@nyquildotorg critically you can make ungendered language sound cooler, it mostly involves not thinking like a centrist politician

@nyquildotorg "we have summoned the snow people" > "we made snowmen"
"my house is surrounded by the snow people" > "there are snowmen in my yard"

@nyquildotorg Snowmen in the general case is an interesting predicament, because on one hand male-is-default is problematic, but on the other hand I agree that Snowperson is excessively politically correct especially considering that the reason young girls can never grow up to be Snowmen is not because of sexism but because they are embodied in flesh and are not made of snow.
However, I would like to point out that "the snow people" sounds mysterious and exciting.

I am going to try this variant next time I play Werewolf, and see how it plays out.

The players on this show mentioned some of their information sources: who talks to whom, who avoids others, who accuses whom, who votes against whom. Stephen Fry even mentioned how Traitors have to stay up later than everyone else -- very useful! Surprisingly, they never used this info, and unsurprisingly they got beat.

@nyquildotorg man-in-the-middle is fine because that's not a profession or an identity category. Superman is a fictional character who as far as I am aware has a straightforward masculine gender identity, so using gendered words for him is appropriate. Superman is not a profession or an identity category. Same applies to Frosty the Snowman in specific.

I love playing Werewolf, but almost always play with a Seer and a Healer. The intense variant played on traitors, with such a huge numerical advantage for the Faithful, offset by the huge information advantage of the Traitors, is new to me. There's really so little information for the Faithful to use, which is really exciting.

There's so much to learn about leadership and solidarity from this show. Joe didn't start taking leadership initiative until late in the game, even though he had clocked the Traitors very early on. The others remained distrustful far too long, and kept thinking individually rather than as a group. Kate, the 6th person removed and a Faithful, was constantly dithering over others' doubts in her, rather than doing the work of finding the Traitors.
