An Experiment

Well it could just mix up their postion on the list, so seein a red near bottom a brown in the middle with some black on top.

Guess this would still mess up the number PM system....

Not really. It would just use each player's individual player list to deduce which number refers to which player.

There's no point in coding something like that just to slightly shift a metagame concept. A new one, just as brutalizingly unfair will arise.

Honestly i think, THINK, that names have more of an effect on people choosing a person than number.
Its why you always see Justin Bieber attacked or lynched early, and why Jesus usually lives very long.
imo.

No one chooses the first option because its a unspoken tradition of inhouse players to not do so. Only a pubefag would stoop so low!

A lot of people say this, but this is probably on true in pubs. Smart players will protect these players while smart players will avoid attacking these players.

For example, I played a few games with the name "Kill Me First" and made it rather far into the game.
