I was certain that Lewwyn was Rob, and I thought that was obvious to everybody.

I'm not convinced you were Jon. I think you and novice must have switched accounts before the game started and rolls were assigned, to confuse us and Brick as well.

For Muriel, my early game theory was Cyneheard... then I considered Twinkletoes and Roland, before finally giving up. Jowy never crossed my mind.

In general, I'd say that anonymity was a handicap for town, though I can see why people thought it was a fun twist. I tried to respect the variant and not obsess over who was who, even if I could have argued more convincingly e.g. against Serdoa by bringing up his history. In return, I think people could have been a bit more tolerant of the "perpetuated name-finding nonsense". Technically, those who were obscuring their identities were the ones who were anti-town, so I think it was a bit much to vote for me on those grounds. (Besides, people misunderstood my post where I was talking about archetypes and took it as actual identity speculation.)

I didn't mean to be snarky there, I just honestly thought everybody would realize it.

I also thought of myself as someone with a very distinctive style, but apparently I'm not.

I actually wanted to pretend to be Roland, as I had just finished reading WW2, but there's just no way I can write that much

At the risk of excessive metagaming, a masquerade mixed with a 'choose your own character' with your character as your fake name might be fun.
