    'The' scum attack? Not sure about that being the only one - if indeed it was. I suffered 4 damage from the 'Earth' attack and 5 from the 'Fire' which both seem pretty overpowered for a student.

    Could be college heads/students? Or people who put their points in fire/earth, who already had a bonus.

    Though with the damage values, you might be right.

    4 + 5 + 4 from the lynch?

    You've got a lot of HP there, Lazy.

    You could be scum yourself. Or a college head. Though not the Earth or Fire head, by the looks of it.

    Make a convincing case, and I might just vote you those potions. Could be important to keep you alive. Or lynch you again.

    That's scum logic. It was clearly a Fire attack.

    What's more interesting is that Chaotix has a relatively high Earth DV.

    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.

    Most innocent vanillas would start with approximate values of 2/1/0 in AV/DV, no? With certain elements being stronger then others?

    He probably hoped to get someone with a low DV, assuming he had a high enough DV himself to counter an innocent attack.

    Chaotix and his attacker would therefore likely have the same stats, with a 1 in Earth AV and a 2 in Earth DV.

    The real question is, if your Earth attack is that low, why bother attacking with it at all? It's not like you're going to deal significant damage with it, and in that case it's safer just to study to get the EXP.

    Nah, Lazy just said the first attack was Earth (unless he is just guessing too? Anyway it was like stones falling from the ceiling). Could still be scum though.

    I happen to have 2 Earth Defense. Whoever attacked me is probably innocent, what with a 1 in Earth Attack.

    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

    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?

    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.

    Sorry I'm a bit to much confused than usual, do you mean Lazy or Chaotix? Corrupt fire version?

    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.
