How does Nab protect Hermit?

He absorbed Pug's abilities. He's now the inventor.

[armlx]

Didn't act. Timeline for absorbing inventor role:
N1, I get role.
D2, I broadcast that I have role.
N2, I give ability to a player I can't trust 100%.
D3, I broadcast that that player now has power.
N3, that player acts.
D4, we finally get a result.

Shuts off too many options, takes too long, too many weak links.

Original Roll String: 1d5 (STATIC)

1 5-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

No, he did not.

[shaft.ed]

N1, I get role.

If he didn't that's utter ritardation. Nab can you confirm that you didn't pick up the role?

[armlx]

Why is that bad? The inventor takes just as much time to work as him absorbing a night ability of the deceased.

[shaft.ed]

Bah I just read over the role description. I didn't realize he could only pick up one role.

Nab that was a very poor play can you please explain.

[armlx]

EBWODP: Deceased = someone who died last night.

The inventor has 1-shot NK immunity which = Doc. Since it should have been expected that King would survive via JK, then we get a free scum using King and the protect on N2.

So it doesn't work on lynchees?

[shaft.ed]

So the inventor abilities cannot be used in the same night as they are sent? OK I wasn't aware of that.

[armlx]

No, my point was the inventor doesn't do anything until Night 3 if he absorbs it now, and he can instead absorb a powerful role that died last night and it would go active N3.

[armlx]

Sarnath'ed. You got it now. I agree with him, seems better to absorb the info role that dies tonight.

[shaft.ed]

they can use it the night they get it.

[shaft.ed]

Inventor does work on same night. So that's really not a good explanation?

I'd still like an explanation from Nab.

[armlx]

Oh.

/facepalm.

I can see how he could have missed that though.

However, I don't know if NN's ability is necessarily a night ability. I would ask the mod and see if we can fix that.

Petrache Poenaru

(Pug89), 1799-1875, Romania. Petrache was a mathematician, engineer, physicist, and inventor. He was noted as the inventor of the fountain pen. Died of natural causes.

Inventor

, from various raw ingredients around the area and in the river you have developed three basic contraptions. At night, you may give one of your contraptions to someone to give them either a 1 shot Doc, 1 shot Cop, or 1 shot NK immune.

They can use it the night they get it.

You may chose which of the contraptions to give away, but you can only give away one of each.

I was assuming otherwise until I went back and read this, though, so I can certainly believe that Nab thought the same.

[iamausername]

Sarnath'd by four or five posts, woot.

[armlx]

Mod, is the Dead Role Absorber a Night only role?

[shaft.ed]

That does seem like an exploitable loophole.

Once during

this game

, you may target any dead player

But I'd feel bad doing so if it was not the intent.

My thoughts exactly.

[Cyberbob]

Hmm. So Cyber is not for sure town. He could have easily faked a track on me and actually tracked IAUN.

I tracked both due to being motivated. Were you not paying attention?

[armlx]

Right, but you as scum could have been motivated, used 1 action to try to kill Hermit and the other to track IAUN and just claimed I did what I said I would.

[Cyberbob]

OK, sure. You're reaching a

lot

in terms of the fact that

any

other target would have been more likely for the kill to go through (because of your claim), but logically your reasoning is sound.

Were they more likely? Its hard to say.

Bob please comment on this earlier post:

One thing I don't like about the night actions is CyberBob. The tracking of iamusername and armlx are rather poor choices. He says he targets armlx because he figures armlx most likely to make the kill. However armlx was already cleared to use his delayed vig ability. There's no way scum would pass up a town supported vig attempt. Also I really don't see the utility of tracking the JK. It's somewhat possible the JK's target will be confirmable if a night action of some sort was blocked, why waste the Tracking ability when you can target someone that you will not get information on. If CyberBob is scum I think he tracked iamusername in the hopes that he might get the results before the NK was submitted, and fabricated the armlx results as they were clearly posted before his claim. Finally, why not pass your ability over to Claus?

Mod, is the Dead Role Absorber a Night only role?

it was designed to be a night only action...
