Yes, all this from my vantage of ignorance on Day 1.
The mods certainly have a cornucopia to choose from for roles.
There are sailfish, barracudas, etc....various types of fish
Then there are sharks, rays, and skates....elasmobranchs
And, squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish....cephalopods, a type of Mollusc
Then they could go downscale to do sea cucumbers, jellyfish, etc.
Might be hard to assign a town vs scum designation based on the role.
Finally, there are 7 DBD players and 9 non-DBD players, but I doubt that has anything to do with intentions, nefarious or otherwise.
This should be interesting....glta.

It seems like most of your list are saltwater, but the initial story made me think more of freshwater species learning to survive. Perhaps freshwater are villagers and saltwater are scum? Idk.

How do you know there are sharks? the opening scene says only about shadows and one Swordfish... are you a Shark pershy?

Maybe we should reveal our animal. I would be happy to reveal my particular type of aquatic life if there were a consensus to do so.

Unless... they claim sharks or other predators but who on earth would claim those or even mention them unless they are these or know they are in the game.

I'm not a native english speaker, but isn't it an idiom?

You doubt there are sharks in a game about the ocean? This strikes me as an odd theory considering sharks are one of the more notorious ocean inhabitants.

Also I reveal our animals would essentially be asking for a mass claim day 1. Lolno.

Agreed...
and pershy, you should know better!
Its abit suspicious of you to even suggest this given the latest DBD game... do you have something you want to tell the group? if you want to admit being scum I wont stop you...

Yes Ragian needs to get in here.

With 16 of us, how many do you think might be scum?

How many of us are playing to win the mafia game and how many are attempting to win credits? That could change how the votes are done.

"Let's all speculate on the mafia/town ratio" is about the least interesting thing that one can possibly say that still looks like one is trying to contribute to serious discussion. I read this as a blatant attempt to gain town cred early on.
