the points.
Wisdom can send messages to people containing anything they want.

There's potential, in all of these roles, for there to be misleading/misdirection/fuckery. I don't think the argument that my role, specifically, CAN fuck w/ people is really legitimate without applying the same to these other roles.

No, that's impossible, because it is noted that the message is not from the mod.

No, it doesn't.

It just says that you receive a message, doesn't say who from

IT NEVER SAID IT WASN'T FROM THE MOD.

IT SAYS THAT I RECEIVE A MESSAGE

THEN IT HAS AN AREA TAG W/ THE MESSAGE IN IT

If it says "you recieve a message" I don't see how anyone could think it was from the mod.

Keep in mind that shit like T-Bone getting a track result, without setup knowledge, could appear as receiving a message

Have you seen many mods who give, let's say, tracker results, starting with "you got a message"?

No, because that track result doesn't have "you received a message".

No, but it's not explicitly stated, which is my whole point.

There are ways that scum could fuck with that message since it doesn't say THIS IS A MESSAGE THAT ANOTHER PLAYER HAS SENT YOU SPECIFICALLY AND IS NOT A MOD you know? It's ambiguous enough that someone could fuck with it if they really wanted to, but you guys didn't

p.edit: Yes, I know that, now. But at the time, if scum had a messenger role, they could make it look damn convincing

I'm not actually saying you're scum Wisdom, I'm saying there are plenty of roles in this game that COULD be fuckery in scum hands, and yours is one of them, so the argument that my role could be fuckery in scum hands is moot

No, it's not ambiguous. You got a message = Not from the mod. The mod himself thinks so, because my role PM says that my message will be noted as not being from the mod.

Also don't think this argument has any point though.

I need to iso the people who give me the most heebie jeebies I guess

Pedit @Wisdom: Just because he is wrong about whether your role could be used for fuckery doesn't make him scum. I'm thinking about it, but [grumbling noises].
