Hey what happened to all of my posts?
My first post has a quote in it, I had to fix some stuff in the most hosted, do the others have similar problems?

there are probably more
just copy/paste from your topic

Vigilante - 2 or 3 times in the game, can kill 1 player at night. Wins if they make it to the end.
to fix all the kangablue mocking of "vigilavanite".

Now that it moved here:

By the way, can we finally rename Inuit? It's same thing as having a role named "Caucasian" or "African-American". It can be renamed to anything that isn't the name of an ethnicity and tribe of people, please.

How about Arctic Trapper?

[Abu]

I mean, Nickito’s on charge of the roles but I’ll ask Qazikol if he has any ideas since it was his.

[Abu]

Qazikol said neither of the above suggestions makes sense, he didn’t have any himself so said just give it something that makes sense.

Well, since it’s formerly Inuit, why not something in Inuktitut?

Ikajuktinak means "shaman/necromancer" in Inuktitut. We could make that slightly easier to pronounce. It also sounds pretty cool, in any case. Ikajuktinak.

[Abu]

Chieftain

That doesn’t really fit the reviving stance it has. Chieftain would fit a more "leader" town role.

[Abu]

Arctic Wolf and Inuit don't have much to do with reviving either

They are Arctic themed.

I know. Why not name it after a leader or shaman in the Inuit culture?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angakkuq

Instead of Chieftain, call it Angakkuq.

[Nickito]

let's go with something pronounceable
imo Inuit is fine, but if that won't fly let's go like Shaman or something
it's not going to be used very often so I can't imagine confusion with Wolf Shaman

[Abu]

I feel like Angakkuq is nice and easy to pronounce. We could just romanise it to Angakuk.

Arctic Shaman is a bit less unique and creative but it definitely isn’t bad. We should probably hold a poll between those two, or another option if someone has one.

[Abu]

I mean, most people don’t seem to mind leaving it as Inuit

It's really not the best name. It is an ethnicity. Like I said, it's the equivalent of a role being called "Caucasian" or "African-American". If we had roles named that there'd probably be more outrage since the Inuit are only really known in Canada/USA/Denmark.

[Bandero]

Inuit isn't offensive or anything... it's just a specific ethnicity that happens to be associated with the Arctic.

Reading the role description, it doesn't even make sense that it's called that. The role revives people, and has nothing to do with the Arctic.

[Nickito]

So it looks we all agree on keeping Inuit aside from Lusamine

[Abu]

Most people really don't care Lusamine

Well boo-hoo for you and the other people because I do. Once again, if we had a Caucasian role someone would notice and get all offended like when people got triggered when a game had Atheist as a role. Inuit doesn’t even fit it thematically or in any way. At least Arctic Shaman/Angakuk (which means Shaman) fit its necro-abilities.

Ange (anger without R) Uhh *cack* OOhk
I like pronounciable names better

If you have basic pronunciation comprehension skills then it’s very easy to pronounce.

[Abu]

actually the game that had Atheist as a role never was passed by the bidding poll

but kk cool beans

Correct, I meant that when it was in the bidding, sorry for confusion.

[Nickito]

it's super cringey
I don't recommend reading it
