This concerns me, as it is a misrepresentation of what happened. What happened was that Rico made a post calling a female player a "he". A reasonable mistake, as her user name is "Canuck" and her avatar a hockey player. Then one minute later, with no one posting inbetween or correcting him, he corrected himself.
At that point we were several hundred posts into the game, and he did NOT have time in one minute to review the thread to see if anyone else had used a female pronoun for Canuck. He got flak for it, talked his way out of it, and went on to win the game as a baddie.
So the fact that he is misrepresenting this, and that he is concerned about making the correct pronoun choices gets my eye.

This links to the two posts.
Linki~ I know I would be expected to pick Indy; it's what I generally pick if given a choice, or baddie. But since I know that the people who know me will agree that that is true, I deleted the first list and reread the civvie roles, and made a new list. WIFOM to the max, yes, but true.
Of the people I know playing I might expect MM to choose civvie roles in general, and Rico to possibly do something similar to what I did, make a list of Indy/bad roles, anticipate this line of discussion and revise his list; which is why I say that what he did concerns me, but I have not voted for him yet. I could see Bass preferring to be bad BUT not bothering to submit a list. TGG has the confidence level to be telling the truth about not submitting a list, but he also has the balls to lie about it. I do not know Scotty or Sig well enough to say for sure, but I would expect Scotty to pick civ on short aquaintance. No idea about sig, the one game I have played with him is ongoing and he is alive and unrevealed.
The who would pick what thing is a lot of WIFOM, but sometimes on Day One it is better than nothing.
Oh goodie, first round of rebuttals is Syndicate vs. Syndicate.
Firstly, I don't understand what you say I'm misrepresenting. I didn't say my gender screw up
in that game became the fad. I said me screwing up genders
itself became a fad! I constantly tend to do it, even to present day. Sure, it didn't actually pick up among members as a big fad, the way MM self-voting or dying on Day 1 did, but it's still a notable screwy trait of mine. So what exactly did I misrepresent? Aren't you actually misrepresenting and, further, trying to craft a case now on it? Hmm.
Secondly, nice paint there. "Rico got himself out of the gender slip and sailed to victory as a baddie; ergo Rico is cautious about genders when a baddie." Except nope, I got myself out of the gender slip back then because people read too much into it and it didn't mean anything to the game. It was a "reasonable mistake", just like you said, and that's all it was, but now you're going back at it and misrepresenting it again only to paint my baddie portrait. I got flak for many other things in Film and got away from them, stuff like
defending my teammate from getting lynched, so you're idea of my gender mistake being significant is completely false.
Also, I am stunned how your interpretation of the events is still so erroneous. "Then
one minute later, with no one posting inbetween or correcting him, he corrected himself." Uhm, exactly? It's called realizing my slip and correcting myself. "he did NOT have time in one minute to review the thread to see if anyone else had used a female pronoun for Canuck." Except that Llama, literally one post above mine, had said "she" and "her" about Canuck. I think one minute is reasonable time to notice that, if you ask me.
Thirdly, me being "concerned about making the correct pronoun choice" happened in plenty other games I played since Film, you are free to check them and evaluate if they mean anything about my gameplay and alignment, but it doesn't. Most of the time I asked the same question when new players joined the forum or when it was my first time I played with them. Basically preliminary simple question, if you ask me. My concern that "I still screw up genders even after writting down" is also consistent with Watchmen Day 4 or 5 when ika subbed and I still kept called him a she, even after asking about his gender and such. Indicative of anything else, except how much I tend to screw up genders (which is exactly my initial point)? No.
So congrats, you are now my first suspect for misrepresenting and painting it to be more than it is about my gender question.
