[Silanah]

Checking in. I have exams today and monday so I won't be around much, though.

[Ruse]

So it doesn't specifically say that only one person can fulfill a quest but it does say "and be quicker than your rivals". If it is that only one person can fulfill it then that combines with only doing one objective per phase is painful - you could do four objectives and each time be one behind someone else winding up with spending a bunch of stuff on nothing.

[Ruse]

and there goes the black marble shaving again...

[Ruse]

And the thread goes dead again.

Well anyways I think the quest is going to be an interesting diversion but not have much on-thread impact. Getting back to the issue at hand I don't support Telas' notion of everyone acting like they are in the alliance. Act however you want! Be dynamic! Maybe you'll slip up and reveal yourself or maybe not!

The Nepeth Empire tile getting all these upgrades should be interesting too though since I bet a bunch of players will all rally there. Since the Khan Stepps are right next door it'll probably include them too so we might see some Khan-vs-Nep action tonight which would be a nice change of pace from the boring no lynch/no one dies at night tradition we have so far

[Telas]

OK.
I think the guy with all that cheap grain/water/worship is a Nepeth who bought yesterday's Contract of "extra dinarii for goods sold"

I thought Nepeth weren't supposed to have lots of water? The Grain and Worship I could understand though. OTOH they werent all stuck on the bazaar at once so it is hard to tell for sure.

[Atrahal]

Back for a wee bit.

First, contract C24? Seriously, dude, follow the numbering sequence.

Second, I'm not sure contract C60K is a valid thing you can do. Otherwise all those who have the ability to use the bazaar could put up contracts saying they will NOT do something which they probably can't do anyway. "2000 dinari and I promise NOT to sleep with your wife!"

Could be a contract that makes it so that guards don't work on you, rather than an "I won't guard you if you pay me" contract like you're assuming.

[Silanah]

Are you even allowed to offer that up for contract if you don't have an ability explicitly doing so?

You can make contracts for players to vote or to use abilities without having an ability that let's you do so.

Really? Doesn't it explicitly say somewhere that you have to be able to fulfill a contract in order for a contract to be put on the bazaar?

Because they are the result of abilities, each such contract can be created only once per phase.
Faking one of these contracts will lead to immediate modkill.

[Karosis]

And I just checked the bazaar, and both contracts follow the format noted above, so they must be ability-related contracts.

[Ruse]

There's 3 kinds of contracts.

for players to vote a certain way:

Path-Shaper, on 14 November 2012 - 12:21 PM, said:

3: offer a contract for a player to be voted on;

Quote

<C1A> # dinari for each player who has their vote on player X at the end of the day.

for standard usage of an ability on someone (could be yourself):

Path-Shaper, on 14 November 2012 - 12:21 PM, said:

4: offer a contract for a player to be targeted with an ability of a certain type;
Quote

Quote

C1A> # dinari for each player who targets player X with one or more of the following abilities (choose from: heal, guard, theft, raid, attack, assassination, find, silence) during phase Y in this day and night cycle.

Contracts with different wordings are illegal and will be removed by P-S upon discovery.

that are the result of abilities:

Path-Shaper, on 14 November 2012 - 12:21 PM, said:

The exception is for contracts created by abilities. These can be recognized by being in quote tags and containing the starting phrase:

Quote

<C1A> It is my honor to present you with the opportunity to .... <contract text>.

Because they are the result of abilities, each such contract can be created only once per phase.
Faking one of these contracts will lead to immediate modkill.

Either that or someone is stupid.

Yeah, or that. Guess we will see if PS mod kills anyone.

[Ampelas]

I cannot see bazaar from phone so I'll check tomorrow

[Atrahal]

Is it just me or have there been a HUGE amount of goods on the bazaar today?

[Sorrit]

Holy crap the day is almost gone and I realized I haven't even posted yet. Trying to get a bunch of stuff done so I can go on vacation next week. So haven't had a chance to look really look at what has gone on. A few things that have caught my eye, that quest thing looks like it was tailor made for the night prophet faction. Half cost assassinations will make things a whole lot deadlier at night for everyone.

Also with the lynch protection again on the Nepath empire it's safe to say it's pretty obvious who is located there. I'm actualy glad for the weekend timer freeze. It will give me a chance to go over the thread this weekend and make some comments.
