He advocated murdering someone in broad daylight. That's not passive aggressive. Just aggressive.

And I approve of dayvigging for no reason.

I've never understood this argument and always felt that calling godfathers and ninjas "bastard" is to extend the bastard description so far as to render it completely meaningless.

Same with cop sanities.

Without these counters, cops are so powerful that no half-decent mod would ever include a cop of any manner. It's basically an "I Win" button for town.

I do think it's an attempt to shift the meaning to "roles that screw up other roles", in which case you can probably argue that EVERY power role would be bastard in some way.

When I think "bastard," I don't think of things that can be foreseen such as "oh, I may have an innocent on a Godfather," or "Oh, I may not be a Sane Cop."

I think of Space Monkey Mafia when I think of "bastard." To me, that was the quintessential example of a bastard game.

People on this site have stretched the word "bastard" to such a ridiculous length that they complain about millers, godfathers, and cop sanities. Unless you're explicitly told that your results are 100% certain, you should assume there's a possibility you're not sane / Miller / godfather.
