Or we could attempt to imitate someone's style that we were not playing, f.g. I'd try to imitate Roa's style while playing Nogrod, so everyone would be sure that she was playing him... On the other hand I prefer Roa's idea, it gives the game the twist of parody...

Actually I really started to imagine it only right now and am laughing aloud...

Anyway, those imitating me or Roa would have hard time...

Us? I would think SPM would be harder. It takes a lot of skill to talk so much while saying so little.

Ah, but you only have experience of me as a Goose. When innocent, I do occasionally at least try to say something useful ...

Imagine the havoc that one could cause on the other discussion threads if one was given licence, for Werewolf purposes, to post as another Downer ...

Personally speaking, my password is private and shall remain as such. And, no, my password is not the word "private".

I too find it a bit weird idea to go on sending passwords to one another - and it would surely be looked with an evil eye by the mods. But the idea of people trying to imitate one another is just hilarious! And there should be no objections to that from any skeletal hand of doom either.

Just think about the possibilities: Lommy playing with Elu-style, Spawn going Sleepy-ways, Valier or Eonwe flood-posting Roa/Lommy/Nogrod -style, Spm starting with Nilp suicide, Celuien snapping others Ang-style, Kath building theories on top of each other, Mith attacking aggressively everything that moves... That would just be a brainstorm of a game.

But is it playable as a a real game? I kind of suspect it. But a funny thought to entertain anyhow.

Have you ever played the game where everyone in the room has someone else's name taped to their foreheads, and must ask others questions in order to determine their 'identity'? What you're describing sounds like that.

Well we could change our passwords to the name of the person imitating us, then when the game is over we can just change our password back to the one we had before. So for example if SPM was imitating me, right before the game I would change my password to "Saucepan Man", then when he dies or the game ends I just change it back. This way we're not giving out anything personal and it's easier for the person imitating us to remember the password.

Personally I think it would be an amazing game.

I have to agree with Spm on this. If the game takes, let's say a week or two, some people might be tempted to do something else with the password than just play the game. You know: we all are nice people, but how come the world is full of computer viruses etc. It unfortunately takes only one to spoil the idea...

Someday, when "the kingdom has come", or something, I would like to try this - or some other procedure. F.ex. this game of "the wrong king", where everyone would intentionally play with a different style as they are used to. Or if we all ask for the Barrow-Wight for a ruling of exception to try just once these "blind"-identities (made totally from scratch) - clearly stating, that they will be for one game only (and thence deleted), and just to try it... But I also understand B-W's concern about it and wouldn't be pushing the matter now.
