"Do you even know if banishing Doraido will lower to price of manifesting new dryads?

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Doraido
"... Right, what happened there?
Well, at least it's gone?"

A reminder that most active spells end. Termination would at best mean spending 10 Mana to summon another. Yet in the time that can be recouped, it will be nearly time to summon another. And while Lifelink isn't the best, that cost won't be refunded either.


Doraido attempts to link two dryads together through the bond with the tree. Lifelink magnitude 2, Petra and Doraido.

Is Empowering Roar even still active?

It was unsettling him to see all the Life Links being tossed about. Red Text was to be obeyed, and Doraido had used it about Every. Single. Turn.

Use Dryad Banishment on Doraido.
Quote from: THE TREE'S INTERNAL POLLING SYSTEM
REGARDING THE BANISHMENT OF ONE DRYAD "DORAIDO"
FOR: Oakstance
AGAINST: Doraido (Assumed)

"You all are free to argue other points, like destroying Doraido's physical form to keep their spirit with us, but I know how we can be if the issue isn't pushed with force."

Old Oak:

Use Dryad Banishment on Doraido

Are you guys sure about this? I'm not so sure you thought this through.

"I disapprove of this. We don't actually know what effects it'll have.
Could Doraido make themselves notably more effective than they are? Certainly. Does that justify wholly obliterating them in order to hopefully make it easier to bring in a replacement? I say it does not."

(For clarity: A vote against banishment.)

Not at all, no. I wouldn't have triggered the vote at this juncture or maybe ever, but, given that it's pulled, I know what side Old Oak comes down on.

Still, I think the real responsibility lies with the person who decided on 5n cost for players to participate. :P It seems to cause some friction among those who got locked out for a really long time in favour of clearly inferior candidates.

If you think you know better than me, make your own game.

"...Alright, hold up, I've worked around enough on Sufficent Velocity to listen REALLY HARD when the GM drops a hint. I don't know what I just said, but it sounded serious."
Disregard previous action. Research: Will Banish Dryad actually reduce the cost of manifesting a replacement Dryad?

I don't know why you would even think it would, honestly. Are you not familiar with how Supernerd GMs? If it doesn't say it will, it won't.

That was actually OOC so nobody knows who you're talking to, BUT

Basically, my impression is that Supernerd is incredibly strict about word-level precision, which leads to frequent hilarity when people who are laxer in the brain inevitably try doing things the wrong way, only to waste their time. So, if nothing actually says that something will happen, I assume that thing won't happen.

Banishing: 10 Mana lost from Adolescent, 3 mana lost from new spell. 13 deficient. Assume cost reduction, another 5 mana used for the new one means a -18 deficient. Then spend 10 more mana to bring the new Dryad to adolescent. 28 mana deficient. Enough to summon a new Dryad outright, even without me having spent mana for a spell.

Yes, go ahead, this can in no way go wrong.


Resist Banishment Vote.


GM asks if you thought it through, the above is true. 28 mana pretty much lost permanantly, and none of my skills are worth summoning me for. My healing is done better by a tree spell, my Lifelink would dissolve immediately, my fertilization is not worth the cost, and my Light Bind isn't gaurenteed to last more than one turn if I'm gone.

Using Lifelink carelessly means actually being linked when the other side dies. Or attaching it to something you are attacking.

Anyway, if I am Banished that is effectively game end for this Dryad. I'd never be anything actually worth the cost after this.

"Worth summoning you for" nothing, we don't even get the option of summoning you if we banish you. It completely removes you from the game.
