At least in part, quick reminder regarding VOTF you only get a pass if I do something that that demonstrably makes me a threat in the current game, so the RC I'm about to make won't qualify.
I can not cast the hammer vote, I will keep whether or not I have anything else secret for now but I can't hammer, I have no restriction (currently) discussing it so I am willing to demonstrate if anyone really demands it. Just to emphasize, this doesn't give a pass on VOTF because I'm claiming a role power that weakens me relative to a Vanilla and hardly proves me town, after all an inability to hammer would be a real good restriction for a scummer if you were worried you'd slightly over-powered them, it's a good role if you want everyone to have something, and it's a good tack on if you want to slightly weaken a power role. Again, not a pass on VOTF, the claim does not meet a reasonable standard of in game threat, and if you don't know what I'm talking about ask, there's not much point having a deterrent if you don't advertise it

This isn't really a power, it's really a restriction. It could very easily be put in place to balance some other overpowering ability, for either side. Like, someone one on your team has a double vote, but you can't hammer... or something.
Okay, so what's that tell us? First, it's a strong indicator we are heavily roled, second, while many roles tend to counter-indicate parallel roles being in play, things like mason obviously indicate other masons in play. In my opinion, role effectors do not indicate other role effectors aren't in play and often indicate that others are, so we may easily have other role effecting abilities in play, town, scum, or other. Double voters, vote stealers, negaters, players with lower or higher numbers to lynch, etc. So we're probably role heavy or all roled and we need to keep a sharp eye on the vote record.
Eh, I will have to disagree on the 'strong indicator' bit since we have no proof you are town (a mafia with this ability doesn't tell us much about the town). I also don't know why that knowledge would really help us anyway. We could have some funkiness with the voting, but if it happens, we would be able to detect it.
And I'm probably going to shut up about this because the last time I went down this road, I claimed to be a power role and people lynched me for suggesting I wasn't one earlier in the game (well, to their credit, I really wasn't)
A quick sidenote: We've had a strong tendency toward lurking and post-slumping the last few games and we also have the holidays coming up, with finals for our many student players, so we're probably see a lot of RBIRL, we really need everyone to make an effort to stay active to help counteract all the very legitimate absences we'll see this next month, personally I'll be aiming for a faster more reckless style hence RCing in whole or part right away
Yeah, I'll try.
Okay, we need questions, but I'm not an anime expert so its hard for me to see the safe areas, we need to pick our phrasing and so I'm going to throw out some questions and ask people to try to find a safe phrasing, the first two should be fine as is but the others will probably need some touching up:
I'm far from an expert myself, so like you, I am not entirely sure what is safe to answer at this point. From what I've surmised, no one has claimed to be an anime-expert yet, so it's possible that even if I accidentally say something I shouldn't, no one would be able to crack the game or anything like that. But I'm going to err on the side of caution and keep this limited.
1. Are you an anime character?
Yes.
2. Are you, yourself, knowledgeable of anime, on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being 'what's anime?' and 10 being the anime equivalent of 'In episode 6, season 2 of Space Trek Captain Smith clearly hits the wrong sequence of keys to talk to the Engineer Murphy on the intercom', in other words, 9-10 would be übergeek with focus on anime.
2. I know what anime is (I think), but don't know anything really. Hopefully understanding the flavor won't be a prerequisite to playing this game well lol (I have no idea what happened in the opening scene)
3. Are you blatantly good or more grey-to-evil?
To preface q's 3-6, let me reiterate that I had to wiki my character/work. It was a fairly lengthy article in it's own right and I haven't read most of it (no time...). So don't kill me just because you happen to know more about my character/series lol
Short(er) answer: Going by wiki, my character's motives are up to the reader's interpretation.
4. Are you mostly human male, or human female, or other?
Male
5. Are you essentially from a 'modern setting'?
I believe so.
6. Is your character basically matched to your abilities? vanilla should yes
Yeah, I'd say so.
