I did not receive an ability last night. However I don't think that an specific ability is restricted to only a single character, or at least thats the way it seems from todays posts.
For some reason in from the games I've read/been in whenever a lynch attempt stalls on someone its like the players completely forget about them and they aren't brought up for at least a couple days. Its really strange and I don't understand why that is, but I don't think we should let Male slide just yet.
Ok, here is what I have so far, gleaned from notes and posts:
N1: Harry enter sphere, Laarz (Harry) roleblocks
N2: Ted enters sphere, pharphis (Harry) roleblocks, flubb (Ted) watches
N3: Beth enters sphere, thefranklin (Harry) roleblocks, Gory (Ted) watches
Seems to me entering the sphere provides each personality with a power, and that power moves between parts of the personality. It could be a recruiting method as well, but I need to go back and reread stories to see if there are hints of that as well.
The 448 post number is noted. Post 448 occurred ~20 hours after pharphis initial claim (378-379). You have a couple replies in the 450's range, all within an hour of post 448. Then another post a couple hours later in 493. Your own claim didn't come until the next (real life) day in 544 (~22 hours after post 448 and two calendar days after pharphis initial claim). I also notice you claimed after post 521, which was my own claim of receiving a 1x night ability.
All in all, the timeline looks pretty strange to me, though I can't say something scummy is going on. I'd think mafia given a 1x roleblock ability this game would want to take more advantage of it than you appeared to do.
I'd also think mafia, seeing such a roleblock occur on a night with no kills, wouldn't hesitate to focus on a townie. On the other hand, I can definitely see mafia trying to ignore a roleblock occurring on their own hitman.
Wow, making my brain jump through some hoops here, but agreed the timing is odd.
Laarz, why exactly did you hold off claiming?
I don't want to vote for TC because of the reasons I stated before.
There was something feeling wrong and I finally found out what. We have had 3 claimed roleblocks from the Harrys, but only 2 claimed watchers from the Teds. I haven't had the ability. So either Mal has had it or there is a 5th Ted.
@Mal
Have you had the watcher ability?
Unless abilities become active when entering the sphere
It is worth noting the timelines as well.
Only Laarz claimed a N1 power - the night harry entered the sphere.
Well, this behavior was like him in the Cheers game (as scum). He drew a lot of heat day one, then dropped off the map. He was spotted for it there as well.
First part, agreed. Second part: exactly, and I think the same thing happened in the NCIS game.
