Praised based Omegasaur and the hardworking admins

Here's my rationale:

There are functional roles with functional text - if the Judge were to court, everything would shift to this:

[COLOR="#00FF00"]Court:[/COLOR] [COLOR="#00FF00"]Lynch 6[/COLOR]
[COLOR="#FFFFFF"]Jury: No lol
Jury: I am 6[/COLOR]

By association, whenever the Mayor or the Marshall reveal themselves, their text and chat remain exactly the same, with no modifications.

Reductively, [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]Jury[/COLOR] is a name that has no special powers or higher connotations assigned to it; it is a blanked-out, anonymous name, and is not afforded the same authority/standing as [COLOR="#00FF00"]Court[/COLOR]. Everyone regardless of role (save for Judge) become Jury in the rare instance there is a Judge, and they court - even with that, nobody is being tricked into thinking that court is ongoing; everyone still has their names, the wonderful music cue doesnt play, and there is nothing that otherwise differentiates [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]Jury[/COLOR] from the other player names.

This is just my method of thinking, but I'd imagine that for a game which revolves around strategy, most anyone could differentiate between a court and a normal day.

Best,

You cannot be more correct.
We need to arrange a real-life Mafia, with Mass Murderer and failors, and also get some Cthulhu-worshipping Cultists to convert random people.
All anarchy!

I believe town can also be smarter by refuting rolecalls with known hard facts, instead of gut instinct.
