You're quite useful! Just badgering usually does nothing but make me angry. In this case though it actually helped. I think you're missing the point with the finder stuff, but it doesn't matter anyway, I refuted my own point (or GL's rather) in my mind while I was explaining it.

Anyone else having problems with the mobile skin?

I know this is only a side issue to what you guys have been discussing, but in my opinion there is more than one finder. However, this does not preclude the possibility that any finder is selling info on their own faction - if those contracts are their primary way of raising money, then they might do it, and hope that people from the same faction buy them.

Awww. :(

So just to clarify, you do or you don't agree with GL that Merrid and Korlat can't be on the same faction?

Another thought occurred to me. There might be an independent finder who can sell information, but doesn't actually see it themselves. Since they're independent, they're not worried about selling out a teammate, and they can make some money off the information.

I too have come to the conclusion that Korlat and I are on the same team. And kudos to whoever it was (dont remember now) who said "you think he's revealing his real title and not something more ambiguous?" I mean, duh, this is mafia. My info ended up being so cheap anyways I just have to accept that several people know who I am.

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking might be the case.

WTF is this shit?

Quote

C21W, Merrid is suspected of the maltreatment of an entertainer. The first player to target Merrid with a guard, find, attack, raid, assassination, or theft ability gains 1000 dinari. Merrid can purchase this contract for 1000 dinari.


I don't even HAVE an entertainer. Can people just make up any shit they want in the wording of their contract?

I don't agree. I see where he's coming from, but the fact that there have been 2 different people everyday takes away from it.

I suppose if I'm dead, I'm dead.

Otherwise, good luck in terms of any of the other actions. In preparation of raiders or thieves I just bought the materials I need and built some stuff, so my stores are almost gone. I haven't taken any night actions, nor will I tonight so a guard will be wasted as well.

Holy crap. Merrid, what did you need with all that jewelry? That seems excessive.

Uh, methinks something went down on the bazaar. But why do you think it's Merrid?

Well he said he just spent all his money. Idk if the timing matches up, since I'm mobile but yeah, seemed likely.

I think the timing matches up within about 5 or 10 minutes. Could be wrong though

Like 15 jewelry.. must be an upgrade? Can't think of an ability where that would make sense.

If I had to guess I think that entertainer is suppose to be a clue as to whom was asking for the contract. But that is just a guess.

Possibly related to the Festival of Masks mentioned in previous scenes? That's my only guess really.

Also, TODAY ALONE, the faction, titles, and last night action of myself, Omtose, and Merrid were all each sold 3 times. Just today. That is a lot of cash and a lot of info, you greedy bastards.

Someone just sold yours for free, if you look at the last contract.
