I'm going to play along for a sec.

Since you seem to be arguing semantics, please show where I said he "would be raided down to 0 water". I was replying directly to your statement which said that you can't die from lack of water. I will grant you that I didn't register the "at night" part.


This is all besides the fact that your base logic is flawed. Why would a Khanate raid a GoB player. They are allied.

My initial question was simply trying to determine where Karosis got his water as he stated on thread. There is no Bazaar transaction that would indicate as such.


It ain't what you say it's the way that you say it


AKA "I'm an idiot who didn't think through what I said."

ok, got it.

Sigh... listen well class.

1. The raider could be on a tile that does not have the khalif's justice.

2. There are like 5 different things Karo could do between now and dawn to get the water he didn't get off the market though probably at greater cost.

3. He still will not die at dawn unless he has 0 water. Even if he were raided (which Olar Ethil just throws out of nowhere as a justificiation for thinking Karo will surely be dead???) who is to say that the raiders will leave him with 0 water rather than 3?


You really are quibbling here Ruse. All I wanted to say is that 0 water at dawn = dead.


Well duh.

Hey galain did you know getting assassinated can kill you too?! I'm learning so fucking much today that I didn't already know!


It only seemed like the point where you and OE were talking past each other.

Because OE just threw it in out of nowhere and adding it onto her seeming surety that Karosis would be dead by dawn it looks to me like a strange slip.

But yes obviously I realize that if Karosis is low on water and is raided to potentially lose more water and didn't buy any off the bazaar and doesn't pray to any god who assists his water consumption imbalance and also has no items or retainers which can improve his water and can't purchase a central administration upgrade to gain an extra water and can't move to the mirror to obtain more and can't use any night actions that allow him to create more water and doesn't have any sort of revival or anti-death ability that would prevent it than he will die at dawn if the water consumption rate of his character is greater than the amount in his storage.

So OE is a Khanate and raiding Karosis tonight. Got it.



Plus why would a Khan raid a known ally in Karosis who is GoBs. insert smart ass comment about failure to read the thread.

Sorry PS, I normally agree with everything you say, but the time stamps argument is weak. It's quite clear from the conversation in the thread that Karosis bought that water well after the lynch - he even asks for it AFTER the lynch!

But whatever, I won't continue to belabour the point after this [adds 100 water, 5 artefacts, 13 silk and 3 sexy dancers to his storage] ;)

Yeah, there's no way this is legit. I was watching the Bazaar as I hammered and I can confirm no water was listed at the time. As Atrahal said, Karosis didn't even REQUEST the water till after the hammer, so whoever put it up to help him out could not have even had the thought in his mind to do it until Day ended.

Lame. Karosis gets to eat a bag of dicks now.

Fuck. Off topic:

I've had this desk in this room for 8 years. Went to plug in a new external drive. Digging around under the desk, behind the desk, behind the file cabinet looking for an outlet. Then got curious and started tracing cords back. I have 2 power strips plugged into the one outlet on this wall. And SEVEN power strips plugged into those two. No fucking wonder the lights dim when I turn my stereo on.

There is always a little bit of 'good faith' involved.


G61V - 2 Water for 1000 Dinari each (as per P-S - these HAVE been bought)

I am enjoying this game immensely. It is quite obvious that Tapper (and others) have put huge amounts of time, creativity, and sweat into it.

I also have a rather flexible set of ethics in both real life and gaming.

But when you've been caught, you know you've been caught, and you know everyone else knows you've been caught, to brazen it out like that is rather ridiculous.
