[LoM] Aftermath

[Ashe]

The first night was an interesting one, starting with Mal Nova sending me the following PM:

LOM: Using Destiny on...
John Doe

Not one hour behind him, I began to receive more questions regarding abilities. Celena sent me the following:

What do you mean 'Town'? My role can only be used on a townsperson?

My response was

First post, first section -

Quote:
Every player has been sent a role. A typical role card will look like the following.

Quote:
(Character Name) - (Name of Ability) -(Description of ability)(Use limit if there is one)(Alignment)(Ability Classification).
Here's an example that is not in the game:

Nunu-bot - Love of Pushing - You must use the word push at least twice in every post you make. Lynch votes you make will receive +1 to them. Town. Triggered ability.

His name is Nunu-bot. His ability (and desire) is "Love of Pushing". This requires that he use the word push at least twice in every post he makes. Additionally, all lynch votes he makes will have +1 added to them. The ability does not state anything about "revealing your role" so the effect will be a secret modifier that will not be known until the final result. He is a member of the town. His ability is a Triggered ability.

His response was to send me the following two messages: "Okay. I'd like to make John Doe immune to lynch votes." "and targetted abilities." Given that this was the first day, I wanted to make sure people didn't make a simple understanding error so I replied to him the following:

Alright. What will happen is that at the end of the Day phase, he will gain invulnerability, so if a lynch would happen on him (if he has the most votes), he will not be killable. He will also be unable to be targeted for any targeted abilities in this next Night phase.

When this happens during the Day's final closing post, you will be revealed as Kayle. This ability will consume its One Time Use charge, which means that most likely you will not be able to use your ability again this game for anyone else.

Are you sure? (I'm not encouraging or discouraging, I just want to make sure you understand how it will play out - barring any other ability interfering with your own).

Becoming aware of this, he decided "If I can only use my ability once throughout the game, then I'll save it."

I also, after a lot of consideration, decided to amend the Karthus ability a bit as I (at the time) didn't feel that the Requiem side of things was properly tuned for the game. It felt like Karthus, but I felt that it could be so much more. I sent him the following:

I modified your ability.

You will now only be able to continue posting and voting for one day after you die. You will be considered part of a win if the game ends within three days of your death.

I have added Requiem onto your ability. "When you die, you will add +3 lynch votes to all players in the next Day phase, allowing the possibility of multiple lynches due to multiple "majorities"."

I now know that, due to the way things turned out, that if I did something like this again, I would absolutely not do it to the strength that I applied it.

I also fixed a simple error regarding Jarka's Lee Sin ability with "I meant to modify something. Your ability is not a Day role, it is a Triggered ability."

She fired back for a question of "Oh, I was also wondering: does the effect stack cumulatively? (Three days of doing so = -3 lynch votes)" to which I simply replied "No."

---

On a similar note, Josh asked me: "My shadow walk ability, does it tell me when someone has tried to use an ability on me?" to which I replied "No."

---

My response to Mal Nova's attempt at using Destiny was:

Your Destiny reveals John Doe to be...

Olaf - Beserker Rage -You are now a bro, bro, and must speak like one while typing your posts over some Graggy Ice. Every two lynch votes against you will add one lynch vote to votes made by you, bro. Triggered Ability.

During all of this, I also received a notice from Rafael with the following:

Gonna use this on...JD. 3/4 charges left

At the end of the night, my notes said the following:

Mal Nova - Targets John Doe for Destiny
Rafael - Targets John Doe for Infuse
MAFIA NEVER SENT A KILL REQUEST

*Now this last comment is huge as it really shifted the momentum quite early in the game. As seen above with all of those PMs, not one was a target for the Mafia's ability, which might have made or broken the game, we'll never know...

And on to Day 2.
