Nice to see you Galain. What is it? 5 or 6 posts in the last 2 hours. What is happening for you to come out of the lurker pool?

The Karosis lynch failed for unknown reasons, but not because of sacro. That's why we looked up the building and the Mahesh Honor Guard.

There is a faction specific retainer called the Mahesh Honor Guard or something like that which is destroyed instead of you when you get lynched and iirc we assumed that Karosis was saved by that retainer.
No. That building was a possibility. The other possibility is that Karosis is Atif
Didn't both come down to the retainer?
No. The building is a faction specific SINGLE use per game.
The retainer can be recruited again the next day.
Um, guys, didn't Karosis say this just before you two started debating:
Karosis, on 27 November 2012 - 04:32 PM, said:
Mahesh Quarter. It's a GoB faction specific building. I thought that had pretty much been figured out.
Which would be why he would buy 6 Worship and Sacrosanct The Miror. Because the building is single use only. Now who put that 6 Worship up for Karosis to buy - Ruuuuuuuuuuse?

Ok, so I'm ready to grudgingly believe that it is Karosis who has sacro'd the Mirror. So I am willing to switch my vote. But to who? If Fener is the Qadi, then lynching him will simply get rid of his lynchproof, so would not be an actual lynch (but nicely in keeping with the rest of the game thus far

Spite may be also protected by that Sacro, BUT they may also still be in the Northern Desert. I have no idea where Ruse is, so he may not be protected by anything either. At the moment I'm leaning towards one of these two - unless people would prefer to see what happens with Fener's lynching.

Seriously don't fight though we don't have the time for it.
With the Hadjs and sacro up north I don't think we can lynch Karo or Fener. Do we want to try and lynch someone else? There is already a vote on Atrahal from Spite (I forget why). I haven't done any lynch pushing on someone in the alliance since like day 2 and according to Atrah I am GoB who are rivals of the NP so I have no problems voting Atrah who I think is NP. Plus fewer assassinations is always good IMO.
remove vote
Vote Atrahal

I may like the spunk of Karosis' jib but if I had worship on a day like today when I am in potential danger I would be keeping it for myself not selling it to him!

Shouldn't the question be why I went into the lurker pool after the first week? Oh wait, the first week was where you belonged to the lurker pool.
The answer to that would be a busy RL and frustrating non-lynches taking away my enthusiasm to participate despite that away, btw.

Perhaps that's an idea - although some players are going to curse you: they have been jumping tiles and collecting benefits from multiple tiles for most of the game so far.

You don't get the benefits of both.
Instead, you target people and are targeted by people as if you were on both tiles (or all tiles travelled to/from) that phase.

I'll say that I comment on this in SH and echo the sentiment - had expected to be down 2-4 more players at this point, and will take the blame for it.

Yeah, I was a no poster the first week. That's why I haven't pushed any low poster lynches. I wasn't actually asking/commenting about the number of your posts. I was pointing out that you have posted 6 times in 2 hours. Therefore something on thread has your attention. That is worth noting.

Careless wording on my part. The Northern Desert is an ongoing effect: it checks are you there? Then immune to actions from outside. The check says 'no' as soon as you leave it.
Effects that say 'once per phase, collect X' have a check that checks if the ability has been used yet.
I realise that I shot way past the mark with the tiles and travel (and a couple of other things) - I guess ToD 1.0 is more like a beta than a 1.0
