Hell, I haven't known the themes of about 75% of the ones I've been in. I google characters when I'm given a name to work with, but that's about it.I think they're randomized 95% of the time. One early comment from mj (I think) was "I don't know this theme. You think the mayor would assign me a special role?" That kind of thinking is not smart IMO. Mayors don't/ shouldn't care about that.
