I would like to relinquish my current contract and register


MC-198 | Impenetrable Infinite Force-field Creation

Anthras, on 09 May 2014 - 01:26 PM, said:

If however that is gone then I would like to register in this order

XC-677 | Liquid-Induced Cryokinesis

If that is unavailable then please register

Path-Shaper, on 09 May 2014 - 02:02 PM, said:

You register:

MC-198 | Impenetrable Infinite Force-field Creation
Registered
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.


Your hyperactivity takes effect immediately.

Now to explain my reasoning for my list for SH

Obviously I know that I am town and I strongly suspect that Okaros is town. He seems like a reasonable person. So I included him on my group. I also included Demelain because if he isn't lynched then i want to minimize the damage that he can do. I.e. He can only kill two players. I think that Demelain will be lynched today so he won't be a factor for tomorrow. I am going to try to talk Okaros into not lynching me. Although I don't think that he can. Ideally there would be no lynches in my group and 2 lynches in the other. If I had moved Hentols (who I don't really trust) or Venesara (don't trust) into my group also then I would for sure be lynched. If Ryls is brought back then there would be 3 players in my group who are VPI and if the other group has both scum then there would be 3 nks and 2 lynches in the other group. WCS leaving only scum left and 3 town players. That is if Ryllandars is brought back alive tonight. True I am balancing it off of Okaros being town. But at this point I belive that he is.

Anthras, on 09 May 2014 - 03:53 PM, said:

Also to the players who think that I should have included myself in the suspect group. Well I have to reply to every single fucking post. I don't have enough time to do that for 6 other players. So fuck you.

Anthras, on 09 May 2014 - 03:55 PM, said:

Ven has 3 Bps so he should be able to last through the end. As long as he isn't lynched.

It does indeed! And this is two anime-themed mafia games in a row.

That being said, DtB doesn't *really* transfer to being a mafia game all that well, anyways. If I tried to actually story-theme it as a game, it wouldn't work at all... especially because the good and bad guys from the first season end up being the same organization! I could do a faction game from the second season, but "Russians with a few humans and a lot of bugs" is pretty weak compared to "Kid who can create entire people and universes, and is also telepathic". Plus, DtB is really more something that there should be a lot of humans around that the contractors have to hide amongst, not just a giant contractor brawl.

All that being said, DtB does not have the greatest self-exploration of character or its own universe, either... so I don't know!

Karatallid, on 09 May 2014 - 03:09 PM, said:

Yeah, it's better flavour than it is story/balance compatible - I was thinking more of self-imposed RP, but even that is hard to do.

You've definitely gone the right way with just taking the setting. The main stories are way, way too story-based to make for a good mafia "plot". And like...90% of the characters in both seasons can kill you, sometimes via multiple methods or just plain creative application of weird powers.

I think the reason DtB does so well as a story is really that the characters and scenario are presented mostly "as-is, where-is". The wealth of detail behind that is left to the imagination, which is ridiculously bountiful in a fan-fiction sort of way, and that works a lot better than a lot of introspection. It's also why the first season worked really well with the independent stories that eventually tied into the whole arc - bits that came together to make something awesome and coherent, very much like what we got from the characters, imo.

That being said, I'd totally kill for a prequel series on the war around Heaven's Gate/Contractors in general at that time around the world. (I nearly called that war "Heaven's Feel"...and if Fate starts crossing over with Darker than Black, I think my head would explode, LOL! I must be tired. XD)

Path-Shaper, on 12 May 2014 - 03:36 PM, said:

I've never been so happy to be a rotting corpse before. I was just wondering as if Chrono is used on me, then technically I would never have died, and would be around (with Chrono presumably being resolved before kills), and therefore would be a target. But forget I said any of that!

So the balance lies in whether to wait and hope that the one you want becomes Open, or whether to pick up something quick before they all go while you're still waiting for the one you really want.

As for the two extra contracts, can that be any, or just the open ones? If just open ones, I'll take rupture and shapeshifting.

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 02:51 PM, said:

And you're going to wait a while (say, the weekend) before processinig the contracts, right? Otherwise they'll be like, 'well, Ryll came back with no contract, and Spectral was immediately seized, soooo...'

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 02:55 PM, said:

Bah, i can't take shapeshifting, they'll realise by whom it's been taken and just not vote for anyone and I'll be dead

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 02:59 PM, said:

If only open contracts, rupture and hallucination I guess.

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 05:11 PM, said:

You're probably sick of PMs from me, but if I don't manage to take Spectral, then priority is as my list from last night, with Rupture first.

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 05:51 PM, said:

There's only one way I can see the SK having a chance, and that's if they're able to take the Possession contract (which it seems is currently unavailable), and the lover link contract.

- Possess Hentos, and force him to Chrono Tholen.

- Establish a lover link with Tholen, convince him to relinquish the kill contract before they are lynched, and then take it yourself. Then kill either Hentos or whoever you think might have the find contract, and swap it with the lover link.

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 06:03 PM, said:

So if I do get Spectral (which I now have a feeling I won't), I would like to pick up Possession and the Hormonal lover thingy one, please, providing both are available, obviously. If one or both aren't available, then I'll have to rethink.

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 06:06 PM, said:

Ah dammit, that won't work as you have to select possession at night. Such a devilish plan too, sigh...

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 06:34 PM, said:

If for some reason you refuse my reasonable request to completely change the way an ability functions, then, if SK, I guess I'll have to go with the Hormonal lover one, and....hmm, RIO or Hallucination? RIO.

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 07:13 PM, said:

Lol, this is all so irrelevant as I'm not going to get Spectral anyway.
But, not Hormonal. I'll never convince Hentos on thread to revive Tholen. So Possession I guess instead

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 07:16 PM, said:

Ryllandaras, on 10 May 2014 - 11:21 PM, said:

Speaking hypothetically, if I was to be the SK and had Possession, and I possessed someone, but then my original body died, would I retain my SK abilities in the new bodies I jumped into, or would I be able to do nothing but jump back and forth?

You need to have possession to really understand how it works. But you would still be an independent SK and need to be killed.

DM-872 | Rupture Internal Organs
Registered
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




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.




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

Only players in your group, until the forcefield is down. Were you expecting anything else?

Ryllandaras, on 13 May 2014 - 01:14 AM, said:

Just to be completely clear, Spectral comes with no killing abilities whatsover, right? Consume is just a 'pick a person' ability. So currently RIO is my only lethal ability?


Anthras has the dividey thing, which is of absolutely no use to me. Not sure what Okaros has - if anything. Someone picked up Shapeshifting, how weird.

I target Okaros with RIO, he bleats the next day. I don't target anyone, and two nights go by without anyone dying. And so I die. This is unpossible.

Ryllandaras, on 13 May 2014 - 01:28 AM, said:

And with Consume I can currently only target people in my group too?

Path-Shaper, on 13 May 2014 - 02:00 AM, said:

Correct, Consume is like any other NA - it can only be used on people in your group. And yes, Consume doesn't actually hurt anyone, it is just a matter of picking someone who you hope will die. Of course, with RIO you can hopefully rig that choice.

Ryllandaras, on 13 May 2014 - 02:02 AM, said:

This is not just unpossible, this is literally impossible.

I do kinda wish you would have sent me a PM asking if I can confirm which contracts I would want. With the divide coming down the way it has, I wouldn't have gone with these two. Anyways. Make do with what you have. Which is not a lot.

Let's look at possibilities:

Scenario 1: RIO Okaros.

He says he's dying the next day. BCS by some miracle Okaros and Anthras don't lynch me - say I manage to convince Anthras that it wasn't me using our lover connection.

Okaros dies. I get his whatever contract. But for what? If I exchange Hormonal and it suddenly goes off the market, Anthras will know I lied and I'm the SK. If I exchange it for RIO, I lose my killing power. So maybe I don't exchange it and Okaros takes it to his grave.

Divide comes down. Other players know only I can be the SK because Anthras couldn't have relinquished his contract to pick up Spectral. I am lynched.


Scenario 2: RIO Anthras.

Anthras says he's dying the next day. BCS I convince him that it's Okaros. We lynch Okaros, he turns up town. Anthras dies, his contract becomes available and I...what? Take his power? And then do what? Put myself in a group of one? And then I die after two days anyway because I haven't killed anyone. BCS the other scum does manage to kill someone and I somehow correctly guess who, keeping me alive until the shield drops again.

And then what? Get lynched.

Impossible.

Ryllandaras, on 13 May 2014 - 02:05 AM, said:

Or I put myself in a group of two and RIO the other person. And then hope to hell that the contract they have is something I can use. Hmm.

As I'm now scum do I get first dibs on contracts?

Ryllandaras, on 13 May 2014 - 02:50 AM, said:

Scenario 3: Don't RIO either Okaros or Anthras.

Next day drop Hormonal for Anti-Tank. Vig Anthras. Has to be Anthras as vigging Okaros will only leave me as the possibility for SK. Then:

3a: Take Splitter ability (Question for PS: would that go in my 'empty' slot, as vig is completely used up, or would that have to replace RIO?). Put myself and one other, RIO them, take their ability (probably get lynched as soon as the divide comes down).

3b: Don't take Splitter. Pick up another contract to go in the empty slot with vig expired. But what?

Ryllandaras, on 13 May 2014 - 02:52 AM, said:

Scenario 4: Get Anthras lynched so the barrier drops a day early.

Swap Hormonal for Anti-Tank. Vig someone in the larger pool of players.


I'm not sure this one's even worth considering because I highly doubt I can get Blend to agree to it.

Sorry, but I don't have time to babywalk everyone through how to play the game. It was your choice to not make a definitive provisional when you knew that registrations had to occur at the 18h mark. The other choice is I could've decided none of your submissions other than the SCM one were definitive enough and not given you anything. It's not really any different than if you were a guard in a normal game, vaguely discussed guarding a couple different people and then when night rolls around get upset that I picked one. If you want reliable results, you say "I've decided - Tonight Guard Korlat". It's not like this is night 1, you've had time to figure this stuff out.

Whether or not Anti-Tank Rifle is "used up" or not, it is still a contract that you hold until you relinquish it or swap it via Consume.

Quote

OV-724 | Hallucination
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

For now, my provisional is to use my Find ability on Korvalain.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure if it would be the same for Day 1, specially given that whoever took the contract may not have known they had it right away, so may have already responded to the first 10 posts without knowing for sure whether or not they could.

Anyway, thanks for the answer!

Oh I see what you mean now, specifically for Day 1. No, you don't need to ignore posts from the same day you registered it, just the day after each night you have it (each night you turn invisible.
