Bah. The more I read the less I think I understand.


If Okaros had cryokinesis, he could not have picked up SCM. Therefore Korv was telling the truth about being frozen. But given his own statement about "why would a townie take shapeshifter", why would have taken shapeshifter?

I keep coming around to it's either scummy Karatallid taking the SCM or townie Okaros doing so.

With outside chance of it being Pran Chole.

However, since AntiTank cannot be used tonight, I'm going to put Kara at l-1. If he's town he should have came clean with me. If he's not, good. Either way fuck him.


Vote Karatallid

Oh, you're really going to put me at L-1 with like twenty-four hours on the clock? Some people live in different time zones, you know! We can't all be on thread when you want us to be.

Kara, what contract did you hold on Day One?

Guard.

However, as most of you may remember I was almost mod-killed between my first post on day one and day two (look at the time difference), so I couldn't submit a provo. I've held Guard since the start.

So you didn't possess me last night?

You do realize, that the person who held possession, could not possibly reply to that question regardless of in the positive or the negative.

I believe I stated clearly yesterday that I had dropped Guard. So ignoring the grammatical typo of "I've" instead of "I'd" (as in, "I had"), I do not currently hold Guard.

Also, do you have insomnia, or did you mean a short three-hour sleep when you said you were "out" for the night?

[Korbas]

insomnia. zolpidem 12.5 mg and 4mg of ativan usually do the trick. woke up an hour ago.


going back to bed shortly;


i was possessed yesterday. you only posted 3 or 4 times. leads most of us to conclue that you were my possessor;

my vote stays on you until you can adequately explain why it couldn't have bee you who possessed me

Mmmhmm. Except if you were paying attention at any point over the last couple days, you would realise that Possession =/= bad.

See. You don't really have a case. Technically, you have circumstantial evidence which suggests I possessed you (or, equally, that you possessed me), and...

Yeah. Nothing. No reason to believe that this is indicative on anything other than holding a particular Contract, and not the one we are looking for.

Speculation is that the SK has picked up Possession - this is not really based on anything other than that it would be a good power for the SK to have, Then again, so is RIO.




Speaking of Contract lists:

Registered:



UI-678 | Anti-tank Rifle Materialization
Registered
The contractor can spontaneously produce a Degtyarov PTRD Anti-Tank Rifle with a single shell already chambered.
Ability: The player gains a single-use Vig. The Vig can be used on any night, and is depleted whether it succeeds or not. The single-use is replenished each time this contract is relinquished and re-registered, even if by the same player.
Renumeration: Constructing and Releasing Origami Lanterns at Night. If the player successfully kills someone with their single-use Vig, they cannot perform any night action the following night.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: Once this contract has been used to successfully kill 3 players (either by the same player or multiple players), it is Fulfilled.

HW-702 | Possession
Registered
The contractor's consciousness can leap into other human bodies and wrest control of them, suppressing the other consciousness within.
Ability: The player may select a target at night and is granted control of the target's body (alt). The target player is informed that they may not post or vote on-thread - only the possessor may do so. Both the possessor and possessee may reply to PMs.
Renumeration: The player must return to their original body after they have possessed someone for a day.
Relinquish: The player must be in their original body (alt) to relinquish the contract.
Fulfillment: If the player's original body is killed while they are possessing another player, the contract becomes fulfilled but they lose the mental dominance that suppresses the possessed consciousness. Both the possessor and possessee may now post in-thread and vote freely. The player may now jump directly from one possessed body to a new target player each night.




TZ-959 | Pyrokinesis
Registered
The contractor becomes capable of controlling and spontaneously generating fire. The contractor learns to control the flames and increase their intensity over time by focusing their abilities through song.
Abilities:
--You are automatically immune to Cryokinesis.
--Heat: On any night, can target a player and heat them, remove any lasting Cryokinesis effects upon them.
--Incinerate: Only useable after the contract has been successfully renumerated for four consecutive days. You can target and kill one other player each night. You cannot use Incinerate and Heat on the same night.
Renumeration: Singing. The player must use the title of a song in their posts on five seperate occasions each day. Any song titles can be used, so long as they can be found fairly easily on the internet and are not just single ordinary words. There is no capitalization or other formatting necessary, so you can try to hide them in your posts. You must send a PM to Path-Shaper indicating the posts and song titles each day.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: Once incineration is used for the first time, the contract is fulfilled.




VM-460 | Spectral Contract Manipulation
Registered
A mysterious contract, the mechanisms of which are unfathomable.
Ability:
--Tyranny: The contractor immediately becomes capable of holding two more contracts in addition to this one.
--Consume: Each night, you may choose another player - if they die you learn what contract they hold (if any) and you may substitute it for one of yours (but not this one).
Renumeration: Drinking the Blood of Children. You become an independent player, with the victory conditions of eliminating all other players. You will CF and be found as "[S]He who Drinks the Blood of Children". You must successfully target someone with Consume at least once every two nights, or else you will die instead (you do not need to exchange contracts, just succeed in choosing a player that dies).
Relinquish: This contract cannot be relinquished by any means, including by actions of other players.
Fulfillment: none


Open:


PJ-531 | Spatial Teleportation
Open
The contractor can instantly relocate themselves and any other persons they are in physical contact with to any other location that they can think of.
Ability: Each night, you can exchange the locations of two other players. All abilities targeting each of them target the other player instead. You can make yourself one of the two players, if you desire.
Renumeration: Arranging Things Methodically. You must use this ability on new targets every night until you have used it on all the remaining living players once (including yourself). Then you may start over, using it again only once on each player, and so on.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none


DM-872 | Rupture Internal Organs
Open
The contractor can cause small wounds in the internal organs of any individual at will, so long as they are in physical contact. There are no immediate outwardly visible indications of the inflicted damage, but the victim will soon begin feeling unwell. Eventually, they will begin gushing blood from their orifices, followed by a painful death.
Ability: Each night, you may target one other player. They will die on the following night. If they are healed on either night, they will not die. The target will be told at the end of the first night that they feel unwell and may die soon.
Renumeration: Leaving Damning Evidence Behind. Each time you use your night action (successfully or not) you must vote for your target the following day, if they are alive. It does not have to be your first vote, and you can change your vote off of them as well.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none

OV-724 | Hallucination
Open
The contractor can create hallucinations at short range. While highly effective at first, most victims quickly realize the deceit and remain attentive to their surroundings. The best use, then, is to use hallucinations of sudden attacks to trick other contractors into revealing their abilities.
Ability: Each night you can learn the contract of another player.
Renumeration: Revealing Secrets. You must divulge on-thread (clearly) the result of any successful night action.
Relinquish: Before you can relinquish this contract, you must reveal on-thread that you possess it.
Fulfillment: none


EZ-674 | Gravity Amplification
Open
The contractor can substantially increase the effect of gravity in a small area, trapping victims with their own magnified weight.
Ability: You can guard another player each night.
Renumeration: Consumption of Boiled Eggs. Players performing a faction find on you will always have their action succeed, and the result will always be scum.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment:


XR-821 | Hormonal Attraction Amplification
Open
The contractor becomes an irresistable sex god/goddess.
Ability: Each night you may open one and close one lover conversation with any other player(s). You may have up to three lover conversations at once from this ability. Players whom you are lovers with cannot perform any night actions on you. Players do not have to respond, but they cannot end the lover bond.
Renumeration: Leprosy. This is a one-time renumeration which is only paid once the contract is Relinquished or Fulfilled. Your irresistable charm is removed and you become a decrepit leper. You may no longer have any lover bonds with any player for the rest of the game, for any reason.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: Once a player who holds this contract has been lovers at some point with every other living player remaining in the game, this contract becomes Fulfilled.




DP-391 | Information Absorption
Open
The contractor can absorb thoughts and memories from other people by making physical contact with them.
Ability: Each night you may target another player and learn both their faction, as well as the results of any find-type actions they have previously performed.
Renumeration: Alcoholism. Each day, you are told a random living player by the mods and may only vote for that player.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none




XC-677 | Liquid-Induced Cryokinesis
Open
The contractor can freeze liquids at will, including the moisture around another person, immobilizing them.
Ability: You can freeze another player each night. Frozen players are unable to use any night actions for three consecutive nights.
Renumeration: Honesty. You must not lie in the game thread or any off-thread communications.
Relinquish: This contract cannot be relinquished while any other players remain frozen.
Fulfillment: none



ID-362 | Remote Inert Organic Sensing and Disintegration
Open
The contractor gains the ability to remotely sense necrotic organic matter - particularly dead bodies. The contractor can detect the shape, location and various other properties of the organic matter. Furthermore, the contractor can remotely nullify the intrinsic field of this matter, disintegrating it. This turns the organic matter into a substance of similar consistency to sand.
Ability: The player becomes a coroner - CFs are no longer posted on-thread and are given to the player, instead.
Renumeration: Dysphonia. The player may only post in pictures (both on-thread and in PMs).
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none




By my count, only two players currently cannot talk about their Contract. Maybe three. Technically, we can all freely claim Spectral without breaking the rules - only player cannot do so. Thoughts?

I am 99% certain that Ryll has Pyrokinesis for reasons I've previously mentioned, so I think it's obviously likely that the SK has Possession and the Vig contract.

[Okaros]

That being said, the SCM contract does not say that the SK MUST hold 2 additional contracts, it says that he is capable of (read MAY) hold 2 additional contracts. It's possible he only has 1 additional contract, but I think it's likely that the SK has the 2 contracts that aren't Pyro.

The SK also has registration priority, given that scum are likely gone. So they can afford to drop a Contract and create their priority list for PS to resolve later.

It's also possible that the SK would pick up Gravity Amp or Cryo, in order to protect themselves.

Possession makes a lot of sense for an SK, I agree - but if they cannot hold it due to it being registered or because they don't want to take the chance of being reverse found (rather like they might avoid Hormonal) they might not have jumped on it straight away - it would make more sense for an SK to wait until the ability was actually guaranteed to give them a voting block, no?

Just got back. Haven't read the last few pages, just skipped to the end. Has PS been around, because the contract list doesn't look like it's been updated to show the contract I dropped. I don't know if I can talk about it before the list is updated?

[Ryllandaras]

Oh that was easy, there was only one extra page.

No one seems to be around to give me an answer. So until the morning I guess I'll just say you're confusing yourself Okaros.

Its also possible that the SK can only do one Registration a day, still, mind - in which case as of today, the SK could have two, but could not have yesterday?

But that's getting a bit too deep into mechanics spec., safer to just assume that the SK can pull/push two Contracts at once.

I should note that Spectral Contract Manipulation overrides this, in a sense. Basically, the above rule is really on a "per slot" basis. Everybody has 1 contract "slot". What I meant by that above rule is that you can't relinquish-register-relinquish-register all in one day, you only get to change contracts once. But with SCM you have SCM plus two more "slots", and you could register and relinquish both slots in the same day.

Ok, i see list has been updated now, Pyro is back open.

I picked it up yesterday, used it last night to unfreeze myself, and now dropped it again. Does that answer your question Okaros? I think you were just confusing yourself.

Anyway, I'm not going to make any judgements now as I've had too much to drink, so adieu till the morrow.
