If Blaster Master feels that he needs to come forward with any information, that is his decision.
The only possible confusion with that is that the Vicar’s power is a day power. If dotchan is telling the truth (which I don’t have any reason to believe right now), then her blessing won’t happen until dusk. Idle will be a vampire until then.
Unless his juju kills the blessing, and the curse takes hold anyways. Oy vey.
Everyone… my apologies, but I’m experiencing a rather serious personal crisis. I’m unsure if I’ll be able to continue the game. I’ll try to let you all know if I’m able to continue or not before the Day ends.
I hope everything turns out okay for you, BlaM.
Whoah, me too!
About dotchan’s role claim, it seems suspicious. Aren’t you afraid of getting killed off now? There are going to be two vampires out there (two, if your power doesn’t work, I mean). And there’s no Witch Doctor anymore, and we don’t know if there ever was a Warlock.
The more I think about it, the less inclined I am to believe it. The timing and circumstances are just sooo unlikely. Here is what I think happened:
CatInASuit, dead certain to get lynched, claims Necro with Bonus Death Threat to get himself another night.
During that night, our WitchDoctor gets killed and Cursed by the Vampire. (Fancy that!)
Why kill Idle out of all those other juicy Townies? The WitchDoctor is the role that can enchant a target and, if he gets lucky, bring that person back from the dead.
So, if sachertorte had not revealed the Curse, Idle would have come back toMorrow saying “Hey guys, I self ju-ju’d and now I’m confirmed Town. Lynch [insert townie here]”
Happily for us, sach did not die and was able to examine Idle’s body, revealing the Curse.
“Zoinks!” scum say, “Our plan is foiled!” (You would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for that meddling Coroner).
Unless, of course, there was some way to sow doubt about Idle’s Curse and his return…
Just saw Blaster’s post. Sorry, I also hope everything goes well for you.
NETA: Good luck, Blaster Master.
All the best Blaster Master. I hope things work out for you.
Good luck Blaster Master.
I disagree.
If anything, a protective power might have been able to protect a player from a curse, prior to it happening. (i.e., protection would have had to have occurred last night before Idle Thoughts got cursed). Protecting from a curse after it has already happened doesn’t make sense. Who would build a game mechanism like that?
I must also admit, that it makes little sense for an undead dotchan to speak out and bring attention to herself. I only know that dotchan’s words directly conflict with the events as Pleonast has stated them: Idle Thoughts will rise again as a vampire. dotchan is completely contradicting what Pleonast has told me.
Blaster, I hope everything turns out OK for you.
I think you’re right about the protection. The other protective Roles work that way:
[ul]
[li]The WitchDoctor picks someone, and if they get killed that Night they will rise again[/li][li]The Warlock, if there is one, works the same way[/li][li]Witch protection works the same way[/li][li]The Magician, if there is one, works the same way[/li][li]Even the Vicar’s known Bless power works this way[/li][/ul]
As far as I can see, there is no retroactive protection in any Role.
See my post above about an undead dotchan’s possible motive.
Hey, don’t worry about us, we’ll be able to carry on, somehow. Good luck with your personal stuff!
Actually, the Vicar’s power works on the dead, unlike all the other roles. The only live player the Vicar can bless (and have it work) is the lynchee, whose death resolves at the same time as the blessing.
This is such a hugely gutsy play on dot’s behalf if she is, in fact, the other undead.
And the Magician, Warlock protection isn’t that you’ll rise again…it’s that you won’t die if you’re blessed, but your killer will. (Unless it’s the vampire, yeah yeah…)
Yes, but it doesn’t protect against death. It protects against zombification, and the Vicar must choose a target before that zombification, just like the others have to choose a protect target before the bad thing that they are protecting against.
Am I being clear?
See my post above. I’m not talking about the specific power/result, I’m talking about the timing.
Sorry, you’re right. Yes, the blessing must be before, as you point out.
I remember we had a similar discussion of timing with Idle Thoughts who believed he could bring back any corpse, when in fact, he could only bless someone before they died (meaning all the already dead corpses were off limits for him).
Crystal. Except Vampirification, technically, hasn’t occurred yet. You may be right, perhaps not. I still lean toward dotchan (finally) = scum
