What tech thing did you build?

A scanner/camera/recorder that can detect radio waves and other things. It's heavy :(

Can it detect psychic waveform mumbojumbo?

I don't think so. I got another message but it's really jumbled. Ghost players hate me <_<

A thought occurred to me that I could convert a mind shield from a barrier into an antenna and then the messages might come in clearer. To make that happen I need a tool kit, which I currently don't have.


Meph: Can we give items during the hunt phase?

You may, it just requires agreement from both people that they are going to meet up for the exchange. Which may, of course, effect or be effected by other actions happening during the phase.

The only major difference between the Hunt Phase and Truce Phase, mechanically, is that I figure out everything that happened in the Hunt Phase at the end rather than incrementally like I do with the Truce phase. And the shop, of course.

Keep getting more psychic messages, but I fear they are only decipherable to someone with a better reading ability. :D

Why are you dorks acting like I'm the bloodthirsty one? I haven't killed anybody this game and only tried to do it during Night 1 when we knew less.
If you're being fully honest it makes me incredibly upset you got paid yesterday without "actually" killing somebody. I feel like you either commit to your actions to get paid or play it honest, not conveniently be honest and get paid.

Dead people are shouting MINES at me in all caps.
I knew the mines were important. We need a suit or something though right?

Wait for it to be revealed that there actually is oxygen in the mines.

Why are you mad at me for playing the game Meph lets me play?

Why don't you try playing the game Meph lets you play instead of the game you were told to play, and see where that gets you.

Trying to escape is an inherently dishonest action. Each attempt of ours breaks our sweet Roseheart's gentle bloodthirsty heart. If we are going to be cheaters anyway, might as well go all the way.

Also, this is Bastard mode. In a meta-perspective, Trickery is inherently what we signed up for. This isn't a meme game, in spite of what IceyTea said.

If you're still trying to play the game, then I would recommend stopping that. PM Meph and tell him you changed your mind. I promise you that you won't have any chance of winning that way.

I've been thinking about it. Some thoughts:
1. You most likely bought a replicator on this Truce Phase. The hacking tool you showed us is implied proof, but you did not show your used replicator which would be direct proof. I think this is probably true regardless, Caz seems to back this up with his own manufacturing today and I've worked with him.
2. How did you buy the replicator though? The Juicebox bounty right? You've admitted you were paid the bounty. That was a very lucky coincidence to work out that way. If you're being honest then you wouldn't have gotten paid normally and there's no way you could have hoped somebody would target Juicebox. Banking on people's hand outs the next day doesn't sound that great does it? The Night action I got from Meph is convincing, but it's flavor and I can't discern the absolute truth which is what's bothering me. I can't believe for the life of me that Jim Groovester is some lucky ass saint.
3. We don't know exactly what techs some of the dead people got on Day 1, things like Webadict's large tech. You're either still holding onto everything or mass-sold for the KOR, which may have added up to 500. This third point doesn't really matter honestly since lying that you got a bounty would be stupid.

Why don't you try playing the game Meph lets you play instead of the game you were told to play, and see where that gets you.
I plan to.



If you're still trying to play the game, then I would recommend stopping that. PM Meph and tell him you changed your mind. I promise you that you won't have any chance of winning that way.
I'm not targeting anybody tonight. I do plan on performing some actions though, which I'm not saying but you could probably figure out.

1. Jim sent me the used replicator for some reason. I'll have Meph show it in a moment.

2. The plan was to fake Juicebox's death. If it weren't for my mind-control and your attack he might have succeeded and gotten the bounty anyway.

3. I agree, I think it's about time someone claim what items juice and web have. Someone looted juicebox and they should fess up to it.

I agree that it is very lucky. But I am being honest because that's what happened.

Instead of making a bunch of supposition about the rules why don't you clarify with Meph if somebody who was only pretending to kill their bounty can collect it if the target ends up dead.

This will establish that what I'm saying is possible.

Jim is right. When you take a closer read of your bounty it's not saying "you must kill so and so to get 1000KOR" rather it's says "The death of so and so will get you 1000KOR. So you're not entirely restrain to the bounty you were given.

Anyways a message came through, and it told me to protect Jim. So I'll be doing exactly that. We need him next phase.

According to a PM conversation I had with Meph a while ago, you have to at least put effort into trying to kill the target (or pretend to). This rule mainly exists to prevent personal shields from causing too much confusion on a double-target.

I did ask Meph about how the bounties work on November 29th.

I can't quote him but he told me you need to be "instrumental to their death" to get the money like if you mind control someone or damaging their personal shield.

Pre-Post Edit:

I can confirm some of this, he didn't say the "pretend to" part though...hmmmm.........

Good.

While we're at it:
@Meph: If your bounty is killed by someone else do you still get the KOR?
