I was _Cursed_, and have the _Helm of Empathy_ (as well as the _Shield of Adamantium_)

Basically what I expected.

Well it sucks that they were both Good, but yay for them being Chaotic at least.

Once we know who the Cursed player is (and I see TDPatriots has claimed to be Cursed) we can have the Clerics consider using their Turn power to attempt to ameliorate the Curse.

By the way, I asked Pleo what effect my singing a bawdy song would have on the Curse. The answer was “none at all.” That should have been obvious, but I skipped over a detail.

Don’t ask me to sing a bawdy song. You won’t like the results. Trust me on this.

Holy crap, you guys! I went shopping for a freezer and then I went out running, and I came back and all hell broke loose!

I didn’t get a reply for my action. Maybe Pleo is still sending them out?

Or maybe the moderator accidentally skipped you. If you’re expecting a result (not all actions will generate a result) and didn’t get one, please let me know. 🙂

My Cookware skill is too low, and I failed my Dexterity saving throw to burn myself on the finger making dinner ☹

I’m not inclined to say what I did or to whom at this point, but my turn of Turns was wholly lacking of anything to report. If a compelling reason to share that information arrives, I’ll consider sharing it.

Aw, that really sucks. Nothing hurts like a burn.

So, **Hawkeyeop** , what did you do to **Darth Sensitive**?

Listen, sachetorte’s said it. Hawkeye’s said it. The rest of you need to just settle down and accept it.

And as far as I can tell, neither of them had any evidence to base that assumption/assertion on. The smell of PIS seems to be getting more pungent. Is this two scum slips we’ve witnessed?

There is no winking/grinning smilie at the end of that statement, but I cannot read it without assuming he meant to put one there…

Sorry, I didn’t imagine the possibility that anyone would read it without assuming an implied smilie.

Please consider this appended the following to the end of my last post for the sarcasm impaired: 😉

I understood you Boozy. Doesn’t change anything though. Neither of them had any good reason to call you Good or a Townie. And at this point I think I believe that you are, but no one is going in the confirmed column for me yet. Sachertorte also now has a very convenient failed investigation. To further some more discussion on the topic and because I think FOS in this game are lame:

\*\*Vote Sachertore

Vote Hawkeyeop\*\*

I just realized I’m less than (equal to?) one Turn away from being confirmed town. I will sleep on how much of a prick this allows me to be. Maybe I’ll vote everyone.

I’m much more intrigued by your investigation from last night, Chucky.

As far as letting hawkeye off of the curse, I’m of two minds. In the first place, it would keep the amulet from being in the hoard, and would give us a pretty reliably proven Townie in a game we’ve not started off well in. On the other hand, I don’t really see a magic-user as being a particularly helpful class for us to keep around, unlike the investigative roles.

I would save it. My powers are really only useful to me and not really useful to LG at large. The only real benefit to saving me is prevent the items I have from going to the Hoard this Turn.

But then what is preventing them from Cursing me again? Use an ability like that, if you still have it, closer to the Endgame.
