    By the way, I suffered 2 damage from a Water attack. 2 Water and 2 Fire makes sense, while 3 Fire simply can not be at this early stage.

    Crow's attacks: no element was attributed to the first. That's got to be the scum attack, right there.

    Vote: Potion 1 to Crow
    Are you saying you got hit by a water attack last night, Montmorency? From the write-up it sure looked like you were hit by fire.

    I'm not fully convinced that Crow was attacked by the mafia last night. Jarema did mention that a couple of players did have initial XP points they could spend - it's not impossible for one of them to already have high fire AV and then upgrade it further during the first night. Also, I'm guessing the heads of the colleges must have pretty decent stats so it might well have been the head of the fire one.

    ftr: Jarema lists the damage done to you and states its element, so I know it was earth and fire - glad to see someone else corrected your mistake Chaotix - I wasn't lynched, but I'm happy to vote for the guy who was lynched again
    vote: Capt. Blackadder

    Don't bother voting the potions to me - I'm no power role and I only have 1 HP which no amount of potions will help.

    Anyway - What were you doing with your shiny new shield this week Khaan?

    vote muddy potion: Visorslash
    vote steamy potion: Visorslash

    My descrtiptions sucks at times... the attack with the ceiling was supposed to be an earth attack(ceiling = stone...); I want all attacks to have obvious elemental ties in descriptions

    I'm guessing that the head might be able to do such damage, but a student? The attacker at least 5 and 6 in attack (damage= attack-def-1). 4 I can see if I squint hard enough, but 5 and 6 is impossible this early, unless you have something like 3 in starting attack and 10-15 starting exp. Add coordination between two elements.

    Besides, if I'm reading correctly, Lazy dodged the fire base of the attack (lucky dodge, corrupt fire version turns around and attacks). That's one big tell sign.
    Better check. Jarema, does corruption work as an attack value or is it only extra damage?
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I see that it is ambigious, so I will write it with brackets:
    damage = (attack - defense) +1; is always at least 1 if attack hit; can be higher due to corruption; some other factors can influence damage

    MY MISTAKE: I wrote to Montmorency that he was attacked with water.
    Montmorency was attacked with fire.

    Surely the attacks on LazyMcCrow were mafia? I can't believe that two of the college heads would happen to attack the same person on night one and I can't think of anyone else who would be able to do that much damage, unless I am just massively weaker than everyone else.

    Vote:Ignoramus for trying to deflect attention away from the Crow attacks.

    As for the potions I agree with LazyMcCrow, it hardly seems worth giving them to him if he only has 1HP left, he may well still die even if he used both of them tonight. Not really sure who to give them to though...

    Vote muddy potion: Montmorency
    Vote steamy potion: Montmorency


    I guess if he has been attacked it makes him a tiny bit less likely to be scum.

    I appreciate it R - but as i said in a previous post - I only have 1 HP left, so giving me the potions would be a waste. Visorslash seems in his usual supertownie mode, so thats who I voted for the potions

    Why would defensive potions be wasted on you? If anyone would need extra defense to survive, surely it would be you.

    Lazy. He dodges the inital fireboll indicating some defense (could be artistic writeup though), the fireboll then return in some nasty (corrupt) version that hits him.

    If I'm getting Jarema correctly, then there was less devastating attacks than I previously thought. Min 3 and 4 in attack. And less corruption damage than expected (2-3 damage at maximum). It's possible that they start out with non-maxed corruption then.

    Lazy, is it too much to ask what your defenses were at the attack? I'm number crunching.
