Just kind of wanted to confirm that I still want to play this setup. Totally didn't forget that I had already signed up or anything like that.

- No role may successfully target itself.

Fixed that for me.

Does that mean that if someone is bus driven onto himself, the action will fail?

See this is why you guys are nice to have around, catching stuff like this. Let's see how to correctly word this to get the following rulings across:

- A player may target themselves, this will use up a shot.
- The action taken by that player will not have any effect on themselves
- If bus driven to take an action upon themselves the action will have an effect.

Let's try:

- Roles may self target and will use up a shot, but unless the self targeting was caused by bus driving the role will not have an effect.

Why are you even allowing them to self-target at all in the first place ? Wouldn't it be cleaner to just say town roles can't self-target ? Then Bus Driver trumps that obviously and you're good to go.

I think it is possible to just say "no role may choose themselves as a target".

The only thing this does not allow is strategic self-targetting hoping that a Bus Driver redirects the shot to someone else... but I think that's a very narrow strategic space anyway.

Well I want there to be a mechanism where someone could choose to use up a shot but be guaranteed to have it do nothing and have no effect. It is kind of like the Ace card that Goko implemented for Wishing Well. This I feel is necessary because the game is working under a limited number of shots from which to pull.

You could just add a Use Shot mechanism that does exactly that and nothing else.  You can choose to do it in lieu of an action.

[Teproc]

That's even more convoluted. Yuma's current wording seems better if he wants that option, I doubt it'll be used though.

I suppose if you want a tracker/watcher to see you take an action, you need to target someone, even if the action is going to fail.  I could see some edge case uses.

It's frustrating to think "oh great, ash hammered" when you see the new reply only to realize he is already signed up for the game.
