Remove the Aura of Warding from being active

Announcement:


Good Day thread. I'd like to take a couple of minutes of your time to introduce myself.

My name is Lock and I'm the Leader of the Bonehunters.

I've a fairly lively 9HP left to my name as it looks like someone keeps attacking me. Keep going bitches, I have a heal.

My dear friend the Clockwork Toy is off on his own errands at the moment, he cannot attack at night and his votes do not count but he does influence the number of votes needed to lynch. He's only got 1HP so I'm surprised that he has lived this long. Hello Tulas, you're not a real boy.

So what am I up to? Well I think it is quite clear I'm not in full control of my facilities. You should probably lynch me since I'll be Guarding one of your asses if I live. When I'm not Guarding I can dodge up to two attacks too. So you'd better lynch my butt.

Fanderay, Kessobahn - those booms were caused by me attacking you, 4HP damage a time. Suck it up. Anyway, things to do, people to NK. You know how it is.

Lock, on 15 February 2017 - 09:25 PM, said:

Cancel that

Thunderous Might Smite Attack on Kessobahn

Lock, on 16 February 2017 - 11:42 AM, said:

If we start again at the start of Day then orders stand, if they don't then I don't need to worry about this alt!

Note I've not quoted PM or abilities, just said the effects of them - and not even them all, I left out Heal and Guard which should stall any "quoting" arguments.

Aura of Warding is always active.

Noted on the Lay on Hands.


I just double-checked the dominate ability, and you can't provide Night Actions as you don't control the alt during the Night cycle.

You have stolen the following spell from Sorrit:


Haste (Day Action) Cost - 4 AP: Target player will be able to perform an additional basic attack during the next night cycle, but will be unable to vote during the next day cycle.


I will add it to your role PM.

Iparth Erule, on 01 February 2017 - 03:45 PM, said:

Can I target myself?

With Haste? Yes.

Iparth Erule, on 01 February 2017 - 03:51 PM, said:

so Sorrit must be either my wizard or the 5ths warlock. A 4 ap spell would probably be too high for anyone but an heir.

Iparth Erule, on 01 February 2017 - 03:58 PM, said:

I'm going to bet that Sorrit is my wizard based on his hints.

Just to confirm, you wish to use Haste right away?

Iparth Erule, on 01 February 2017 - 04:50 PM, said:

Maybe I'm not understanding it correctly. If I give Sorrit haste, that means during the next night he will get another night action right? and he won't be able to vote today?

He gets an extra attack action during Night 2, and won't be able to vote during Day 3.

Iparth Erule, on 01 February 2017 - 05:52 PM, said:

OK, so I can hold it till later in the day?

Yep, definitely. Just be aware that I'm usually only around to resolve day actions between about 9:30-5:30 Eastern Time. So if you want it resolved asap, best to get the order to me in those timeframes.

Iparth Erule, on 01 February 2017 - 06:19 PM, said:

OK, so you wouldn't resolve until after he submits his second night action? That's good to know.

No, I would resolve as I usually do, but would give him the time between when I provided him the information and while I'm resolving to submit the second action.

Iparth Erule, on 01 February 2017 - 08:14 PM, said:

Ok, then I want to select Sorrit for Haste during the next night cycle so he can prepare for it. If he puts 2 and 2 together, he may figure out that I copied his spell and therefore know he's on my team. If he's not on my team, well that just sucks for me.

No no, Haste is a DAY action. If you choose to cast it during the next Night Cycle, it will get processed at the very beginning of Day 3, which means the extra attack will be on Night 3, and the no vote on Day 4.

Iparth Erule, on 01 February 2017 - 10:07 PM, said:

Oooooo very confusing. ok i'll wait.

You have stolen the following spell:

This passive ability will only come into effect as of the start of Day 5.

Please note that you've now stolen over 6AP of abilities, so can no longer use the Spell Thief ability.

"Sorrit has a spell called Haste which will allow him 2 night actions. I think that we can collectively say that we do not want him to have that ability. He is either Lionel or Cecil. I think the BHs and the 5th know who their leaders are and can decide which. I suggest a temporary alliance to eliminate this threat."

Iparth Erule, on 10 February 2017 - 06:35 PM, said:

Well, I'm not.
But I'll admit that I've been having some lovely conversations and got some great dirt.

Haste (Day Action) Cost - 4 AP: Target player will be able to perform an additional basic attack during the next night cycle, but will be unable to vote during the next day cycle.

Only an heir or leader would spend 4 AP on this no?

This is basically quoting your PM, consider yourself warned. Do it again, and I will modkill you.

Iparth Erule, on 10 February 2017 - 07:10 PM, said:

Sorry... Can I use haste for the next night?

You can cast Haste one someone during Day 7, and it will give them an extra attack on Night 7, and prevent them from voting on Day 8.

BTW, on the copying my PM, I wasn't thinking of that as part of the reveal rules for some reason. I know, stupid, but I was thinking I was thinking that copying what i stole from Sorrit didn't count. I've honestly never gotten in trouble for doing something like that before, so it was pure stupidity on my part.

It's all good - I figured you probably didn't even think about it when you posted it. Thus the warning rather than the immediate modkill.

Iparth Erule, on 10 February 2017 - 10:08 PM, said:

OK, I think I finally have it sorted out.

Interesting how many Barbarians there are! I guess that means the nights are going to be a maelstrom of damage (and I have a feeling there might be a few Guard-proof players out there...).

Quick question - how would a hypothetical Inheritance work? When I gain additional AP, and I allowed to swap out existing abilities or do I have to keep the ones and then add more? (Basically, I'm asking if there's a way I can end up with a 6AP ability on promotion - do I have to keep some AP in reserve if I want to do that, or can I spend all the AP I have now and then reallocate when the role change happens).

ST

You can't 'bank' AP. Spend what you have now, then if you inherit, you get the extra AP, I'll repost your whole Class PM, and you'll get to spend the extra AP on whatever you can.

An heir isn't supposed to get access to some of the more powerful spells.

Fanderay, on 29 January 2017 - 03:17 AM, said:

(One more question for you - say a player triggers the Entropic Ward passive. If they get hit by an attack that does both Magic and Weapon damage, do they take 1 extra point for each damage type? If not, which type is the extra damage in?)

ST

I may be mistaken - it's hard to remember every single action I've put into the game - but I'm fairly certain that attacks do EITHER magic or weapon damage, not both. I used the "magic damage" and "weapon damage" as a way to make some damage reducible while making other types of damage harder to block. It wouldn't make sense for me to make something both types of damage.

I could definitely have built the Warlock to have attacks that do both - eg. Hunger of Hadar, or taking Pact of the Sword (which gives me bonus NAs that do weapon attacks) and then adding the Eldritch Invocation that adds Magic Damage to each (Lifedrinker, I think it was?). Might be worth taking a look at those to see if they're written right .

Huh. You know, I did a bunch of prep for this game, but one thing I didn't do was check what Barbarians actually do. Just went and had a look back and it appears they get double votes as standard. I guess that puts paid to my idea of controlling the thread . Should have just stuck with the NA game (and maybe taken the Beast Speech passive, since there seem to be plenty of other alts around...)

Fanderay, on 30 January 2017 - 06:23 PM, said:

Possibly being a bit cute, but I thought I'd put in a crosspost between two of my alts to make it seem less likely that they're a pair. It's the little touches that throw off alt-guessers, right?

Right, the plan here is to wait until a bit later in the day, and then have Telas come on and accuse Gamelon of symping for Omtose. Lay down a vote and see if it sparks anything. Then when Gamelon "wakes up" (around midnight/1AM GMT), he comes in and says "YOUR HYPOTHESIS IS WAY OFF!" and votes for Omtose. Hopefully I'll get a bunch of "No, I'm fine with that" votes on top and we'll have a lynch train.

Fanderay, on 31 January 2017 - 05:10 PM, said:

Hmm, I wonder if Omtose is a puppet for Ultama. It would fit with the direction of the thread - I make an accusation about him via Telas, Ultama send the announcement to create a distraction, then hops into Omtose to point the finger at Fanderay (plus allowing him to make an "I didn't know what that was referencing" post).

For now, I guess I should lay off going after Omtose via Telas. But that means I'll need to come up with a credible alternative. Maybe Alkend? But I'm not sure how to twist that into something people might actually vote for.

Fanderay, on 31 January 2017 - 09:16 PM, said:

So the more I think about it, the more I think Shameless Henry was trying to signal that they thought Gamelon and Fanderay were controlled by the same person. And they were right! Couple of reasons they might think that:

- I might have slipped up a little this morning during the French Toast chat. There was a line I posted from the Gamelon alt that went: "Talking about French Toast is making me hungry". But it was Fanderay that was talking about French Toast! Possible they got it from that, they were around at the time. Although I had meant for that post to say "All this talk about French Toast is making me hungry", which would have been less of a tell.
- General hunch from posting style. I've tried to keep my emoticon use varied and drop in occasional spelling mistakes in idiosyncratic ways, but I also have a habit of re-using the same speech mannerisms, especially when I'm tired (which I was this morning when playing both Gamelon and Fanderay simultaneously). Maybe there's something there they spotted.
- They've got some kind of "Read the PMs to SH" ability. Doesn't seem that likely for a barbarian, but I guess they are a Leader so there might be some high AP ability that lets them do that. Not much I can do about that at this point though, since there timer on it has likely expired. But if you're reading this Shameless - don't kill me! We're on the same team!

ST

Fanderay, on 31 January 2017 - 09:28 PM, said:

So, ended up attacking Omtose. Chances are decent (9/11) that he's not in anyone's Role PMs, so hopefully I won't be drawing too many NAs for starting the train.

I'm really pleased with how this has gone . Not only does it look good for the lynch right now, but the way the conversation has gone leaves all sorts of juicy possibilities for Day 2.

Is Omtose actually a leader? No idea. I figure given that I know the identities of four alts I've probably got the best chance of guessing right (3/11 isn't great odds though, must admit). If he is, my guys might draw some NAs from the rest of his team, but I figure a lot of them will be more interested in sending their NAs to the bottom dwellers, so hopefully shouldn't take too much damage.

I hope this is fun to watch in SH! Put my Prestidigitation through when you get a chance .

Chains of Carceri on Pallit. If Pallit is no longer alive to be guarded, backup is Alkend. If Alkend is no longer alive, Kessobahn.

Don't I get to claim my inheritance?

Yes, sorry about that... Lots happening, forgot about the inheritance!

Fanderay, on 09 February 2017 - 10:50 PM, said:

Also, should apologise to Tatts/Ultama. Wasn't around enough to step on a grenade for him. Also wasn't there to drop the distancing hammer...that's going to cost me.

Fanderay, on 10 February 2017 - 05:54 PM, said:

Can you give me a couple of hours to submit a provisional before resolving? I'm a tad behind...

Yeah, no probs, I haven't had at chance to even start resolving yet.

Fanderay, on 10 February 2017 - 06:02 PM, said:

OK, my night action will be: Chill Touch on Sorrit.

Reasoning is that Sorrit must have a vote (since he hammered Ultama). Doesn't seem like a Fifth since that stunt to save Mockra on Day 2.

I feel like going after leaders is still something the thread will support. As soon as that changes, will need to invoke Armour of Shadows/Dreadful Word.

Fanderay, on 12 February 2017 - 04:17 PM, said:

Right, it's me against the world. Not sure that I have the firepower to win this 1v5, but we'll see what I can do. I've got a few abilities that will make me hard to lynch now, but my worry is more about the NAs - I'm going to get hit with a lot the way things are going...

Apologies to Sorrit - I guess I must have been the night action that pushed him over the edge. Still no idea what was going on with that Mockra/Trake nonsense on Day 2, that's what confused me.

Fanderay, on 12 February 2017 - 04:32 PM, said:

OK. Provisional Night Action please:

Armor of Shadows on myself. If I survive the next Day/Night cycle, that should make me pretty much impossible to lynch. (That's a big if at this point though)

Will have a think about whether it's worth doing some messaging (either via Announcement or Prestidigitation). None for the moment though.

Fanderay, on 12 February 2017 - 05:30 PM, said:

Actually, the more I think about it, the more chance I think I have here. Being Half-Orc means I am guaranteed to survive tonight. That's really useful! If I can manage not to be dropped to 0 health tonight, then since I basically have a lynch proof at this point I might be able to win the game via the thread. Going to be some tough negotiating to get there though. And I'm going to have to figure out exactly who and when to use the Dreadful Word ability on. First thing I need to try and figure out is who is on who's side. Remaining alts are:

Iparth Erule
Lock
Kessobahn
Alkend
Tulas Shorn

vs

Me

Must lynch a BB player today, or they'll have thread control. So key is to try and find the bloc of three alts that are out there (Vash, Mage Hand and Minsc).

ST

Fanderay, on 12 February 2017 - 05:35 PM, said:

Ah, hang on. BB already has thread control. Three votes needed for a lynch, and only 4 players left who can actually vote. That means I need to convince the BB leader to lynch Minsc somehow, or hope that the Paladin has two votes (not sure that they will though). If they lynch the BH leader today, that means I'm toast the next day. I'm going to go and reread all the players around that Trake fiasco. The players that were vocal about Telas over Trake are probably BH.

Fanderay, on 12 February 2017 - 06:11 PM, said:

Worth noting: Alkend must be Bridgeburners - he was advocating a Bek Okhan lynch over Telas.

Fanderay, on 12 February 2017 - 06:14 PM, said:

Can I make the following announcement, please?

Bridgeburners win unless we lynch one of them today. Bonehunter leader (whoever you are), I think we need to ally to stand a chance. Are you with me?

Fanderay, on 12 February 2017 - 06:36 PM, said:

So, I think the factions are:

Alkend, Kessobahn, Iparth Erule
Lock, Tulas Shorn <--- Makes sense given Lock hasn't had much time to play - this translates in to TS not having much time either.
Me

Need to get Lock/TS on-side. Should probably have thought about that before I fingered both of them on-thread, huh?

Fanderay, on 15 February 2017 - 10:27 AM, said:

OK, I'm pretty convinced that IE is the leader of the Bridgeburners.

- The finding ability they're displaying is consistent with the Arcane Trickster/Spell Thief combo for a Rogue.
- They can definitely vote, as they dropped the hammer on BO.

I'm leaning towards Kessobahn being their Mage Hand. He has been the provocateur on thread and there was a point where IE tried to suggest that Kesso was real on the basis of the BOOM they got a few nights ago. I think that's a good indication that IE/Kesso are a pair. I'd like to try and get some more certainty on that though - will look back to see if there's more evidence.

I know that TS is the clockwork toy. Question is, does he belong to Alkend or Lock? I'm leaning Lock - the message about not accidentally lynching today suggests to me that the only player it's possible to lynch today would be BH leader. That would make sense if the BH leader can't vote (like Lock claims). But Alkend is doing a good job of muddying the waters.

I need to get this sorted out before tonight so I can use my Dreadful Word to get IE lynched. I figure that should be possible, I just need to be sure of the non-leader BB player remaining so I can convert their vote. Lots of analysis coming up, I guess...

Fanderay, on 15 February 2017 - 12:16 PM, said:

Question about Dreadful Word: if my target votes night, what happens?

Fanderay, on 15 February 2017 - 01:21 PM, said:

Gah, but I don't have time to do the analysis today. But I know that I'll probably be the focus of whatever damage output IE can do tonight, so I'm worried that I only have two game days left. Without the impetus to lynch today on thread, I don't see what I can do to win this .

I think I'm just going to have to take a punt on either Alkend or Lock being the remaining BB player. Going to do a quick reread of them to see if I can figure it out.

ST

Fanderay, on 15 February 2017 - 02:43 PM, said:

OK, please change my night order to the following:

Dreadful Word: Tomorrow, all Alkend's votes are for Iparth Erule

I hope I'm right! If I can get a lynch on IE, that would be epic.

ST

Fanderay, on 15 February 2017 - 10:14 PM, said:

Announcement:

Bonehunters leader: Please confirm if you are behind this possession.
Bridgeburners leader: Are you Lock?

Fanderay, on 15 February 2017 - 11:59 PM, said:

Cancel that announcement, please.

Seems like I was right, and saved the game with my Dreadful Word! Going to let them stew though, letting them know what's happening would be a mistake.

Fanderay, on 16 February 2017 - 12:04 AM, said:

New announcement:

You won't be able to lynch Lock today! Muhahahahahahahaha!

I'll let you do trial and error until you figure out who it is possible for you to lynch. There is one player you can get.

Provisional Night Action: Armor of Shadows

Fanderay, on 16 February 2017 - 12:13 AM, said:

On the flipside, if what Tulas says is correct and we're rolling back 24 hours, then my night action would remain the same as it was last night: Dreadful Word on Alkend: His votes count for Iparth Erule

Fanderay, on 16 February 2017 - 01:27 PM, said:

I've been really stupid. A thought just occurred to me while I was contemplating the game on the toilet - why not just make Iparth Erule's votes count against himself? That simultaneously solves two problems:

1) IE probably has a way of making his vote count double
2) IE is the leader we need to get rid of

So, if TS's rewind time results in us having to redo the end of the previous day, then please change my Night Action to the following:

Dreadful Word: Iparth Erule's votes will be placed on Iparth Erule

If that's not what's happening, I'll deal with it when it comes up.

Fanderay, on 16 February 2017 - 01:40 PM, said:

On a separate note, can I suggest that if you run another one of these in the future you make sure you have a co-mod? With so many Day actions and intricate mechanics, you really need as close to 24 hour mod coverage as you can get. Not having someone to resolve and publish Day Actions quickly strongly weakens their power and causes big delays - I feel like this game has suffered quite a bit from this.

Overall I've enjoyed the experience . But I'd have to think twice about playing again in the future if you were going to run it solo.

ST

Fanderay, on 16 February 2017 - 11:53 PM, said:

Armor of Shadows tonight please.

Fanderay, on 17 February 2017 - 10:21 AM, said:

Actually, check that. I don't think there's any point in using Armor of Shadows because if it would stop them lynching me they'd be able to lynch Lock instead (and if that happens it's game over).

So instead, please do Chill Touch on Alkend

Fanderay, on 17 February 2017 - 05:56 PM, said:

Night Action:

Second guessing myself - IE is more likely to deal physical damage, which I can't really do much about...but it's too late. I guess we'll see what the resolution ends up at.

There, that should be everything!

Thanks again everyone for playing!
