How do heroes differ from full races?

Like... would a basic hero from a basic race just be a plot-armoured individual from that race?

Also, would a divine hero from a basic race be less good than a divine hero from a divine race?

(('scuse the DP, forgot to do my maths))

Improve the Fhortan to an Elite race, which I think should cost somewhere between 20E and 21.42E if I did the maths right.

The mindset questions reveal more about the answerer than asking about fruit which I notice you're not following up on.

For example, a number of you have said I have the strongest day game out of us five. This is information the Evil role would like to know, but also information that town PRs might want to know. The Evil role might want me out of the game in case I have a moment of clarity and finger them good and proper as scum, while a townie might want to keep me in the game for the same reason.

Equally so, I might want that attention on me for whatever reason.

It also allows us to see who is suspicious of whom. Moonlit pointed out my suspicious behaviour and suggested I wasn't pressuring enough, for example, and FoU has jumped on a bandwagon very quickly, rather than putting pressure on a different player. Both of these things don't sit well with me, but then again, neither does your lack of input on what you wanted to do with your fruit question, and the plan you suggested you had with it.

That is, however, more regular behaviour for you. I think I'll move my vote to FoU as my choice of lynchee.

That's another example of a good question, though it could lead to me being a WIFOM-y bastard and not really answering it with:

I'm not going to tell other people what to do with their action.

Which is kinda the answer I want to give. If people want to clear me, then that's fine, but it depends on the type of role they have. A traditional investigator (alignment cop) would be fine, but a watcher (of the "your target visited this person" variety) wouldn't, for reasons we won't go into on D1.

You're stalking, bro.

The reason we ask the "if you were x role, who would you target", is because it gives us a bit of s clue as to their mindset.

Investigative roles would tell us who someone is suspicious of when the question gets asked, or who they think would be a useful player (clearing a player you think is good so they don't lead the town into oblivion)

Sometimes the answers are unhelpful (could argue that about FoU's answer to Moonlit's question) because folk give "optimal" answers, but they're usually better than asking about non-game related material. Like fruit and Priscilla White

Er... IC/OOC?

I want Wtfgl to give Death his Essence.

Yes, I can see that.

Why isn't this an IC request?

It's 2am, ironic humour tends to go over people's heads at this time.

I think there was a bastard game in which everyone was a serial killer.
