I'd love to have the option to Anonymize the players in a private game. One of the codes of conduct in Subterfuge is to not make any deals/opinions in one game affect the next right? Problem is, our group holds grudges between games, and in negotiation/political/diplomacy like games, that results in me getting targeted by the entire group (because I win too often >_<).
It would be nice to have a feature to just change everyone's name into their respective color so you can't tell who is who until the game is over. So instead of:
John
Bill
Cindy
Greg
it would show:
Blue
Red
Green
Purple

As an option for the game creator to set, I definitely support this.

Just asking, wouldn't one recognize another through their speech patterns? We repeat ourselves a lot after all.
Great idea btw.

I was thinking that disguising your typing/word use would just be a new layer of the game

I'd agree but this makes things just another technicality in a technical game

It's in the works as a creator option for potential future update. Suggested and agreed upon by many players as a fun option or toggle.

Why don't we make into a game mode. Mystery mode
Here's how it would work
1. Players names are not revealed(until game ends, so just the color shows)
2. Sonar range reduced by 50%
3. Mines cannot be detected outside sonar range
4. All subs have a 25% speed increase
5. Players are not notified when other players hire/promote specialists
6. No intelligence officers in the game
