Custom Name Abuse?

[SayGen]

There is a player who is LITERALLY a NO NAME player

I mean he HAS NO NAME it's a perfect Blank.

It's total BS.

Please remove that character (whatever the Alt+command is) From being usable in-game.

It's being used by: SC ID Herolink

Not sure if it's a reportable offense but it should be.
If I'm a killing role I go out of my way to kill him. Just to be safe. Cause PUGs are too stupid to realize he is there. So noone ever targets him.

Replay attached.

They should still see a colored button next to the blank row when they perform night actions. I would believe it attracts night actions instead of the opposite ^^

[Ambient]

The button is still there during night actions and voting. I have experimented with it, and it does not really affect gameplay.

[creedkingsx]

It does affect it for me.
I have come to find that blank names attract a lot less attention. Just like how a colored name attracts a lot more attention. People get tunnel vision. They are looking down that list on the first night, people are only looking at the names, not looking for a name-button existence.
I, myself, was Godfather once, and I was doing my killing, and was counting names to see if we had majority the next day so that I could reveal to a Witch to vote with myself and my fellow, live mafia member. But, I miscounted and skipped myself, thinking there were 5 people but there was 6.
I don't think it needs to be removed, persay, just pointing out that it does have some affect on the game play.

Yea, Ive used the blank name before.
I died night one. I don't understand how this is abusing the naming system.

[Lazers]

It actually tends to really fuck up support roles I find

especially those roles which can't target, such as citizens and veterans

but if you're actually paying attention to the game it shouldn't make too much of a difference

Shouldn't be penalized for taking advantage of people who don't pay attention
also the easiest way to do it is to add in some html code (like <c val="000000"></c>) which won't show up.

I do <c val="cc0000">
And leave it at that.

I usually pick dark-ish colors, if i'm at the bottom half of the player list no one even notices I got a color different from the usual.

I find jus using the computer generated name pulls alot less attention then making one up... imo

It works if there are many random names in game, if you are alone then you tend to get killed early since the sk and mafia will take "safe" kills early on that no one will protect or heal.
