Does the copied ability have any extra spheres on it?
Also, this vote looks painful Who isn't voting? (Toony and Elephant right now after a moment's thought.)
My copied ability is a perfect copy of my original. It also gained free and one shot, as described in the dup ability, which I gained. It is 100% the same as the original, no new spheres, and lost nothing.
My original is completely unaffected, it is exactly like it was before it was copied.
If I keep 'ability duplicate' unused tonight and live until D3, it becomes free (it currently requires an action). If there's no excellent 'this could eat the NK N3 if it works at all' as the squirrel-waffles NJW kinda sorta maybe claimed sphere to target, my plan involves 'I keep this until N3; I have a pretty pro-town use for that action'. It's the same action that I would have used on the glass that I'm trading to EP.
If I use 'ability duplicate' it probably passes to someone else, and if so, it's not gonna become free. I also have a 'better use' for that action of mine N2 than just 'duplicating any-old sphere'. But if we can actually potentially control the night kill in a real way, this is better.
Also, if I keep the apple from rotting, I can't trade it to anyone tomorrow. I can give it N3, and trying to dup it N3 with the free dup is on my list of ideas. But if we can dup NJW's squirrel-waffle thingy, then he doesn't need to have an apple for N3; either the ability worked as he claimed (he initially said 'don't bother to protect me tonight' when he agreed to take the Page' or there's no NK/other kill, or he's dead, whatever. Hope he doesn't just reflect the NK into the crowd, that's not extremely pro-town especially not to tell us.
Huge chance I eat the apple tonight, but if I see anti-town flip, maybe not.
But that dup... the copy becomes a 1shot.
I have a way to recharge one-shots that should work for NJW, so if I love what I see happen as of D3, that can be discussed, and is an option if we dup the ability and that works.
