Tax Collector. From my notes
Goes live 4:59 am
5:04 Galain fp
5:08 am. Bey of RtI and SoC slaver camp 9 minutes after game went live. Pre-existing action PMs
5:51 am. Tax Collector I assume that is an action, so Galain, spite, or Atrahal

If you were gonna perform an action that'd piss off everyone else in the game, why would you publicly check in right around the time it's announced by P-S?

Then why are attacking me?
Is it not because of the fact that I... posted a little after Tax-Collector collected?

That's the first hour of the game. I'm assuming that the Bey and SoC slaver camp were Action PMs sent in pregame.

But tax collector isn't announced for another 40 minutes.

Only Galain, Atrahal and spite had posted. Spite's first post of "I'm here, going to work" was five minutes before the Tax Collector announcement.

While it is possible that PS had a PM from somebody saying "do X 54 minutes after the game starts", I think it was Spite.


The tax collector could just have easily sent it in to P-S then waited a few hours to check in, as Telas did.


Could be. but the next person to check in was Ano, an hour and a half later.

If Karosis is likely to have put up a Sacrosanct, why do people vote for him? Seems like a waste to me.


Are you reading the thread?


Voting someone to get him to activate Sacro makes sense, but keeping voting for them after it is activated does not.

Here.
Yes, I was lurking,waiting to see whether this stupidity will wear off if i ignore it.
Seems not.
As I like to live:

Vote Karosis




I really don't understand why would i out myself like that on thread if I was the tax collector.But I can see myself wanting to buy an upgrade or a retainer at the start of the day maybe,and the fucking tax collector interrupting.


Except you know by now that death and taxes are the only inevitable things in life. There's no way you wouldn't have expected the tax collector to collect, and the way you reacted after he (you) has been on our balls all game sets off my bullshit detector.

Well that's bullshit.
It maybe an ability that has a cost,it maybe an ability that is only for the first X days of the game,I may have used an upgrade I hoped would stop him from getting my taxes.
And I could have hoped that with an empty treasury and money that comes in at the start of the day,he wouldn't get my money.
Your logic is faulty.You are just trying to incriminate someone else for a reason that the thread does not know.
It's the best way to attack someone this game...really!
Look guys!He looks like the tax collector!Lynch him before he gets away!
Also, you may want to consider the fact that the tax collector,even if he started with an empty treasury in the day,would most probably(if a small number of people had empty treasuries) buy enough worship to throw up a Sacro.




Dude you reacted like someone had punched you in the dick when the tax collector came by as per usual and took his 500 dinari. And it's resolved at dawn every single day, so you certainly can't suggest you got the timing off unless you're woefully incompetent.

And many people suspect that Karosis did NOT in fact put up the Sacrosanct but is trying to claim it to avoid a lynch. Read thread much?

No, I'm attacking you because of the gross over-reaction you had after the tax collector collected for the 6th time, at the same, predictable time and method he's been collecting taxes all game.

*Scratches head*
Where was it written that the action resolves at dawn each day?
I can't remember the part about the dawn,about it being each day and about it being automatic.
And,as I said.I got a little money AFTER dawn and I had to give it to Tax-collector.
thus the anger.
Also,punches that really hurt are in the nuts not the dick.

So if Tulas & Telas switch that's a lynch. And Tulas claims he wants a lynch in general, whereas Telas wants to protect himself...

Seems like a suitable course of action to me.

It's what you do in mass info-less faction games. Rapid switching reveals A LOT of faction info. Everyone wants to find their teammates after all. Risk vs reward.






And it's heaps of fucking fun!

Silanah, you've made a lot of posts since the idea of lynching the tax collector resurfaced. Shakespeare, protesteth too much, etc?

I am willing to switch, but I still strongly prefer Karosis over Tellan. If it comes time to hammer, ok. But they are one vote apart. I don't understand the mass swing from Karosis at L-1 to Tellan, which is why I'm hesitating.

The tax collector has always collected shortly after dawn / day is resolved. I assumed it's dawn since it's instant but it could just as easily be the start of day--true enough, regardless of how technical a distinction that would be. But my point still stands, you'd have to be retarded to have not expected the tax collection. If you got a little money AFTER dawn, does that mean you expected the tax collector to collect at dawn???

I think you just contradicted yourself ya hypocrite.
