The strange occurences that are the subject of this chronicle have taken place across many times and places. One of these points in time and space is Oran during the 1940s.

Dr Bernhard Rieux made one of his daily rounds at the hospital. The sickness had spread quickly across the city during the last weeks. The hospital was running out of space; the less wealthy patients were put on the floor due to a lack of hospital beds. Rieux leaned down towards one of them. "I will have to take a blood sample", he said. The patient showed no sign of understanding. Rieux sighed, and put the needle down his forearm to extract the contaminated blood. As he removed the needle, he saw a buring in the patients eyes. "Fascinating", he thought.

The patinet yelled: "It is you! The Grim Reaper!" He moved quicker than one would expect of a man in such a condition, snatched the needle from Rieux' hands and forced his own blood down into the doctor's veins.


silverspawn has been lynched! They were Dr Bernhard Rieux, (from Albert Camus' The Plague), the Vanilla Townie!

Night 1 begins now and lasts until December 20 at 4 am forum time. All night actions are due within 24 hours.

A note about holidays.

The 25th will be skipped for all deadline calculations, as well as the 1st of January.

For the 24th, 26th and 31st, every two hours on either of these days will count as a single hour for the purposes of deadline calculation.

       I love writing under some sort of verbal constraint that forces me to stay within a narrow band of language. Once the reader and writer have "agreed upon" the constraint, virtuosity becomes possible. In any event, constraint helps me to proceed.

Ah, I know this stuff was discussed before (around post #570), but I was kind of too side-tracked to be posting at that point, as my single post that evening shows :-P Did we ever check with faust that the UB can't just inherit the power of the next PR to die instead? I can see the game-mechanic reason for not having the UB take on the restless spirit power, because it doesn't end after death. But in my original reading of the rules, I think I assumed the UB would still stay intact as a UB on the death of a RS, not that they'd become a VT because of it.

If we had a UB in the game at the start, would that UB still inherit the power of the next PR to die, or would they now have been converted to a VT by the RS's flip?

If the vig claims, will they become an IC (unless counterclaimed)? It's the only killing role as far as I can tell (although it's possible there could be two, so two claim situation wouldn't be so straightforward). Not encouraging anyone to claim just yet, just thinking about the implications.

Yes, a claimed vig would (unless counterclaimed) be an IC. In regard to the multiple vig scenario, a setup with exactly 1 vig and at least 1 spirit is 79 times as likely as a scenario with at least 2 vigs and at least 1 spirit.
(Unless I have a fatal mistake in my code, will look into that tomorrow). So we shouldn't be too worried about having a multiple vig situation. (Not proposing anyone to claim though)

I think it's better that the vig doesn't claim unless at L-1. Keeps scum on their toes and might make them more likely to use their kills inefficiently. But of course, it's up to the vig.
