I'd say based on the last game where I kept up the first person posting style. Yes.
And no, I wont be doing that again. It's not easy.

decided to actually put thought into this

I doubt there's resurrections that change alignment unless that's, like, the only power that exists for the team that is doing the resurrection + change

or if there's in-game countermeasures that I don't know about

there may have been such a thing before this setup was down-sized but with a smaller player base I think resurrects + alignment changes are just too powerful and swingy since the proportional effect of changing one slot is much higher

That's pretty much what I thought when I saw it. I figure it's just a just in case thing and is probably only going to be tied to a role changing it's own alignment on revival, kind of like the old Judas thing.

I honestly would not be surprised if that's in the game since the role is basically themed for this style of game and I consider it pretty well known.

I think the best way to treat the possibility of alignment changing upon being revived is to just treat those revived as if they are not the same slot/role/alignment that was prior to death unless someone actually claims the mechanic that lead to their revival in which case they would be judged based on if that is believable or not.

It might not be likely that a lot of people would be changing alignments, but it would be the safer approach.

I'm gonna hedge and say flipped scum coming back as scum over and over makes for a super dull game where we just go into a cycle of flipping the same player over and over.

Anyways, fuck mech talk til we have some flips, it feels like a waste of time.

I assume that's why there is double lynching mechanics.
Specifically because scum will be reviving themselves.
