Speaking for myself, I'm pretty sure that at some point (pretty early on) I'd not be able to keep myself from slipping back into my usual verbal pomposity.
I fear you're more than right here Kuru. That is the real problem. Under pressure one tends to go for one's normal self and that's it. But maybe we could try? I don't know. That was why I asked your opinions...

As we discussed this earlier (if I remember this right?), I love the idea, but it would require some really wholeheartedly involved Downers to actually carry the masque of another Downer. It would be more than fun indeed. It would be just great, but it would require lots of involvement too. We should have to require an oath before the gamethat everyone is knowingly bound to playing a certain role... Those roles could surely be handled secrectly between the Mod and the players and the players should have the freedom to choose anyone they wish?

Sorry to be pessimistic about this one. Even though I would love it!
(Just thinking of myself playing in a role of fex. my daughter Lommy - being able to be as witty as she is and as flip-floppy at the same time! )
