There's a reason why I'm choosing not to hard claim at this moment in time, I mean if I need to obviously I will but I feel like it would be a bad idea, and I personally think it's worth being as vague yet as informative as I can, even though it might be annoying.anyway
i agree with hunter (and ender i think) on wanting a proper hard claim from you. Your role can't be that helpful if you all you do is learn obnoxiously useless names such as 'king flippy nips', outside of judging whether or not they qualify as terrorists in the rick and morty canon (do note that this game is non-canonical, too).
that said, i'm confused as to why the birdperson role can get birdflu in addition to someone else. If i had to guess i'd say that either birds are the only ones to be able to get bird flu, or birds give other people bird flu. That that said, my role name is, canonically, pretty displaced from the concept of the galactic federation and galactic terrorists so i'd say that's another thing supporting the notion of us having no idea how close to canon we can expect the alignments/roles to be.
that that that said, mr meeseeks can we get some indication of that or no
Also I thought that with it saying "Non-canonical" it was a joke like "this shouldn't be recorded as canonical for fans of the series" rather than a "this doesn't align with the series" so that's why I still believed it was relevant, but who knows I guess
And with regards to the bird flu, I'll say again that with the context and heavily implied text I was given, I can't see how it makes sense that Arelic has bird flu, even taking into account t the real-world bird flu nature. On one hand I'm slightly more trusting of her since I don't know how she would have been able to know I got bird flu, for her to be able to copy me to seem legit, if she didn't legitimately get it herself (although she could be some kind of Josef/Joseph/Ooglie wirer/tapper spy role that sees host messages to players and chose me last night), but on the other hand, it just doesn't make sense to me how she could have gotten it, so a part of me feels like she must be lying.
Also I find it kinda hard to believe that Aqua made a Rick and Morty game and didn't stick at least relatively close to the story of the show when assigning factions (e.g enemies of the galactic federation, who he specifically described town as, as Mafia), but that's just me
So all in all I'm suspicious of Arelic and do find her vibing weirdly too so
Although I'd also be interested in getting someone else today too since if Arelic is infected then she'll die tonight anyway and if she's alive tomorrow then we can deal with her then (and if I'm alive as well as her, we can infer that either we have 2 doctor-type roles or Arelic is lying and wasn't infected), and by that point we'll hopefully have more roles alongside factions to work with to decide whether or not her being Birdman suggests she's Mafia or not
I'm getting weird vibes from mariosatr right now and I also feel like lynching Danni would be a decent option so I'd probably consider voting on those two people out of anyone so far, if I had to name names
