Thread: Escort 'Names'

  1. ISO #1

    Escort 'Names'

    Anyone have the history of why Escort and Consort were chosen from the previous Sc2mod names? I'm also interested in the design implementation on why there are different names for roles, like Escort vs Consort, Jailor vs Kidnapper. When I play with friends, it seems to be easier to just say they're the same 'role' with the same name, but just on different teams.

    Probably a programming thing -- even roles with the same function don't have the same name across different factions. Also, Blizzard went after SC2Mafia for Hooker / Stripper, which forced the name change to Escort / Consort, on threat of pulling the map.

    Okay the programming reason makes sense to me.

    Are there any other names I could use instead of Escort? I'm like tied between Escort, Companion, Prostitute, and Whore. Debating what's most appropriate.

    Re: Escort 'Names'

    Different names is just so the roles match the theme of the game.

    ie Hooker is an illegal profession, Stripper/Escort is legal.
    Jailor can be a Town job, while a Kidnapper is not something that is beneficial to a Town.


    If Drug Dealer is a Mafia role, Pharmacist is the town counterpart. Just things like that.

    I would suggest sticking with Escort, as I'm fairly sure that's what people expect the role to be called these days, anyways.

    Off topic, but why couldn't it be the same name with two different IDs ?

    I'd also stick with Escort/Consort, force of habit.

    Re: Escort 'Names'

    When I say escort, I think of a bodyguard helper type role, which is why I would prefer Stripper.

    "You were too busy with a stripper last night to do anything."

    as opposed to

    "You were too busy with an escort last night to do anything."

    I'll keep escort and consort in the base roles, but I'm going to change Blocker to Stripper.

    Lol an Escort is a girl you hire to go to events with you, but they're actually legal hookers.
