I'm assuming that you mean:

"The game Town of Salem has it's own lore, and you can't bend the rules of that lore" – you're right. But all of that is superficial, not mechanical. It's the difference between calling a role "The Spud" and "The Engineer". There's no real difference. You can't balance a role based off of lore, or a faction. It'd make sense lore-wise for characters controlled by witches to speak in tounges, because that's what happened during the Salem Witch Trials. It'd make sense lore-wise for you only to be able to use names of people in the Salem Witch Trials. Neither of those things are happening, because you don't balance roles and factions off of lore.
