Balance:

<8 players - 1 scum, only one lethal contract, no finds, no SK

8-11 players - 2 scum, only one regular kill contract, no finds, no SK

12-15 - 3 scum, two regular lethal contracts, max 1 find and 1 vig, maybe SK

16-20 - 4 scum, include all contracts, include SK

21+ - 5 scum, need to make up more contracts!


lower end of group - delay addition of addition lethal/find contracts
upper end of group - have slightly more total contracts and have them all start sooner

Mechanics Post:

---

Day is 36 hours. Night is resolved instantly after the lynch. You are encouraged to submit provisional actions.

All players begin as either town or scum. All town players begin the game with no abilities. All scum players know each others' identities but cannot communicate off-thread and they always get to make contract requests before town. (Note: there are no symps, but certain contracts could be used to simulate them.)

Town must eliminate scum to win.
Scum must achieve a dominant position to win (normally parity, but if town has vig/kill/necromancy/etc abilities the game may not be called at parity).


If there is a serial killer faction included, they will be alone and must eliminate all other players to win. Town and scum will need to eliminate the serial killer to win. The serial killer will be randomized with the scum when choosing requests order.


Reveals - Since all contracts are posted and updated publicly, you may not reveal or discuss your current contract, nor the results of the abilities it gave you. You may, however, reveal and discuss freely any prior contracts you have held. You are allowed to reveal anything you like in lover conversations, and you may reveal on-thread anything told to you by a lover.


Contracts:

Contracts are special agreements that players can enter into to gain access to new abilities.

A list of Contracts and their statuses is posted at the start of the game thread and updated whenever there is a change. It will also be reposted in its current state at the start of each day (these posts will not be kept up-to-date).

All players can relinquish and register contracts during the day, once each and in that order. Each day, PS will randomize the players, scum first, and resolve any relinquish/register requests in that order. You can and are encouraged to submit provisional requests ahead of time, up to the point of sending us a sorted list of your preferred contracts. Any provisional relinquish/register requests will be acted upon based solely on the current contract list, not based on any other information such as other players' requests. Once 18 hours in Day have expired, any missing requests will be skipped and the remaining requests will be sorted.

You can only register contracts that are open at the time of your registration. Each player may only hold one contract at a time. All players begin without holding any contract.


Each contract has a name, some flavour text, and four qualities:

Ability(ies) - while you hold this contract, you gain the abilities listed (sometimes under certain conditions)

Renumeration - while you hold this contract, you must always perform the conditions of its renumeration. Sometimes this is a constant effect, other times you must perform the renumeration after each use of the contract's ability. A contractor who does not perform the renumeration loses their abilities and rapidly grows sick, then dies.

Many renumerations go beyond basic game mechanics and require the player to behave in a certain, often unusual, way. All players are expected to comport themselves honourably if playing with such restrictions and to do their absolute best to follow the requirements. The mods can't see everything, nor read minds, so we will be depending on your good sportsmanship. If you can't handle a contract's renumeration, don't register it! If the mods finds a player blatantly disobeying their renumeration requirements, they will be summarily modkilled and disqualified from winning, being resurrected or viewing spoilers.

Relinquish - some contracts have special conditions relating to when the holder is capable of relinquishing the contract. "normal" indicates that the contract can be relinquished during the Day without needing to fulfill any other conditions.

Fulfillment - if a contract's Fulfillment conditions are met, the holder no longer needs to perform the contract's Renumeration. Additionally, if the contract had special Relinquishment conditions these no longer apply and it can be Relinquished normally. However, if a Fulfilled contract is Relinquished it will be gone forever rather than become open again. Additionally, some contracts change once they have been Fulfilled.

Current Contract List:

Spoiler

Closed until Day 6 - This Contract is not yet available, but will become Open on the specified Day.
Open - No one currently holds this Contract, it is available for registration.

Fulfilled - This Contract has been Fulfilled. It cannot return to Open status.
Expired - A player has died with this Contract registered. It is lost forever.




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


XY-170 | Blood-Induced Matter Transportation
Open
Any matter which is in contact with the contractor's blood can be remotely disintegrated at a mere thought from the contractor. The blood is also consumed, making powerful attacks very weakening to the contractor's health.
Ability: Each night, you may kill one other player.
Renumeration: Spilling Your Own Blood. Since spilling your blood is also required to use your ability, you automatically renumerate your contract as you use it. However, spilling enough of your blood to make a lethal attack also leaves you weakened - on any night that you use your ability, all other abilities used on you will succeed, despite the effects of guards or heals.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none


JW-157 | Shapeshifting
Open
The contractor's body becomes capable of rapidly generating, moving and shedding body cells en masse, allowing them to modify their appearance at will.
Ability: Allows the player to specify at will what information is revealed about them upon finds, CFs, etc.
Renumeration: Antagonizing People. At the end of each day, all uncast votes are considered to be cast on you. If there are enough for a lynch, you are lynched. Otherwise, nothing is revealed and nothing happens.
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:


GT-131 | Molecular Reconstitution
Open
The contractor can restore damaged molecular structures to their original form.
Ability: You can heal a player each night.
Renumeration: Pacifism. Each night that you try and Heal a player, you may not vote the next day.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none


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


GC-817 | Invisibility
Open
The contractor can turn themself invisible. Clothing and held objects are also affected.
Ability: While you hold this contract, the first ability to target you (in resolution order) each night will fail. You must choose whether to use invisibility or not each night.
Renumeration: Vomiting. You must ignore the first 10 posts of each day (no quoting them, no replying to them or defending against issues raised in them, etc. Treat follow-up posts that are after the first 10 as if they were not following upon anything.)
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none


UI-678 | Anti-tank Rifle Materialization
Open
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.


KN-042 | Stone & Metal Material Absorption
Open
By touching any hardened material, such as metal or concrete, the contractor can shift that material as if it were liquid into a condensed layer bonded to their epidermis, where it can act as armour.
Ability: The player immediately gains a BP which blocks the first lethal action to target the player at night. The BP remains active each night until it blocks an attack or the contract is relinquished. The player is informed when their BP is lost.
Renumeration: Immobility. The player cannot perform any actions while the BP is active, nor on the first night after they no longer have it.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: Once this contract has been used to successfully block 3 lethal actions (for the same player or for multiple players), it is Fulfilled.


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.


GW-345 | Fog Generation
Open
The contractor's breath can be expanded and controlled to shroud an area in a fog which obscures sight and sound.
Ability: On the first night that you hold this contract, select another living player and you may open a lover conversation with them.
Renumeration: Reciting Poetry. Every two lines that you post in any of your PM conversations must have the same number of syllables and must rhyme, without inserting non-sensical extraneous words or syllables. Alternatively, you may make each post of a PM conversation a haiku (does not have to rhyme, still must be sensical). You have to stick to one or the other for each PM conversation you have.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none


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


HW-702 | Possession
Open
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.


XC-677 | Liquid-Induced Cryokinesis
Closed until Day 2
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


TZ-959 | Pyrokinesis
Closed until Day 2
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. 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.


GE-978 | Chronokinesis
Closed until Day 2
The contractor can reverse temporal flow in the surrounding area, rewinding past events in short bursts.
Ability: Each night, you may choose a target player. Any effects applied to that player (healing, freezing, death, etc) on the previous night are retroactively undone (including potentially bringing them back to life).
Renumeration: Aging Backwards. Each time you use this contract's ability you age backwards to an unknown degree. If the current game day plus the number of times you have used this contract's ability is greater than 10, you die.
Relinquish: This contract is relinquished when and only when you successfully use its ability on yourself.
Fulfillment: none


ID-362 | Remote Inert Organic Sensing and Disintegration
Closed until Day 3
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


MR-433 | Magic
Closed until Day 3
The contractor becomes capable of performing genuine magical feats, limited only by the extents of their foresight and imagination. However, the use of this magic frays the structural bonds of the universe, threatening to destabilize the laws of nature themselves. This can be avoided by having no direct observer (in the scientific sense) to any overt violation of the laws of physics. This is accomplished by the contract deteriorating the contractor's sanity to the extent that (s)he can no longer rationally observe their own impossible feats.
Ability: The player gains the following limited-use abilities:
-- 3x Faction Find
-- 2x Contract Find
-- 4x Heal
-- 2x Guard
-- 2x Vig
-- 1x Force Vote
-- 1x Forced Contract Nullification (the target player automatically loses their current contract at the next Dawn)
-- 1x Forced Contract Registration (forces an Open contract onto a player at Dawn, possibly giving them two contracts at once)
The player must use four abilities every night. If they are guarded, each guard only blocks one ability (top of the list first, then alphabetical order of the target for ties), and the ability's usage is still consumed. The player also has 3 BPs each night, each one preventing a single lethal action targeting them. The player cannot be healed or found. The player can open lover conversations at-will to alts with 3 or more vowels.
Renumeration: The player must proclaim themselves on-thread, in bold, to be the world's greatest magician. From there-on they must roleplay on-thread and in PMs as being an eccentric and insane magician to a significant degree, though this does not mean they can't be helpful to the thread and their faction.
Relinquish: This contract cannot be relinquished by any means, including by actions of another player.
Fulfillment: Once the player has run out of ability usages (four nights), the contract is Fulfilled and the player dies after their next post on-thread.


MC-198 | Impenetrable Infinite Force-field Creation
Closed until Day 3
The contractor becomes capable of creating a vertically-oriented force-field which stretches infinitely upwards, to the sides and downwards. The wall can be sustained for some time, but the contract only allots a single use before Fulfillment.
Ability: Once you hold this contract, divide all living players into two groups. Beginning at the next Dawn, players will only be able to perform night actions on and vote for players in their own group. Each group can lynch one player in their group per day, with vote requirements reflecting the number of players in the group. This effect lasts for two days and nights.
Renumeration: Hyperactive Vocalization. You must reply (with quote) to every post made by a player in your group, and you must do so chronologically and before posting any original non-reply posts. You must do so within 24 hours of any given post and each reply must be a genuine reply of at least 10 words.
Relinquish: you can only relinquish this contract through its Fulfillment effect
Fulfillment: once the force-field effect ends, this contract is Fulfilled and automatically relinquished.

Contracts not in this game:

Spoiler

PA-449 | Telepathic Contractual Substitution
The contractor can create a psychic bond to another contractor and disrupt the target's contractual bonds, stealing it for themself and leaving this contract in the wake.
Ability: On any night, you may choose a player and substitute this contract with their current contract. If they have no contract, no substitution is made. If the target player also dies this night, the substitution still occurs, and they die with Telepathic Contractual Substitution.
Renumeration: Sleeping. On the day after you use this contract's ability (successfully or unsuccessfully), you may not post until all other players have posted at least once.
Relinquish: This contract cannot be relinquished by normal means, only by other players' actions.
Fulfillment: This contract is fulfilled once all remaining living players have possessed it.


VM-460 | Spectral Contract Manipulation
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

Powers from the manga/anime not used in this game yet:

Spoiler

DtB wikia contracts (that I haven't used yet):


Brain Asphyxiation | Ilya Sokoloff
Obeisance: Drawing | This technique allows the user to completely restrict the flow oxygen to an opponent's brain, essentially killing their victims via 'turning off' the brains of their targets, until they die from lack of oxygen.

Concussive Blasts | Amagiri
Obeisance: --- | Amagiri is able to project concussive blasts with his palms. This technique is especially useful for mid to long range attacks.

Cutting Grenade
Obeisance: --- Used by an unknown syndicate contractor. They seem to be able to coat ball shaped objects, such as golf balls, in a black energy, and throw them. At some point during the throw, the balls explode, sending out a disk shaped cutting force, able to slice through concrete.

Cutting Elongation
Obeisance: --- A victim of Harvests black flower, this soldier gains the ability to lengthen the cutting length of a bladed weapon, forming, in effect, an invisible sword. Harvest notes that the invisible blade will not harm anything that is not moving or in motion, and will only cut moving objects. This is shown when an agent that was standing still was unharmed by the attack.

Disintegration and Remodeling by Breath
Obeisance: --- Used by an unknown contractor. Shown on the list of contractors Kirihara used to find Harvest. He is registered as being killed in South America. His messier code is EG033.

Displacement Orb
Obeisance: Neck-cracking | This ability allows the contractor to take an orb-like object and ignite it remotely as the focal point of a sphere of displacement that extends a certain amount of feet from its origin. Anything with the extended area of influence is displaced into an unknown area.

Doll Specter Capturing | Itzhak
Obeisance: --- Itzhak has the ability to capture dolls within his range. Once captured, it is possible to track the doll to a limited extent.
Nick And Hei's Using Their Power

Electrokinesis | Nick Hillman
Obeisance: Placing Victims Shoes Upside Down | An ability which allows the user to control electricity. The user can easily kill or stun opponents they come into contact with, depending upon the specific amount of electricity released.

Insect Manipulation | Tanya
Obeisance: Ripping Her Own Hair | Tanya has the ability to control a significant amount of insects completely, allowing her to use them to swarm and subsequently attack any desired enemy.

Matter Holes
Obeisance: --- This ability allows the contractor to displace the mass in a large area in the shape of circle. This ability has been shown to make something reminiscent of a instant sink hole.

Projectile Enhancement
Obeisance: --- This ability allows the contractor to shoot rubber bands as energy projectiles that have the force of armor-piercing ammunition.

Remote Spontaneous Combustion | Maki
Obeisance: Drinking Hot Milk | A technique which allows the user to explode any object they have previously "marked", achieved simply by placing their hand upon the intended target. This technique is particularly useful for destroying targets from a distance, without bringing attention to the contractor. This ability is powerful enough to be mistaken for bombings.

Sonic Kicking | Azusa Tsukimori
Obeisance: --- Azusa gained this ability through the Black Dandelion. She has shown to have super strength and speed in her legs, able to run, jump and kick at super human levels. She has shown the ability to dismember limbs and impale people with kicks.

Sound Resonance Manipulation Bertha
Obeisance: Ingest Something And Then Vomiting It | With this ability it is possible to control objects, as long as the user knew the right frequency of sound-waves. With the production of the correct frequency, it is even possible to make someone undergo cardiac arrest.

Super Speed | Goran
Obeisance: Eating Burgers | This ability allows Goran to move at extremely high speeds, which are capable of even reacting to shot bullets. The speed is so great that if the Contractor gets hit by any object while he's using the technique, he's likely to get severely injured. Even simple rain hitting the body while using this ability is enough to kill him. The speed also appears difficult to control as the user seemingly finds the process of stopping and altering direction challenging, often resulting in crashing into any object within his path.

Uber-Sense | William Barry
Obeisance: --- William Barry was the syndicate squad commander. He had gained this ability due to the Black Dandelion compound the syndicate had developed. This ability allows him to process his senses at super-human levels, giving him near flawless reflexes. With this ability, he is able to easily dodge bullets, and see through enemy attacks.

Vacuum Creation | Havoc
Obeisance: --- Havoc was said to have the extremely deadly power of being able to create vacua at will. With this ability, she became one of the more violent and widely feared contractors.

Water Manipulation | Michiru
Obeisance: Cooking | Michiru is able to detect and control water. She can use this ability to sense the enemy's presence and then attack using the water.

Weapon Energizing | Mina Hazuki
Obeisance: Sexual contact (e.g. kissing) with men | This ability allows the contractor to "energize" objects, more specifically wood (as a weapon), in order to increase the materials properties and so maximize its capabilities, such as sharpness.

Weapon Manipulation
Obeisance: --- User can "energize" weapons and move them in a telekinetic fashion.

Wind Manipulation | Luco
Obeisance: Creasing the corners of book pages | Luco has the ability to manipulate wind, solidifying it into daggers, whips and spears possessing lethal cutting ability.


Dolls Edit
Doll's Power
Tracking (water) Yin
Her power lies in tracking and eavesdropping with water acting as her medium.
July's Tracking
Tracking (glass) July
July, as a doll, can send out tracking specters to see anything near his medium. July's medium is glass.
Medium
Tracking (plants) Champ
Champ, like all dolls, can send out tracking specters to perform surveillance. His specter medium are plants.

14 players, so I think I will put in all the finished contracts except the contract-substitution one (which frankly is much more damaging to scum than town) and no SK. Seems pretty balanced, maybe a bit favourable to town depending on which contracts scum takes.

If they want to go maximum lethality, the best option is Blood Matter Transportation, Rupture Internal Organs and Anti-Tank Rifle. If they manage to remove the healer contracts before Anti-Tank Rifle runs out, they'll maintain a 2 kills per night rate.

But, I suspect they will not go for a totally lethal appraoch and will grab Possession or Hormones to mess around with town or organize themselves better.

If the town manage to out the whole scum team early (ie with possession and a lucky jump), then I will add in the SK to keep the game going and ensure a challenge for town.

The other contacts that aren't listed above because they weren't fully written were:

-1x recruit (obeisance: given a random word each day, must use the word 15 times in the day, must do this twice before can use the recruit)
-can pick a person each night and they are lynchproof the next day
-can pick a person each night, gain lover convo with them, learn everything about them, and will die in their place if lynched/killed (obeisance: sexual contact, very hard to release this contract)

Hey, first game etc etc, let me know if I need to clarify any of my statements or requests for contracts. Also, would it be OK if i PM you my thoughts as the game progresses to put in spoiler heaven for the entertainment of the watchers, and in an attempt to prevent me being an axe wielding idiot knowing I will have to account for it later?

Provisional Contract registration order for day 1, if first is taken move on to second etc;

1. XR-821 | Hormonal Attraction Amplification (Most Desired)
2. HW-702 | Possession
3. PJ-531 | Spatial Teleportation
4. GT-131 | Molecular Reconstitution
5. JW-157 | Shapeshifting
6. XY-170 | Blood-Induced Matter Transportation
7. OV-724 | Hallucination
8. DM-872 | Rupture Internal Organs (Least Desired)

Pyrokinesis look like an incredibly fun ability, might go for that even though I'm town.
CF I may take just for the RP potential of it when it opens up, that would be so much fun! Does that include image macros or prohibit all text in images?
Oh GOD give me magic
I'm loving all these contracts, so much fun even just reading about them Roll on Monday!

Have a couple of questions about the specific mechanics of a few of the contracts but will wait until I own them or see if we work it out in thread.

Path-Shaper, on 03 May 2014 - 08:28 PM, said:

You can absolutely PM your thoughts - it's encouraged!

If you're silenced, you don't need to avoid using any single image that has any letters in it, but you shouldn't be spelling things or using text in an image to convey your meaning. Essentially, if someone is reading what you want to be saying instead of piecing together impressions from pictures, you're doing it wrong. If you get that role, I'll let you know how it is going.

I expect a lot of people will have questions. If I get a lot I'll start a contract FAQ post at the start of the game thread. That being said, many contracts might only have their nitty gritty details revealed to those who own them and not everone else!

Provisional list looks good!

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.

Thoughts;

Trying to blend in with the whole Mafia + dragon sex thing, decided on a picture that wasn't overly suggestive, or just HORRIFICALLY EXPLICIT. So, yeah, "Dragon sex" is now in my google search history and the images are seared into my brain, thanks mafia! *Drinks bleach*

Actively withholding posting at the moment, don't want to appear overeager and give myself away as the newbie. Whether or not people actively meta the game if/when they alt me, they may will place little weight on anything I have to contribute.

Will wait for someone else "to get serious" before I post anything else that can be seen to be considering game mechanics/pushing the game forward. A good way to get offed by scum early on or get day 1 lynched.

Won't look too hard at someone exclaiming their love of the picture, bogging down in WIFOM so early would not be productive. Maybe they are just perverted. *Waves at Korbas merrily*

You're overthinking this Just have fun!

Ay Estos, on 05 May 2014 - 09:11 PM, said:

BTW, I saw that Antitank materialization was the first contract registered, can I say that in thread or was that a mistake and I should do my very best to ignore the hell out of it? Not that I will, I will keep it for myself, they might pretend to be vig, but if I get the lover conversations, I can prod people with it.

Sure, you can talk about that. It's fair knowledge.

Oh god clarification: I meant I will not mention it on thread whether or not you tell me to forget it. I will absolutely not use the information if you say to forget it.

Damn it, that was a mistake, asking them not to make basic errors in judgement, just made it trivial for people to alt me, even if they don't they will see I'm a bit obvious AND oblivious, no one in this game is an idiot (except maybe me now)

Will have to keep my mouth shut and not let it run on so much. *Strains willpower not posting more often*

So as a ghost I don't appear in the alts list as Korv, I only jointly possess the alt of my possessee?

Say I was dead, Demelain and Tholen live, as do 3 town. Is that parity (excluding necro/vig etc) or not?

No, that's not parity. Parity/majority would be mostly based on the voting power of each faction, regardless of ghosts hopping around

Korvalain, on 05 May 2014 - 09:36 PM, said:

Dammit, want to jump in there are do some analysis of what contracts have been taken out but being serious early on will only get my lynched. Good spot Korbas, I hadn't noticed the OP list being updated. Possession as wildcard implies Korbas had some questions about it for you too and wasn't 4th in pick order. I place them 5th in order based on that post and went for Spatial. Ay I reckon was 4th.

I can figure what my fellows went for - the NK and the vig. Stop thinking M&P you two. So what if town get a kill or two, they can kill each other if we deny them knowledge. Alas, that is out the window now. Unless one of them got Hormones, please say one of them did.

Quote

GW-345 | Fog Generation
Open
The contractor's breath can be expanded and controlled to shroud an area in a fog which obscures sight and sound.
Ability: On the first night that you hold this contract, select another living player and you may open a lover conversation with them.
Renumeration: Reciting Poetry. Every two lines that you post in any of your PM conversations must have the same number of syllables and must rhyme, without inserting non-sensical extraneous words or syllables. Alternatively, you may make each post of a PM conversation a haiku (does not have to rhyme, still must be sensical). You have to stick to one or the other for each PM conversation you have.
Relinquish: normal
Fulfillment: none


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

Alcoholism affects you whether you perform the night action or not.

Pran Chole, on 05 May 2014 - 11:08 PM, said:

I'm guessing I would have to relinquish it to stop being told who to vote for. Also, "May only vote for that player", so I assume I can also NOT vote?

XR-821 | Hormonal Attraction Amplification
Registered
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.

Heh. Okey. Thought they weren't going to be handed out until hour 18. I take it I wasn't the only eager beaver with a list?

The text highlighted above brings up a question: what is the resolution order?
