    So I've got 2 ideas for murder mayhem to make players more "randomized", to make the game more fair and attempt to reduce cheating.

    1. Randomize Names - Names would become randomly generated strings of characters, "9dieoyna7d02" for example, that are all the same length. They will also be obfuscated with &k, so tab doesn't look like a complete clusterf*** of letters. The purpose of this would be to make it impossible to identify people by their username on tab. As things are now, the only thing that happens to names on tab is they get obfuscated with &k. Which does seem to be effective at first, but there are a few ways to get past this:
    a) You can still technically "see" their name. Most of the time I'm usually the only person in the game with a name that has 4 letters, so it's pretty easy to tell who I am by just glancing at tab. Also since some characters are a different size, such as i and k, it makes it really easy to tell where they are placed in the username. Also there are a few ways to "disable" the &k effect, so you can easily see everyone's usernames regardless. And it doesn't really help that we can just hit tab in chat and get a full list of everyone's usernames for reference.
    b) You can still identify players by their skins, even if their name is jumbled up. Which brings us into the next suggestion.

    2. Randomize Skins - This would create a list of randomly-generated skins and assign a different unique skin to each player. This would make it a lot harder to identify someone by simply looking at their skin; though you would still be able to view their skin and call them out if you watched them kill someone. Another reason I believe this should be added is because some people like to rig the games by having massive amounts of people with the exact same skin. This is unfair to everyone else in the game because then, if one of them is the murderer, it will be impossible to identify them. Also they will most likely be teaming and trying to help the murderer win, so that doesn't make the Bystanders' or Detective's jobs any easier. If this was implemented, no one would have the same skin, so you would be able to easily identify the murderer by their skin.

    Anyways those are my two cents, feel free to share your opinions below.

    Hey Ankh,

    This would definitely be an improvement for usernames to be randomized and obscured other than just &k.
    I kinda enjoy how skins are at the moment, where someone will say "blue skin is murderer!" and stuff like that. Adds to the gameplay.

    That would still be a part of the gameplay; only change is everyone would have a unique skin. So once the murderer was found you'd be able to easily identify them, and large groups of friends wouldn't be able to rig the game by all having the same skin.

    Honestly, a good idea for Murder Mayhem is removing the player list when the game starts. Then it would give the Murderer an advantage to win. And I've won a game and the skin was given out.

    I don't play murder mayhem often, in fact I think I've logged on to it about 10 times in total. However, I don't see a problem with either of your suggestions and I believe they should be implemented. Good luck with your suggestions.

    Hey Ankh!

    Personally I love how it is now. I am not a huge fan of identifying by username even if it is not the real name.

    It’s fun going “Its #4 on tab” or “It’s the penguin skin” but yeah.

    Having a list of random skins would be cool I guess as obviously the murderer from last round wouldn’t go again straight after usually as it is 1% chance (But I know it is possible still it has happened to me before.

    Anyway they are my personal opinions for murder mayhem

    Have a Nice Day
    All The Best

    For me, I usually get a 5% chance of murderer when the game gets to 16 players. When the game has 3-10 players, I usually have a 26% chance of murderer.

    Hey!

    As an active player of murder mayhem, I really like this idea! as said above, its true that it'd still be easy to point out the murderer if the skins are randomized, but I like the idea of equalizing and randomizing the length of each person's IGN. It'd be pretty cool if this was added!
