What Sorrit says also lends strength to the suspicion that Fener is not the cause of the 'can't vote Fener' affliction.

The Hadj tile action makes it possible to move several tiles in one cycle, but I would assume that would be announced as in effect like the other tile actions?


Not quite:

Hadj (8 Worship)
Target any tile in the game. You and everyone on your current tile is moved to it, at a movement rate of one tile per phase, through the shortest route possible

It seems like a forced migration rather than an insta-move.

Edit: to remove bold and underline critical part

Yes, one tile per phase, and there are 5 phases per cycle, ergo you could move 5 tiles in one cycle....

Edit: Added 'one'

Might need to be clarified by Tapper. Phase, to me, signified "day/night phase cycle" as it often does in his descriptions.

That being said, we'd probably get at least one heads up of forced-movement on thread if it were the case. Maybe not though. And it'd be announced on thread like all other tile actions.

No, you're conflating two different things :)

'Phase' means dawn or day or battle or dusk or night.

'Cycle' means the whole damn thing.

'Phase Cycle' is something you've invented just now :twoguns:

In any case we'd know if hadj was invoked, right?

re: the vote-block ability, perhaps everyone affected was on the same tile when the vote-block action was called or something?

I'm starting to get my drink on. There will be use of creative license.

Nevertheless, would be a tile thing that would be stated.

Yes, I too assume it would be stated. Which again suggests that Fener did not come up with the 'no vote on Fener' himself.

which would mean someone wants to frame Fener.

Which you should notice quite a few of us have brought up.

This game might take a while to finish, I think. Frankly, I like it like that. Taps put a lot of thought into it, might as well pay it off.

I think some understanding is more than most. Bits and pieces maybe, but most of this shit is in the shadows for me.
