    Stones do not pass on after the Brave dies.

    They are treated as items, but have a significantly high chance of showing up on a seering. Much higher than a normal item.

    But it's still possible for the Oracle to miss the stone in the seering, right? A very small chance exists, so that's somewhat scary for the Oracles. Be careful, you guys.

    Thanks for the quick response. :)

    No problem. I'm getting caught up on the thread now that I'm back.

    Oh, and writing the narration. >_>

    Going to go and edit the added information into the OP: just to be totally clear. Any other questions I recieve, I'll do the same.

    Thus is exposed the huge danger inherent in Spectre's plan.

    He's already said he knew he had to do something or else he'd die day 1. So he concocts a plan that gives him more information and access all for the low low price of likely dying early, a price he already knew he was going to pay regardless.

    Spectre is acting mighty evil and is not the one we should be trusting.

    What else could I have done DA?

    As I said before, at least with this plan, I have somewhat of a chance.

    I certainly don't disagree with the fact that TS is mighty suspicious with his actions, but I still think it is a waste using the village vote to kill him, when we have another readily available killer in the ninja, who can go after a suspected person rather than blindly swinging in the dark.

    Bliss, what do you think would have happened if I didn't try this?

    I may not have been bandwagoned, but between the 2 ninjas and however many kills the Stoners get, I would be toast.

    There is a small chance I will be protected this way.

    That's the price you pay for being good. Such is the ways of Phalla.

    At least people were classy enough to wait until you did something to bandwagon you. I was specifically not going to jump on you until you put forward the evil evil plan you did.

    Also, if you're a normal villager and not a super evil special you should have been jumping up and down in joy that the bad guys were going to waste a kill on you instead of a special.

    I was a normal villager in my first phalla and was killed the first night. There was no jumping and no joy. It's never fun to die early in a game.

    Then maybe you shouldn't have been so awesome at it.
    Seriously, the public perception part is just another layer of the overall strategy. Would anybody accept one of the classic "Ardor Deals" if I put it forward? Probably not, but they'll jump for it if Ardor does, because Ardor has built the reputation of being honest in his dealings in these games.

    You've now got the "Damn good and sneaky" label. It'll last awhile but it'll die down given time and a lack of giant sneaky plans....

    I think whoever said not to assume what the ninja kills are going to be is correct and this applies here. Although, I think this whole keep the bandwagons even thing is going to kinda screw up the ninja kills. Especially with the time mages doing god knows what tonight.

    I would guess it's a choice those with kills have to make. Who do you kill and why? Taking the same people out on day 1 obviously shows when said players stop playing. However, you don't necessarily want to be an ass either and take out the people you think really want to have fun and add a lot to the game.

    It's never an easy choice to make. Personally, as Jdarksun notes, I enjoy these games and enjoy playing them more than winning them. That's why I don't mind trying to make deals or whatever comes up to try and add something to them. We each do something we enjoy and I might be in the minority where I'd rather have fun than tru to win all the time. I sign up to have fun in the end.

    Man I need to start reading these threads more carefully.

    Are holy stone people supporting either Larg, or Goltana?

    I ask, because would it be possible for holy stone people on one side to die with the rest of their faction, and have the other faction win even though they had not eliminated 'stoners' on their own side.

    This is correct.

    So we don't need to kill all the stoners, as long as we eliminate the entire opposing team?

    Either way works, yes. Killing all of the Holy Stone owners is useful as it eliminates a number of kills, but not entirely necessary. Remember, they're out for your blood all game.

    Kweh...

    Don't be so quick to dismiss the power of the Zodiac Braves. They are just as dangerous, if not more so, than any ninja currently.

    As time winds down, however, I can see their grip weakening...because they must win completely or perish all-together. Of course, during this whole time, they can WARK together for deadly results.

    My first impression is that it's actually a pretty nice balance mechanism, as it means the stoners need to do everything they can to keep one faction from dominating the game.

    Even if we don't need to kill the Braves to win the game, towards the end of the game they will definitely be a thorn in the side of whichever group is winning. They need to balance out the parties, and thus they'll constantly be killing off people they suspect to be supporters of the dominant prince. They're not necessary targets, but if they're dead, the flow of the game can be controlled more easily.

    That said, I don't think we can honestly decide how much of a threat the Braves are until we know what they're capable of. Only time will tell...

    I had only put forth Ardor. Is there something you know that you're not telling us?

    TehSpectre is always fun to play with.. makes the game interesting. Everyone wants to kill him off. All was an exaggeration :P

    I feel like if we leave the vote totals as is, and the calculators don't meddle too hard, we have a decent chance of letting fate decide who dies.

    This sounds reasonable. So, I'll go ahead and throw away my vote to keep the tallies at tied.

    A good number of people have not only decided to participate in the thread, even when it opened so early, but to change avatars and make awesome sig's or roleplay a bit etc. I think I'm going to vote for the one guy who has been active in the forum but not in this game. Mainly because he's not adding anything to the game.
