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.
Remuneration: 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.

Ding, ding, ding.

Can the contractor force the use and target of the ability of the possessee? See their role PM? Resolution order: the possessee is targeted with a NK. Does the possessor die also or jump back to their own body first?

Ok. Since I'm getting crickets here, I'll try it this way:

Possession Target:

• Demelain
• If lynched, Anthras.

Upon successful Possession of Demelain use his Magic to:

• Target Okaros and heal
• Target Korbas and heal
• Target Korbas and Force Contract Registration:
  • Spectral Contract Manipulation if open,
  • Rupture Internal Organs if SCM isn't open.
• Target Rhyllandaras and heal. (I'm betting that he'll get NKed again tonight since Chrono rez is likely)

Upon successful Possession of Anthras:

• Cancel his NA whatever it is. (crosses fingers)

Edit: Changed order slightly; see below.

FUCK YOU, KHELL.

I had scum nailed when I weaseled out from under the lynch. We bag the fucking game and what happens? Khell goes Khell.

FUCK YOU, KHELL.
A HEARTY FUCK YOU.

Oh no you don't blame the scorpion for being a scorpion you blame BLEND FOR FUCKING VOTE FOR ME and leaving Khell a way out. That is what you do.

If the shield hadn't gone down Khell would have had to try to kill using rupture either Blend or myself and It couldn't have been me as the SK then Okaros and I would have voted for Khell and Korv already would have been dead and the game would be over. But Blend decided to be clever and fucking lynch me when I wasn't on. WHEN HE FUCKING NEW THAT I COULD NOT BE THE SK.

I know that. And It was so fucking pathetic and so incredibly idioticly dumb that it made me doubt so much which of the two idiots I should vote, to the point where I was looking for one to possess the other because so much idiocy couldn't be spawned by TWO people. And yet there was the sneaking suspicion that it was Kara or Korbas.
On thread, you literally think you can't trust the idiots that are CI'd but fear that if you latch onto them and they aren't scum, you lose the game by not lynching who made sense to be lynched before the thread merged.

I DO blame the scorpion for being a scorpion, though. I brought the FUCKING PIECE OF TRAITOROUS SCUM back into the game. Instead, I get shafted. I really, really, REALLY am horribly pissed off. This was a goddamned town victory with good play, a bit of luck and reading the contracts right. It instead became an endurance contest that no-one feels like playing for the glory of Khell's ego.

I didn't have a list. I don't believe in lists. But tonight, when I go to sleep I'll do an Arya Stark, whispering Khell, Blend, Khell, and Khell again.

It might work. But I'm going to be pessimistic and say Blend will believe that *today* Karat is possessing Korbas or vice versa and try to lynch one of them.

Can I just say that you were much nicer on the modkill issue then I would have been.

I firmly believe that blend has gone insane and that Khell is going to walk away with this game. Because they can't read the fucking contracts.

I agree. It was beneficial for town early game, but later on.... dudes. I point out A FUCKING GUARD WILL RULE THIS GAME and people grab a fucking CF contract? Seriously?

I'm assuming 3 scum. 2 nks and Magic == 4 nks. Only 2 guards, so even if both target him he just puts the vigs as action 3 and 4. Takes population down to 5 people. Vote night. One nk. Lynch townie. 2 nks.

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.

The way I see it, is people that are in the game right now are not going back to previous days to figure shit out.

I was guilty of it with the Kaschan/Tholen event.

He could have taken it but didn't. I think maybe just because it would have been too easy to just lynch him and it be over then. He was hoping that if someone else took it it would distract town and he could escape getting lynched.

With this many players, the SK was only in as a balancing mechanic. If scum had lasted longer (ie 2 still alive after night 4, or so) I would not have unlocked the SK at all. But after Brujah died I felt like things had been too easy for town and wanted to add some additional challenge. Thing is, with the contracts town was holding and using on day 5 it *should* have still been relatively easy for them to win after 1 or 2 more days. I didn't expect things to turn out as convoluted as they have suddenly become.

Hehe, fair enough. It was maybe too easy, yeah, although we had a lucky break with Brujah. I am cool as a cucumber now, but I am not lying if I say I was glad I died and no longer being sucked dry by frustration, exhaustion and doubt on thread.
