Hey hi, checking in.
After more thought about the heck I should do, and watching the lay of the land (the land really is just... laying there, right?) -
I will not be handling CM N1. I do highly recommend someone who can does handle CM N1 however that player chooses to; I think it's maybe likely CM tried to kill me, and secondly maybe likely that CM tried to protect me in a way that changed a bite into something less transformative, because of this post:
Imp: I suggest you refrain from talking about any status conditions you gained last night as I fear it will threaten your safety.
Far as I know, CM's trying to get me to not say I'm wounded, which helps make sure those who cause wounds (Verm, whomever bit Tric, whomever actually wounded me) don't know I'd die if they visit me.
But it's also possible CM gave me some protective status that fired the same night it was given,
maybe even taking a vamp bite down to a wound without a bite effect. Part of why I suspect that, my info shows [vampire] modifier gives two actions per night. Whoever bit Tric could have bit a second person or done anything else with the second action I expect they have, if they are indeed a [vampire] modifier and not something else (which is totally possible, my info's limited and locked to telling me what I can do, and what those who I transform can then do). World of Darkness has ever so many kinds of vampires, for all I know this game could have more than 1 type too.
I'm really not sure, but I definitely didn't get candy from CM.
Hey, Crystalizedmire, What do you protect from? Gaining the undead status tag, gaining any status tags, against alignment conversion, against death, and/or what?
My candies protect from becoming part of the cult that I fight against.
My candies prevent them from becoming cultists but not undead. Sorry.
Anyway, pretty sure someone tried to kill me N0.
Maybe CM, maybe she can kill someone later, maybe don't let her. And/or she can protect against the cult, who I think is winning if it even exists. Again, maybe don't let her. But I have more important stuff to do than myself N1 sit on CM to keep her from going all stabby or something.
Verm, my thoughts about your situation.
If I target you I prevent you from acting N1. I have one reason right now to target you; make you a double actor of a monster status player. By end of N3 you could have targeted 4 people, same as if you'd never been locked down N0 or N1 but never became a double actor by end of N3. If we all even make it that far.
Thing is though.... that double action comes with an undead status and a lot more. CM seems to think if I do that to you I hand you to the cult. I think that could save you from your current really hard wincon, except the cult's wincon might be even harder, or might be worse for me (hey, just cause they have what it takes to satisfy my wincon, supposedly, doesn't mean they have any reason to like me back; I have no idea).
I strongly believe we have 2 vamps at the start of N1, if we don't elim one of them today (and the identified one isn't even undead yet, so can't rapidly help CM to elim today). That means potentially up to 4 bites flying (cult wincon may or may not incentivize biting, I really don't know but I expect vamps act twice at night, for sure [vampire] modifier that I know about those do).
Thing is, with luck there's a vamp that can bite you and transform you into a double actor without preventing your action. May or may not change your wincon which may help or hurt or not even happen 'in time' for when you need it.
And you know things I don't.
If I vamp you:
You lose your N1 action for sure; you are vamp (and maybe have a new wincon - not cause of me; I can light a fire but I don't make everything explode) start of D2 (presuming I act N1). No wound or bite.
If a [vampire] modifier vamps you:
You are informed of a bite and gain a wound. You become a vamp start of N2 (presuming the [vampire] acts N1) which is when you might have a changed wincon if that cult thing's a thing. And presumably you can act N1.
Are you willing to tell me if you'd prefer the risks, problems, and benefits of me transforming you into a vampire N1, or if you'd prefer the risks, benefits, and possible problems of seeing if one of our apparently growing [vampire] modifier population chooses for you whenever they do?
I will make my own decision but I do want to know whatever preference you choose to say, if you care to answer. I don't need you to win for my win, I just like winners and group wins, even disparate and unlikely ones. I know you could lie in various ways, so I figured I'd ask for your preference before I just make all decisions for you
