    There are a few things about this role pm that strike me as very false. The first is the objective.The simple venomian objective of staying alive is written out much longer than this, and the word survive is bold. The objective of surviving is also not listed as a personal objective in either the venomian, or star wolf role pms.
    This is a small change, that could just be due to inconsistent formating, but it draws suspicion in my opinion.

    The ability of keeping CDF loyal also strikes me as unlikely. There has been no sign throughout the game or the write-ups of anyone attempting to convert others. If any member of Star Wolf could convert to venomian (which would be very odd lore wise) it would be more believable. If a member of star wolf has the ability to keep venomians loyal, I'll buy it, but if not, it is fake. It would be fake because we would have seen some converted Venomians by now.

    Also, the role of General Pepper does not strike me as one that is in this game. He has barely been in the write-ups, and The Bloodhound has never even been mentioned. All other members of the team have been mentioned together in few write-ups.

    There is also no quicktopic html for the town power roles.

    Finally, there is no sum up of objectives after the picture of the ship like for venomians and i suspect others.


    While these format differences are subtle, I believe that ATPG would have used a template then filled in all the roles with that template. This role breaks that template and is also stated in briefer language in general, invalidating it in my opinion.

    Not proof of a faked role pm I know, but Seon showed us it is possible to be convincing, so by looking at the details I don't think we should just buy into this.
