[QUOTE=renegade;834804]I don't really recall. Listen I understand your frustration but the solution is very simple, and completely within your hands.
It's just an aspect of the game, special color names get more attention, and people who reuse their name get more attention (especially if they are known to prefer certain roles).
Either side will use any information they can to win, and knowing a player's behavior is useful information.[/QUOTE]
I agree. I do think there is a valid point about continually executing a player for their name not being ideal, to say the least. However, it really is true that once a name gets associated with a certain meta, using that name again and again forces that meta-knowledge to enter gameplay (sort of like how even fake spoilers are bad because you put the thought in their heads).
