that is an interesting fermi problem.

the number should be at least two, one town and one scum gunsmith. probably at least 3 by adding a backup gunsmith.

i believe a backup gunsmith becomes a gunsmith regardless of what kind of gunsmith's death causes that. Backup is a modifier to the role gunsmith, meaning "you can't use your role until a gunsmith has died"; it is not saying "when a gunsmith dies, you will become their role", it's saying "when a gunsmith dies, you will become a gunsmith".

ping bc there might not actually be a game that can go into signups until this passes!

Is this a pass?

this is going into signups once it's officially /pass'd i believe

oh man i am kinda torn on that. I think it's probably a good idea in theory but bad in practice due to standardization, because there's a definite world in which the person who gets it mentions (paraphrasing) that their role pm mentioned that kind of thing, and then that leads to speculation over role PM phrasing which is an avoid at all costs type thing in normals.
