Sorrit, stop screwing around and just vote for Spite already! :twoguns:



Sorry I was doing a dkt style catchup. Still not quite there yet. But it looks like I'll get there before dinner but I think Spite is already lynched by this point anyway.

I just took another look at the PM I got ref: Fener. Knowing that 4 others have gotten it the way it is worded could leave room that it's something he has to pay upkeep on and if he doesn't a rescinding message could be sent. Maybe. Or that could just me hoping that the wording allows that.



Why hasn't anyone else pointed this out by now? Most of us assume that as of yesterday Tellan was in the Nepath Empire and most of us are assuming that Fener was the one that purchased the sacrosacnt in the Northern desert. I don't know about you but that is assuming that one or the other moves at least 2 locations a day. I know it's probably not out of the question as some players probably can move around pretty easily but either Fener moved from at least Ishktar oasis to the northern desert or Tellan moved from the Nepath empire to the Northern Desert all within a day.

This just seems off to me.

I was under the impression I could only move once per day....

If that's not the case, I'll be sure to use it to good effect now.

I think Sorrit is drunk, now. Because that's a mish-mash of jibberish too me. Other than people moving more than one tile per day/night phase.

Where's the assumption Spite bought enough Worship to Sancro coming from? Haven't seen anything in here yet about it and the purchase on the Norther Desert seemed to indicate Fener to me.

I'd like to note that all those dawn PMs came out after I accused Fener of possibly being Qadi. It could be an elaborate frame job, I won't discount it.


There was a quick transaction around when Spite was at L5 or L6. 6 worship posted and purchased really quickly. Spite implied it was probably him. PS isn't around so we won't know if Spitr purchased Sacrosanct or not until PS is back.



So you are impling that Spite has off thread communication with a teamate they brokered a deal between the two of them to save Spite?

Not necessarily, but that 6 Worship did come on just when it looked like Spite might be needing something like that, and then it was snapped up. The gap was long enough that it didn't have to necessarily be due to off-thread communication, but it still does seem like someone either 1) was helping Spite out, or 2) was just being a mercenary and knew they could make some dough out of the situation.

Huh?



What exactly is confusing here Emurlahn? Either on or the other moved at least 3 locations in a day/night phase or else someone is lying. Knowing my restrictions I'm leaning towards someone might be lying.

Um, why? Why did either have had to move? Try explaining again.

How do you know this all happened in one cycle? Also, PS said technically its possible to target someone 2 tiles away if a certain series of events happens

I'll third that request. What is your rationale for either me or Fener (presume locations Nepeth Empire and Northern Desert, respectively) moving multiple tiles per day/night phase?

Perhaps it has to do with Fener being able to target 5 different players, with him presumably way up north and me way down south. I think that might be it.

Apparently, Sorrit seems to think everybody started on the same tile? In vino veritas?

God, he really made it sound like it was something to do with the Sacrosanct power.

Ok. Well. That's actually a nice point. I feel we're missing something here. Ok - what about this for an explanation of this ability:

ALL OF US were targetted with this 'no vote' thing, but only the people 'in range' got hit?

I am calling it an early night. See you all in a few hours. Well, hopefully not all. I'm wishing Spite safe travels on her journey to Spoiler Heaven.
Let's figure out a way to start offing some of these LP folks.

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?

That would make sense. I've had my abilities fail because of range every single day, so if some of us weren't in range, it would make sense. If it's something that lasts the whole game, I wonder if it only affects people within range of Fener, and if moving out of range breaks the effect. It still seems like a pretty overpowered ability.
