A role is a mark before the name now: ☠ renegade, ⚔ reaper, ★ judge. Hover a mark and it says what it means.
The word no longer repeats on every line of chat, and the colon keeps its place.
The reapers tab spoke the council's words - "Stand for the council" on the reapers' page. Fixed.
The full list of changes
01The marks
A mark before the name rather than a word after it: chat is scanned down its left edge, and nothing following a name of variable length lines up into a column.
Only the warning recolours the name. A reaper and a judge are offices, and an office is not an alarm; a person's name should look the same whoever they are, or you stop recognising people.
Over a head only the renegade is drawn. A name floating over somebody is read in a hurry, and the only thing that changes what you do in that second is the mark.
02Why these marks
All three come from the game's crisp font, checked against the atlas itself. A character it lacks falls through to the fallback font - a different height and weight, and it reads as a rendering fault.
A judge wanted scales, and the scales are not in the crisp font. Hence a star.
The mark is itself a second cue beside the colour, and a stricter one than the word was: a skull is not a pair of swords in greyscale, while a word in a language you do not have is no cue at all.
03Smaller things
Earning a mark now tells you so in words - a mark on its own teaches nobody.
The guide names all three marks, and reads them out of the code rather than typing them into a sentence.
Seating a reaper by command answers in grey: gold here means a seat is taken, and a console's reply looked like an event in the world.
